Thank you. Great videos. I am new to this and recently purchased a used tractor / b.hog combo that is not aligned. After watching your videos I will now adjust. I would like to point out for your consideration at the end of Part 1, around 21 min, the 4" measurement for the blade height is being made with the tracking wheel in the "higher" position (when you are backing up it lifts the mower slightly as the wheel frame rotates 180 degrees). You must have driven the tractor backwards before you shot the video. If you drive the tractor forward, the wheel shaft housing will turn 180 degrees and and drop the deck somewhat (maybe 1"...which might put you right on the money for the 3" adjustment hole). I have a different brand (not as good), and see the the back of the deck raise about 2-3" going from forward to reverse (My guess it is designed like this so the back portion of the unit housing doesn't dig in when backing up without the 3 point being raised). I will break out the tape measure today and play! Thanks again.
congratulations! you're the winner! you were the first one to point this out. I was well aware of this. after the video was shot I debated to reshoot that part and explain why the wheel raises the rear about 1.5 inches when backing up. instead I left it like it was and thought it would be cool to see who takes notice first. that was you. I will be posting a video soon about this and why. again congratulations on a keen eye for details!
I am a 73 year old widow trying to learn how to do all this. Best and most clear video I have watched. No neighbors or anyone to help me. Wish I had learned this younger. Glad I found you. Thank you.
73 and still getting some tractor seat time? that is awesome! I hope I can do that much myself.
Thanks for these brush hog videos! I have watched a bunch of different ones that did not make things as clear as you just did. I just got my rotary cutter yesterday. After setting it up with your instructions here, it cuts awesome. TY!
thanks for the kind words. yes you are 100% correct there is no question about it once your cutter is set up correctly it really cuts nice and puts less consumption of horsepower on the tractor itself. just sit back and enjoy the ride!
Thank you very much Dave! I have been around tractors off and on all my life and now I'm going to have to start using one on property I purchased. your videos have saved me a tremendous amount of time. keep your videos coming!
glad to hear they are helping. they you for taking your time to watch my videos. it truly means a lot to me.
As a new property owner and first time tractor owner, excellent advice and video quality! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
always happy to help speed up the learning curve.
Great video done with every aspect covered except the adjustment of the top link.
Top link adjustment is covered in several other videos and is based on terrain.
Thank you for the most overlooked tips. Appriciate sharing. Dave knows how!
glad to help! its really inspiring when I read some of the comments and emails about this series and others. I have had guys who have been brush hogging for years tell me they tried my method just for laughs and they could not believe how much better the tractor and mower handled the cut. " its like I had a brand new mower " if only people will watch these videos a follow them they will be amazed how much difference it makes. just having a solid starting point to adjust from is priceless. I know these things really helped me so I just have to share it with others.
Who needs an owners manual when we have you. Good job. I'm learning more from you than I ever thought I would. Thanks again..
Cinder you can l yuo love
Your tire pressures sound spot on, even similar to what we run in our 100-135HP tractors 12-15 in the rears, and 30-35 in the front and we do hay and move lots of bales.
absolutely you are 100% correct! its sad that so many disregard the importance of tire pressure on these machines. additionally a lot of people watch this video and when they hear me start off talking about tire pressure they assume they thats all the video has to offer and they switch it off. they fail to watch the video in its entirety or watch part two. they actually miss out on a lot of really good information that tooks years of solid practice and research to compile. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. its helps to hear from other seasoned veterans in this field.
Thanks for doing these videos Dave. Very helpful stuff.
I'm just glad they have helped so many people. makes me feel good to give back to the youtube community that has shared so much with me.
Thank you so very much Dave for sharing and caring !!!! Interesting content and a great explanation of a lot of useful facts! Keep on fighting Dave! You are in my prayers!!! Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!
thank you Ray I was bound and determined to get a couple more videos out!
thats what my kubota dealer reconmmends
Thanks Dave for all you do. 9:15
always happy to share information.
Another FANTASTIC video Dave! My wife and I are the proud owners of a Kubota L2501. We are the first in our families with property and a tractor. Your detailed videos have really hit the spot getting me up to speed.
