can you add a video on attaching it? i just took my quick hitch off and this is still a pain cant get top center mount to line up?? any thoughts

No more videos?

One of the most realistic videos on how 😢 much of a pain this mower is to set up and lack direction in the manual. I just got one and a major pain and not quick hitch compatible still.

Just like my birds, LOL. Herding tip: Get a light colored, lightweight stick, 5 to 7 feet long. 8 feet seems just a bit unweildy to me, and I stand 6 ft tall. Bamboo works, or a piece of PVC pipe. It's gotta be light, so you can switch hands, and extend it to one side or the other as needed, quickly, without effort. Mostly, just hold the stick parallel to the ground, and walk toward the birds, and they will stay ahead of you, out of reach of the stick. You can steer them anywhere you want. Works for guineas, all my chickens, the ducks, pot bellied pig, sheep, and to a lesser extent, works for goats. When I discovered this, I finally understood why shepard's crooks work! It might work for horses and cattle, but I've had no occasion to test it on them.

Still have the B2601? Haven’t seen a video in a while.

The hat washers always leak on those, we use black rubber seals instead of the plastic ones it comes with. Also the brass fitting behind the valve is a check valve and shouldn't let water run back

How old were they when you started letting them go adventuring?

Get rid of the annoying music

Slip clutch not needed.

I like your coop do you have a website where you go your coop?

The Guinea fowl is a strange bird. They taste so good. The ley a lot of eggs, mos importantly you need to cut off some of their wins so they won't fly away.

You can cut that yellow polyurethane hose to size so it doesn't drag.

I live amongst a grove of deciduous oaks, maples, poplars, and sweetgum trees that create a mountain of leaves during the fall. I purchased a CycloneRake Classic in 2003 and it has been a lifesaver. Fantastic tool, and Woodland Power Products, the manufacturer, has excellent customer service. You have a beautiful place there.

Good job on the Shellback pump 👍

That setup should be able to handle four feet if done properly

2. 3 inches of snow? that's great you' only got a dusting

18 degrees Fahrenheit?? Heck that's beautiful winter weather now if you want to talk 35 below that's different

Sorry about your guineas but your coop is not adequate for them. They prefer high roosting places and not cramped spaces. My parents had guineas for many yrs and they would sleep high in tree's and barn rafters.

How’s the door working, 4 years later? Any issues? Great video.

Well hello there @4:04 ;)

How you make them come back to the coop?

I had Guinea’s for yrs , the females shucked buck wheat and the males did buck.

The rule of thumb on grease is, stop when the grease starts to come out as you pump

I love your raucous flock of guinea hens. Sweet birds! I'm concerned about that one hen at 8:30. What is wrong with her foot? She is limping. Be careful of bumblefoot - a serious staph infection. She could lose her leg. Please see a vet and get some help for her. It must be painful. Its interesting that Hosta plant leaves are toxic for dogs, cats, cattle, but great source of minerals for chickens. Thanks for sharing, this is great footage of guinea fowl. You have both done a great job of training these wild birds to come back to the coop at night, safe from predators. One trick used by owls - the guinea likes to sit on a tree high up. The owl perches next to them, then bumps into them and pushes them off the branch. Once this heavy guinea bird is falling through the air, the owl swoops down and sinks its talons on its body then flies off with one. Coop is best!

Been using the Ratchet Rake for sometime now. In the middle of a maybe two year project cleaning up around the dry creek tree line. Also trying out the woven fabric this year. czcams.com/video/jGBOb48P8Oc/video.html

Getting a little impatient there, Joe? We hit 67F today - warmest yet this year.

Nice!

I have a B2601 and am considering buying the same flail mower. Your videos are very helpful. Seems very capable. How is it holding up? Recommend it?

Could've gone without the music...

Oh you got a little bit yeh. Aren't you in MN? We're in getting hit with this same snow now in Chicagoland.

Not enough to deal with here, yet. Supposed to rain tomorrow.

Hello Joe, my father in law has 150 acres and 4 houses in this property , and we are renting as summer vocation, but that property is loaded with ticks I would like to know if 25 guinea fowls will be enough? And because we have guests they will annoying ???

No risk of whiplash, I suppose. All the best, Joe.

Merry Christmas Soslick family!

Hi Joe. Great video! I'm considering purchase of a Betstco flail mower, but my ranch has tons of rocks everywhere, which I'm trying to remove by hand.. Is it possible to run the mower at a higher level by setting my PTO higher, so the mower cuts higher (roller isn't hitting the ground)?

That weight is nothing for that tractor and should be able to lift over 1000lbs no biggy. Your clamp on pallet forks are a bit short. They look like 36 inch ones and needs at least 43 inches off front of bucket so 60 inch ones. Then you need REAR BALLAST! Lol. Then you could have unloaded it the right way with the forks in the pallet like you first tried. Good times! Not a bad mower for Chinese made oregon based company.

Penetrant. That WAS the key. At least for me. I worried about getting that cutting edge off all summer! So first I hit the bolts with paint remover. I don't think mine were as painted as yours. But it did seem to thin the paint in the threads, which may help most, at least after the bolt breaks free. Then I sprayed some Fluid Film on the bolts. And lots of Gibbs Mega Penetrant, including on the bolt heads on the opposite side, and it leaked through. I did this again the next day. When I finally put my new breakover bar on, the bolts popped free.

I am curious of what the outcome will be. Maybe get a rolling compactor ??? 😵‍💫 I don’t know. Just a random thought.?Thanks for sharing

About 10 years ago we had French drains installed around our house foundation. Your dirt/rock situation is very similar to what I had to deal with. I didn't have drags or rakes back then - just my old B7500 and loader. I back-dragged the whole mess, alternating between "gather mode" and "compression mode" - the former to collect rocks that were more than 50% above the surface, and the latter to (try to) squish down the rest. Grass seed, about a month's wait, then picking the occasional rock during routine mowing. Don't sweat it. scratchypants.com/pics/frdain.jpg

Hi Joe, probably not a big deal, but stainless steel hose clamps?

Hi 👋 joe, nice to see you again👍👌

I thought I was watching a episode of Dirty Jobs🤣 not sure how the rake works but it looks better. Thanks Joe for sharing your experience 😁👍

Joe, pretty inexpensive to add wheel spacers.

Looks like a lot of seat time on the Kubota. I am interested in seeing the rake in action : )

You can rent a Skid-steer for a couple days with a rock grabber attachment and make a worlds difference on the dirt.

Hey Joe, good call on the landscape rake. I was about to mention that TSC has them for a decent price , but i see that you went that route already. One of my favorite most used implements that will be great for that project.

Maybe some wild flowers on the roadside hill💐🌸🌷🌹🌺🌼

My war is with wild parsnip - I've had chemical burns from that stuff at least 4 times. It is only supposed to burn after UV exposure, but it doesn't seem to matter how quick one is to wash it off. Maybe look into a sickle-bar mower for your pond edges - they have little ones that work on our B2601's now.
