Will it Mow Trees? Subcompact Tractor, King Kutter Rotary Cutter Tackle Huge Yard

Just saw this video for the first time. We moved in to a property in August 2019 that had two pastures that looked exactly like what you were mowing. When I entered one end of a pasture, the weeds were so high I couldn’t see anything around me but weeds. I have a used Kubota L3130 so I was sitting a bit higher than your Johnny. Great video. Thanks.

You gave Johnny a workout for sure. As usual a great job by all and very entertaining!!

That is a nice looking property. This was very interesting to watch, and couldn't believe how well your tractor handled that overgrown lot. It did pretty darn well. Thank you for sharing, and God Bless from Phoenix.

You always amaze me what you get out of Johnny. Always a pleasure watching a man and his tractor working Thanks

You continue to demonstrate the terrific capabilities of these little tractors. Thanks. My 3038E will be getting a similar workout soon!

Well, that was pretty impressive for little Johnny! Looks like a fun, but time-consuming job but should end up really nice after! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this We have a similar setup with our 2025r with the same type of brush-hog and similar brush. I've been a bit afraid to tackle it but now I see it can be done. Thank you

Think I have you beat for once! I just moved to a family owned 40 acres that has not been touched in 30+ years. Reclaiming it from trees and autumn olive bushes with my 1025R! Tooth bar is really awesome

Big job -- little tractor ..no problem. You can do it but it takes time and patience!!! Those sub-compact tractors are beasts!!!

Tim I like your channel. You can use the brush cuter in reverse, years ago when I had to cut my field I had overheating problems when driver forward, so I mowed the field in reverse. Try it next time.

Great video, Tim & Christi. Now that was a monumental task to tackle but you're doing a fine job with the tractor. Tim, in a different video you mentioned you did some special work on your 3 pt hitch to make it lift higher. I'd like to learn how you did that. I'll go back to your last video and see if you referenced the video where you improved the lifting ability of your 3 point hitch. Thumbs up and have a great weekend.

That was some mowing job! My tractor is 29 hp, and I'm not sure I would have tackled that job. However! Looks like you did a respectable job for what you were dealing with. I have a Walco/Douglas 6 foot finish mower, made in Canada, and I would never try that with it. It is a very heavy duty mower, for what it is used for. Rear discharge, makes it nice. Keep those video's coming.

Looks like fun. I can't wait to use my new rotary mower on my field.

Little tractor done a good job, God bless you keep up the good work.

Looks like fun to me ! Property looks nice after you knocked down that brush and grass.

Awesome job Tim. I don't have a brush hog and really don't need one but I do now my lawn and I do a lot of sneezing. With that tall of stuff to mow I would have to take something. You did good my friend. I'll have to send you a picture of my John Deere.

Thanks for the post. I realized I need a tooth bar on my bucket and I like that one.

Great video! I really enjoy watching you work that JD. It’s amazing the capability of the smaller compacts, they can get a lot done sometimes just take a bit longer. Take care!

I would say johnny is far from a toy after seeing a lot of the jobs I have seen johnny and Tim tackle. Tim Its not just your tractor I haven't found a mower or bush hog, cutter that will cut high stuff be it grass weeds or brush like you were mowing here that will get it all cut the first time with some of it laying down I agree in situations like that to get a perfect job it needs to be cut then wait about a week or two and come back and cut it again that's the only way I know to make it look like you or I would want it to look. Don't get me wrong you and Johnny did a great Job on that field it looked great. You and Johnny always do a great Job. By the way how is Christy's foot doing now? Have a great weekend. God Bless!!!

Enjoyable video. Nice to have you show that compact tractors can tackle larger jobs. Hopefully it is only occasionally and not a steady diet, otherwise as you mention, something larger would be more appropriate. I was surprised that you did not mention mowing backwards for trees that are either at or over the claimed capacity of the mower. I have a mower just like yours, but it is old enough that I am not afraid to be VERY aggressive with it. I have learned that I can back up so the rear "opening" in the skirt is where the tree goes. Then when the blades start to hit the trunk, the wood is bent and stressed and it actually slices through surprisingly easily. When the tree falls, backing over the limbs will shred them so only the trunk is left. I've even shredded 3" trunks. The tractor is only 23 hp and the mower is still ready for more!