Now to look at plunging into a BH77 Backhoe ;)
Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much for the awesome kind words! I hope to make many more valuable videos for everyone to enjoy! thanks so much for taking your time to watch my videos. peace love and respect to you and your wife.
great video and great help. I'm a new tractor owner and your video made me aware of things I never knew to pay attention to! Thanks!
Robert Shiels so glad to hear that be sure and watch part 2 as it is packed with helpful tips of what to look for. Be sure to subscribe as I have plans to add a part 3 to this series as well.
really like the tip for measuring up to a point on the tractor to get the brush hog level. I'll be doing that for sure.
I was turned on to a better way of measuring check this video out here czcams.com/video/u_M_zEyWRSQ/video.html
Very well done. Was wondering how to square the front up and you covered it well!
it is important and can be done with the box blade as well as many other implements.
You have given us some nice ideas and I set up my rotary cutter in a similar way and use my cutter on one of my tractors all the time with the other one running the other implements.
thank you so much Sidney! I'm just thrilled to be able to share a few tricks and tips. be blessed my friend good hearing from you again!
Well done again! Thank for the tire tip.
thanks for watching
Thanks Dave it’s hard to find good info on bush hogs, you have a lot of detail informations, this helped with some things I was not sure about. Great video
awesome Mark be sure and check out part 2 of this series because there is a lot of very important information in that video and actually shows the mower in use and what to be on the look out for to get the best results.
Great video! Most folks never take the time to properly set up a bush hog. It's time well spent in the long run. I've seen pto shafts damaged because the top link was not properly adjusted. Bush hogs are hazardous! A neighbor allowed his grandson to ride on the fender while mowing and ended up running over him when the fender gave way . Thx. for sharing!
yes they can be very dangerous.
Watching again as a refresher, Dave
Houndsman One you sound like me I watch videos for refreshers myself. It helps. Hope your summer is going well. My computer crashed so I have not been able to get on much. Hope to have it back repaired soon.
This video should have a lot more likes! Great job and very helpful.
thanks for the kind words. hopefully it helps the few people that do watch it. part two is actually pretty good as well.
Just purchased a tractor and found your channel. Thanks for explaining the bush hog setup . . .
so happy you found my channel helpful. I'm sure you will find some valuable information in many of these videos. be sure to check out some of the many other wonderful tractor channels on youtube as well. if I can help you with anything please let me know I will do my best.
Thanks Dave. Very helpful.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching.
Can you use the same leveling/measuring for setting up your box blade?
yes Jim Bohley you can use the same measuring technique. you may find my video on setting up the boxblade very interesting as well.
Great video Dave!!
Love2boat92 thanks brother hope you are doing well
Got my first tractor massey 1735m. Same brushbull.
I'm as green as they get with the tractor and implement world. Thanks for video. If up In michigan come do a video thanks
thanks a bunch for the kind words! I'm sure you will find many videos packed with tricks and tips on my channel to help you get set up for success with your new tractor. I'm truly excited for you because when ever someone tells me they got their first tractor or a new tractor it brings all those feeling I had back. feelings of joy and excitement and a thirst to learn all I can. I wish someone had written a book or made a video I could have used back in the day! if I'm ever up that way I will surely jet you an email and if its suitable I will sure drop by as it would make a great video.
Thanks Dave. Very good tips and knowledge. I'll use this info for my next check. On my way to part 2. I during the cold months, I did less with the 1533 and in early spring took her out to do some gravel road repair. I noticed that I had a spongy ride. After a tire check, I was too low in the front and rear tires. So I gave her some air (after I made sure the valve stems were at 12'o'clock high since I have fluid in wheels). She then rode like she always did. Thanks for all the knowledgeable tips.
Another good video and instructions, Thanks Dave.
I need to do a lot of checking on my tractor and found out I need a brushhog that fits my quick hitch.
I bought the brush hog used with my tractor 20 plus years ago and never used it till this summer. The top link is about 8" to tall for my quick hitch. Now I have need of one, maybe next year.
My tractor rear hitch area has never been as clean as yours in 20 years . Looks like you have a new tractor or just cleaned and painted yours :-)
vic
Well done. Thank you
Thank you David for taking your time to watch and comment! I truly appreciate it!
