Clearing brush with tractor

Something different for a change. Been clearing some overgrown brush that I've been neglecting for about 3 years now and it's time to bust it all out. Lots more that you don't see here that might take me three of four weekends to do. Using a 1977 Yanmar YM2000 tractor fully reconditioned and purchased from RCO tractors in Austin, TX with a full one year warranty on parts and labor. Got it with a loader, the brush mower, a box blade and landscape rake. In the fall I'll get a tine cultivator for the pasture to get it ready for reseeding with clover and rye grass.

Hey is that a 4' bush hog or 5', i have the same tractor, just need a new bush hog, i don't know if it could handle a 5' or not.

@weldermatt07 Four foot, five is too big for that tractor

Nice YM2000. My first tractor was a YM2210D. I used a 5' LandPride Finishing Mower to keep my lawn cut. Lots of power packed in those little tractors!

@SLHawk92 You got that right, they do work great

Looks like he is in too high a gear to me. Moving too fast and whipping the mower around in his turns. Slower and more controlled would be much safer. Looks like inexperience to me.

@tofufarmer Yes, that's my young son with too much testosterone running in his body :-)
