Here's a tip, start doing farm cuts, you'll be more efficient
I’ll check it out
Can you feather the throttle on the electric weedeaters? Like if you're near windows and such?
I can’t say for all battery operated brands but for this unit, the answer is yes. What you see in the video is all the run time I’ve had with it so far. We cut our stations grass weekly so all the shifts will use it and have some run time with it over the next few weeks and be able to get further feedback on it.
@theturfjunkies4052 it looks pretty powerful! Same with the blower for the application y'all will be using it in
@@SkylineAcresVA I was actually impressed with the power. I didn’t have anything super thick to put it in to get a real test.
Yeah i got swamp ass Yesterday to, i could dampen and seal a thousand envelopes before id run outta Moisture.
Yea, we are down here in central Mississippi and the humidity can be brutal. I think the heat index for today is 115-117ish
Just an observation, this system is DEFinitely faster and way more efficient when you back up to the bigger cut ends of the piles, rather than the smaller brush stuff. It doesn't really just lay over the stuff, but more so feeds against it.
Just noticed one more tip I can share with you. When using either a shredder deck or flail mower in unknown territory, lower the loader bucket as low as you can without dragging it (like you’re trying to scoop the vegetation but not the dirt) and this will help avoid hitting stumps and other obstacles with the mower. I found an 1870’s survey marker buried in 7’ of grass and saplings that way. Happy to say no damage to my flail mower or the concrete marker either.
I tend to walk the area first to check for hazards but in the case of the unknown, then yes bucket low acts as a buffer.
@@theturfjunkies4052 when I started on this land it had been left untouched for thirty years or more (formerly clear cut for lumber and replanted by National Forestry Service with mixed hardwoods and loblolly pines). There was no way to walk the grasses it was so thick, now it’s prime whitetail area bordering a National Forest. I plan on clearing it for pasture land either for hay production or grazing. I’m just babysitting the hardwoods to maturity at the moment, it’s going to be at least five to eight more years before I clear it.
From my experience (I have 55 acres deep in the piney woods of Texas) the Bestco flail mowers tend to ship with the belts not tight enough from the factory and I would venture to say you hadn’t tightened them when this occurred. Also (I think two others pointed out this as well) the rear roller should be the only thing on the ground when in use, DO NOT CUT IN REVERSE, and adjust the skids as low (extended out from the mower) as low as they will go. This mower cuts thick underbrush, saplings, and grasses as high as 7’-8’ tall without an issue. However I haven’t found one yet to chew up old engine parts. It is a learning curve and it’s far easier than what I used 50 years ago (a hand swinging sickle). Good luck from a first time viewer, I’ll be sure to check out your other newer videos too just to see how things turned out. PS: keep at least two spare hammers and a set of belts with you along with spare pins and a few bolts for the hammers. Adjustable wrenches don’t cut it keep the right size wrenches too. I have actually broken a hammer (you will notice an immediate vibration when that happens) on what turned out to be a piece of petrified wood, not sure how it got where it was but rocks are also common to appear from thin air it seems. One other thing I keep handy when on the back side of my place is a “snake charmer”, I hate snakes (cottonmouth’s, copperheads, and rattle snakes meet the charmer, all others get a chance to go away) when they surprise me but I try and identify them before doing anything to them. I lost a great dog to a cottonmouth, I certainly have no love for that species. Stay safe!
I definitely have spare parts now and I’ve adjusted things for better performance. Thanks for watching. I just record some of my jobs and take y’all along for the ride. We do a variety of things.
Excuse me sir would it be easier and safer to put a chain around the base and pull it out
Nah
alex is jay but with a g😹😹
He really has an alternative character on a kids show called Blippi
Bro if you’re gonna sit there and play touchy feely with the bar n chain take the dang battery out. Have you not seen Maximum Overdrive???
Thank you for the safety concern. Notated. 👍
14:30 Captain Condor you didn’t show me cutting down that monster
Only enough time to show A level actors
We make that place look better each day😮💨
Nice ! Any tool or machine that helps you work smarter not harder is a plus ! I was hoping you'd show it going over the smaller(2"-3") stumps from the younger sprigs if , in fact , it would take them down Thanks for sharing ! Liked and Subbed ! 😇❤
Thanks. It can but not in large groups or diameters. The flail mower with hammer blades, unlike a mulcher w/ fixed teeth, has swinging blades that can easily break off if going into thicker stuff. I just try to show the viewers what it can do if someone was in the market to buying something similar.