Thank you Dave!
thank you for stopping by!
Great job
thank you
Thanks very much Dave. This might be a strange thing to say but I noticed the very conspicuous absence of filler words most of us use such as Like, um and but. Like I say, it's a rediculous observation to make but your deliberate use of language without wasting words definitely makes your videos stand out from others I have seen. Just wanted to give a little unconventional positive feedback on something I genuinely appreciate in this day in age.
lol its no easy to avoid those words ha ha thanks for noticing. it don't always work out for me. lol
I didn't think anyone actually read these comments! Thank you also for the instruction. I think I finally have a dry day tomorrow to mow the rest of the property. With a properly set up implement for once! Be well and thanks again for the content.
@@numbasixx I'm always happy to help please let me know if you have any other questions I will do my best to answer if I can.
I took the steel straps on the top link on my bushog cut about 2 feet of the strap and used 3/8 chain it makes it articulate much better on rough ground.
yes the old style hogs with the flimsy straps do better to replace the strap with chain. in fact I did that on my finish mower to make it quick hitch ready. you can see it here. czcams.com/video/L8ZHfhS__bU/video.html
Thanks so much just the information I needed I'll give you a thumbs-up and subscribe and now for part 2.
awesome!
Your video is awesome
thank you, every once in a while I make a decent one. lol I get lucky! lol
Good on the tyre presures, too much air gives less traction but also increases wear dramatically as the wieght of the tractor is only spread on the 2/3 ish crown.
so very true. tire pressure is important and most over looked. the other things I talked about are vital to getting the best performance from the hog. all good stuff to know for sure.
the edges of my brush hog keep digging into the ground when I make a turn. I have tried leveling the deck but it keeps doing it. is there a standard deck height I should have it set at before I make my measurements? Thanks.
the rear tail wheel is the starting point for cut height. your owners manual will show which hole is for xx cut height. then set the three point so the end opposite the tail wheel is with in 1 inch of being level. in regards to your question its very typical of rotary mowers with 1 single tail wheel to scrape the ground with the side skid plates when turning typically when one wheel of the tractor contacts a low spot during that turn. I have a place in my yard where this happens all the time if I turn there. it will happen less if the end closest to the pto of the tractor is 1 inch higher than level as opposed to 1 inch lower than level. hope that makes sense. also typically rotary mowers / brush hogs cut best when set to cut high. finish mowers that are of the 4 wheel variety can be set to cut much lower down to 1 inch high. I typically set my brush hog to cut at 3 or 4 inches high or higher. this gives the best cut and keep the skids well off the ground so scalping is not an issue. hope this helps.
Hey Dave what about a sweet 20lbs of pressure would that be ok too?
absolutely! every tractor is a little different. most important is the rear both match and the front both match. I know some guys who run 10 psi I'm scared mine would come off the rim that low. I recently added tire ballast with some windshield washer fluid so I'm having to run a little higher pressure for the time being until the tire gets seated good to insure no seepage around the rim. thanks for the comment, really appreciate you dropping by and watching my videos like you do. it does help me a lot more than you know.
Dave, how satisfied are you with the Woods bush hog? I am looking to get a new one. My main purpose will be grass/pasture. I am looking for an excellent quality, heavy gauge mower that will last.
man this thing is the Rolls-Royce of brush hogs. not only is it tough enough to cut some serious brush down this thing also is used to cut my lawn and it does darn near as good a job as my finish mower. in fact it does just as good a job as my finish mower. especially once its set up correctly. this thing is smoooooth running as well. you just cant get better than a woods brush hog. this model is not the most extreme model either. its the brushbull BB60. I'm so glad I went with this woods mower of course before this I had a woods 72 brush hog and it was a beast as well. problem was fitting it between trees the 60 inch is a better fit for going through the woods around trees. for field mowing a 72 may be a better fit for you.
Tyre max pressure is somewhat calculated from a few variations, the main variants being what load you have on them, how far you are travelling with this load, what speed your going, what type of ground you’re driving on eg. soft dirt to concrete and temperature of the climate you’re working in . The main aim is to keep your from not getting hot.
You can run tyres over the max if you calculate these factors into account. I
It’s better to have too much air than not enough because the more air you have means the more volume of air you have and that volume or pressure will keep the Tyre cooler
great information thanks for sharing.
Looks like Kubota went away from the gear box adjustment on the lift arm. Those were handy to adjust from the seat...
I know what you mean. you can still buy those as an add on. I was gonna get one and then went hydraulic. I love this hydraulic set up.
Just when I was thinking, how am I going to figure this out, Dave to the rescue!!! Thanks!
so happy it helped you out. there is little greater reward than to help others. your comment truly brought a smile to my face thank you very much.
What model tractor do you have and how does it handle the 5ft bushhog
L2800 it says in the manual it can handle 6 foot. In fact I use to run a 6ft woods with it. I sold the 6ft and bought this new 5ft woods. I like it better for narrow trails and getting between trees. It handles the 5ft brushbull just fine. I think there are videos of it mowing on the channel under videos. May have to scroll down or search.
dave, how you like the Woods bb60 with your compact Kubota?
man I love this thing I had a woods 72 inch and it worked great I hogged some nasty stuff with the 72 inch behind this tractor however I wanted a narrower 60 inch for hogging trails and between trees and shrubs where the 72 inch would not fit. the cut time is about the same because the 72 required a slower travel speed and the 60 is a faster travel speed so the time to cut per acre is about the same. of course that is also based on material I'm cutting as well. some fields I can cut 1 acre in 30 minutes others may take over an hour. I have zero regret down sizing to the 60 in I did miss the slip clutch shield that the 72 inch had so I built my own. there is a video series on the build that may interest you.
daveknowshow Im looking at buying the 60inch cut. Thank you the info.
Sir what model & type of tires on your tractor. Thanks
these are the industrial tire tread. they are very popular
How do I hook one up easily. I have a pin I have to hold down in order to hook it up.
a pin? I assume you are referring to the retaining pin on the pto shaft? if so clean it good and it will get easier to do the more you do it. see my video on pto shaft maintenance. its a series of videos showing how I clean and keep my pto in smooth easy operating condition.
Would the rear tire pressure of 15 psi still be recommended with loaded tires or would that make a difference?
same tire pressure whether loaded or not as far as I can tell.
@@daveknowshow
Thank you. I am getting a REAL rough ride on my JD 3039r. Pressure reading is 20 psi,was thinking of lowering it to 15 but I had fluid in my tires. I was wondering if that affected the pressure or not.
@@bradbruggeman6745 fluid in tires makes a rough ride by design. its hard to over come that. make sure your seat suspension is working correctly. mine was not working right and I had to really go to work on it to get it working proper.
czcams.com/video/UMGe2cEtpGY/video.html
@@daveknowshow Didn't know there was a suspension? Pretty rigged,solid axles,no shocks. Not sure I understand what I could do to improve the ride? Already have a suspension seat.
@@daveknowshow
Seat suspension is working. Only got 60 hrs on the tractor. Maybe it's the nature of a compact tractor? I was raised on a farm with 50 - 90 hp tractors with calcium chloride in the tires but never experienced this. Heck spent many hours as a kid on a 1956 A.C. wd45 that never rode this rough.
We haven't heard from you in 4 months. What is going on with you? How did the operation go?
I made a few videos since then. I'm doing ok. I cancelled my surgery due to an illness. they want me to reschedule it asap but I been putting it off. just to tired and wore out to deal with more surgery plus I'm in rehab from a car accident I had back in sept / oct 2017. some days I feel like I'm to sick to die. lol ha ha maybe by spring I can have this surgery done. my doctors are not happy with me for cancelling and on me about it every time I go in there which is a lot. appreciate you asking. hoping to make a few more videos soon.