@@theturfjunkies4052 just purchased the "offset" (agl 125 ditch bank mower) version in hopes that it could tackle the 2-3" stumps after watching several trractor attachment channels state that "it can do just as much as a brush hog" but after watching you burn up the two belts and say that you will cut those little saplings down with a chainsaw is making me a skeptic. I haven't attached it yet to see what it can do but I myself am pretty good at tearing stuff up and may have to go back to the trusty yet clunky brush hog. Thanks for not trying to sell me something that isn't true
@@quinnthomas9965 I do a lot of cleanups and needed some to help process material more efficiently. My goal with these videos is to show real life problems and how to tackle them with the equipment you might have. Remember they are not like big skidsteer mulchers and you have to be selective on what you chop up. It does take some time and patience but you will get the results you need if you take your time.
Captain condor!!! Let me hear your war cry!!!
Ka-kaw!
Captain Condor! Man, I work with Hollywood and Young Alex at Ridgeland. Gotta say this is absolutely PG rated for Hoolywood-isms 😆
Very PG rated episodes.
Long live captain condor!!!!!
Just get a speed feed head saves so much time
Actually just bought an echo 2620 with a speed free to try out and see if the crew likes it or not.
I love the echo trimmers and they start and run great I always loved still but cranking 6 times to get one started vs twice in the morning and once every yard after for the echo can't beat it
I'm not sure whose the moron, me or you!!!
Don’t forget your trauma shears
Bruh come on! Gotta have those in the box too!
Random vid pop up! But uhm , YEAH nice, and the pilot thing....AWWWWWsoooome! Best wishes and best of luck on your life young flying padwan.
I appreciate it very much!
The belts on my finish mower smoke when cutting thick grass. I’ve snapped a couple of belts but I guess it’s cheaper and easier to change a belt than to change a gearbox. Usually the grass, which can grow six or seven feet tall, needs two passes to cut. The issue is a mountain of cut grass clogs up the mower. I’d like to buy a flail mower to cut long grass. I hope it doesn’t clog up like a finish mower does.
If you get one get it with the Y blades. They are designed to cut grass rather than the hammer blades which perform better in woody material better. Keeping the roller in the lowest hole will open the discharge chute more. I won’t say it will clog up all the time but leaves a more even discharge of grass rather than it windrow up like a brush cutter. I just recorded a job going from woody material to tall grass and seeing the difference. Stay tuned for that video in the future.
Ground guy seems pretty pleasant but honestly whole time annoyed the crap out of me the way he keeps advising what to do. Let the guy in the lift do his thing unless it’s a danger to himself or unless he asks for advice lol. Good job on working your way through the tree
Trey aka “Hollywood” has worked with me for many years (13) he can see things that I may not see and I trust his judgment at times and that’s why we have a good working relationship.
A lot of hard work...dangerous...both of did great job....not sure if you were paid or was it free ? Subscribed.
It was an actual job. Thanks 🙏

Thanks. I’ll have some more videos of it in the future.
Great work. Yes, everyone loves a good, long flail mower vid.
Thanks. I’ll try to get better close ups next one.
so，how long does a battery last?
About 300 cuts, 30-40 mins moderate usage 20-25 mins for heavy cutting.
@@theturfjunkies4052 Thank you!
@@theturfjunkies4052 The manufacturers specifications for the Echo DCS 2500T is run time up to 18 minutes. The 2.5 amp battery does not last 30-40 minutes even with lightweight pruning.
For the occasionally user the battery powered saw might be a good choice for an option. Battery powered equipment has been skeptical to me but they have improved over the years.
I enjoy cutting trees and If you found this video very helpful, please like and share it. I tried to cover everything I could think of but I you have any useful tips leave them in the comments below .👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Spread the knowledge by helping people make safe cutting practices.
Good team
Thank you 😊
Whattup fellow tree bro!
That’s a cute kid you got there! 😉
You are so kind
czcams.com/video/iyd_RMuPQgs/video.htmlsi=jUbCy7j2DlFBzuwk this was the most viewed video from last year. If you haven’t seen it, check it out.
Sorry for your loss. Any regrets with the flail? About to hit the purchase button and debating the extra options cast vs. forge and all the extras. Interested in your opinion on the hammers and worth the extra charge.
Thank you. I got the cast blades and so far they have been holding up. I’ve put them through some tough stuff. I don’t have any regrets on my purchase.
Whenever you have new belts, stop and check the belt tension after about a half an hour of use. New belts stretch some.
I just wanted to say thank you all for the tips. I’ve done several jobs with it since then and got it dialed in. I’ll have a few more new videos of it coming soon so be sure to follow the channel by hitting the subscribe button. It really does help the channel out. See ya on the next job! 😊
Adjust top link to put roller on the ground and the skids slightly off the ground. Only lower mower until roller engages the ground
adjust your skids higher. go slowly. maintain a high speed on flail. adjust angle of attack so mower is level with ground. learning curve. carry spare belts. 😀
Thanks for the tips
Don’t mow in the dirt if you want to save your belts.
This will be a 5 part series on this job highlighting each days work. Stay tuned each week as each part is released. See ya soon!
That was awesome, perfect name too