DAVE KNOWS HOW...(cue the sound effects)
he he lol
I swear it's the simplicity that makes it pretty darn good. Not too much, not too little, but just right.
this youtube has been good therapy for me. sharing and helping others has always brought me a lot of joy.
also I didn't want a long intro for people to have to sit through like a lot of video channels. I also cant stand videos that have 5 or 10 advertisements in each video. I try to limit the ads in mine to one per video. I never had a clear direction for this youtube channel it just sort of happened. the name was simply my email address I have had since nearly day one of joining the internet. the original email address was Daveknowshow2 I lost the email password and so the new one became simply Daveknowshow@aol.com that has been my email address for as long as I can remember. before youtube even existed. just a little trivia for ya. hope you are having a great week!
Sometimes you need to offset the bush hog to one side when it is narrower than the wheelbase to cover the wheel you decide on, that way only 1 wheel is folding over grass/weeds before the cutter gets to it. (other than your first cut) Square to the tractor axle in this case is imposible and not necesary as the important part of the hog is the cutting circle made by the blades not the front end of the hog as this does nothing
you wont likely offset that far with out the lower lift arm getting into the tire if you are running anything other than narrow ag tires. however if you need to offset it you can still level the unit side to side which was the purpose of squaring it by following this video here.
czcams.com/video/u_M_zEyWRSQ/video.html
@@daveknowshow I agree that the side to side should always be level almost with all implements but square as i said is not necesary as the main part of the hog is the blade cutting circle that never changes, sqewed to one side or not, on my JD its imposible to offset the lift arms far enough to reach the tires, it could be a problem on narrow tracters though.
yes like I said the main purpose of squaring was in order for the measurement to come out correctly when leveling if you measure off the fender like I did in this video down to the three point pin. if you measure like I show in the other video you don't need to square it to get a level measurement. hope I explained that correctly. but yes you are correct it does not have to be square to cut correctly that was just for measuring off the fender if its not square the measurement will not work out correctly.
What kind of tractor has a "passenger side" and a "drivers side"?
How to set up bushhog
yes it is! make sure and watch part 2
22 mins of check tire pressure. Start at 25
you'd be surprised how many times uneven tire pressure is the big issue when setting up any style of mower on a tractor. so yes tire pressure is the very foundation of setting up and implement to perform as it should. I may NOT have stressed that enough.
@@daveknowshow yeah i dont deny, but also running soft is not good advice, might suit you, but a newbie might take the advice, kick out a bead, or get unstable, warn of that
@@daleval2182 well I dont think running just shy of the rated tire pressure is running soft to that point. the stressing of tire pressure is if anything a important measure to insure you are not running to soft on one or more of the four points of contact. I cant and wont spend 30 minutes in every video warning people of safety concerns when operating a machine like this or any machine. then I'd have people complaining about 30 minutes of safety posting comments saying start at ??? minutes to skip all that. just like you did.
I SUB
thank you!
Lord have mercy. You are doing the right thing but doing it the hard way. Find a level spot of ground pavement or cement and set you lift arms level with whatever implement. A box blade works good, then leave that adjustment alone for most all implements. If you need to move it at some point later then just reveled again. No need to do all that measuring each time.
that will only work if the place you're on is actually level the complete span of the tractor and implement. which is rare for most folks to have such a spot. as I pointed out we are leveling with the tractor " NOT mother earth " . this way the implement is level parallel to where your tractor is sitting. once its set you can leave it as you stated until you have to tilt an implement such as a road blade, box blade or bottom plow etc etc. there is NOTHING any harder about measuring off the tractor as opposed to measuring off the ground except when measuring off the ground that ground must be level. additionally using my method when setting up a box blade allows you to set the " NEUTRAL POSITION " see my video series on setting up a box blade to better understand the neutral position of a box blade. its not rocket science but it is a much more accurate way to set up and fully understand the principles of what is taking place. I hope you will watch part 2 of this series as it shares many other details about setting up the brush hog. thank you for watching and thanks for the thoughtful comment.
I don't think that is rare. I have been operated and owned numerous tractors in various places for well over 40 years and not been able to find a place to get a bush hog level. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can even do it in the field, only takes a minute or so. It is important to get it set right though, not down playing that at all.
I still fail to see how you can claim its so much harder to measure off the tractor to gain level to the tractor and square to the tractor then to locate a flat spot in a field and then measure off the ground. your spot you measure from on the tractor is always the same no matter what terrain you're parked on. not so measuring off the ground. I also have been doing this a long time and I find I gain more consistent results measuring from a point on the tractor that never changes as opposed to measuring off the ground. the point of this video is that being square to the tractor and level with the tractor gives a more accurate result more consistently on any terrain whether that terrain is level or not. in part two we go over what to look for when we make our cut and how level from the rear to the front of the mower comes into play and its resulting impact when mowing or brush hogging. if measuring off the ground or simply by eye suits you due to your years of experience then by all means do so. these videos are for people who have no clue what they are doing. this method is a way to fundamentally explain the importance of the set up and how to achieve it when you lack 40 years of experience and are unable to see level " good enough " by eye. 99% of old timers simply never level more than eye balling and could careless about the over all cut results or even how set up effects the cut. this video is NOT for them. unless of course they want to look at it with an open mind and learn a new way. its not that difficult to set it up and after the initial set up 99% of the time your done and it needs very little adjusting from side to side when mowing. thanks for sharing
All I am saying is most people should not have a problem finding a level spot to park the entire machine on to set up and doing that and measuring to the ground then is much faster. Tail wheel needs to be turned to the rear when doing so and hopefully you cover that in part 2. Another thing is the first part about squaring the mower to the tractor. All that measuring is not required to do that either. Why not just look at the threads in the check chains to make sure they are the same and that the PTO shaft is coming straight back? If you have bars just put them each in same hole and you are square. I am the biggest freak about having a cutter setup right for the best cut of anyone I have known. Your method works but you do not have to go to the lengths you go to to accomplish the same thing much faster.
I certainly appreciate your insight on this subject. I have leveled the brush hog many different ways over the years and I have found that this method renders the most accurate results consistently time and time again. you are correct there are other measuring points on the tractor one could use. most people will come to develope their own system of measuring to level. the purpose of this video is to explain the fundamentals of what we are trying to achieve which is square to the tractor axle, level side to side and level within one inch front to rear with proper tire inflation. eyeballing a straight PTO shaft is fine for a seasoned veteran. not so easy for a beginner. some tractors do have slotted adjustments for side to side swing yes but measuring with a tape measure will always reveal when things are not exactly right. I find it takes no longer to measure from these described points than it does to measure from any other point and the accuracy does exceed simply eyeballing level when a beginner is trying to learn. this video is meant to be a solid foundation that when executed as described renders a nearly perfect result for anyone who attempts it. I think you should give it a try. adjust it my way and then check level yourway and I will bet you will see at least an inch or more variance when done out in the field. slightly less on concrete. a field is never level from one side skid plate on the hog compared to the other. often times one skid plate is over a hole in the ground or a high spot or bent. concrete can sometimes be accurate but not always paved roads are crowned and rarely accurate. I have seen so many videos online where the instruction is to use a bubble level to level a brush hog and that is likely the most inaccurate way to truly level any implement when attached to a tractor in the real world. on youtube there are thousands of highly educated seasoned veterans in all aspects of any subject matter waiting to dispute a video's claims. for this reason I'm extremely cautious to only upload content I'm completely 100% positive will convey a method to render the best possible result consistently for anyone who follows the instructions. all done in a way that is idiot proof. however I must still be readily available to help those who still do not understand the method its reasoning and accuracy. its not easy making these types of instructional videos. there are hundreds of videos instructing people to find a level spot and measure up to the skid plate on each side of the tractor. this rarely renders the best results compared to leveling from a point on the tractor in my honest opinion. I personally can stand behind the hog and look at it and see when its pretty close to level accurately. not everyone can do that. I have many woman on my channel who have zero experience with things like this which makes my method a better solution for them. I have truly enjoyed our discussion on this subject. I may in the future bounce ideas off you for future videos. its not easy making these videos and the pay sucks! lol
.
Doesn't your barn have a patio a concrete slab in front of the barn where you hold your wine and cheese tasting parties like we do that's where I level my brush hog my patio on my barn the floor is perfectly level so I do not have to do all of the things that you are doing with a tape measure there I just have to measure from my patio floor on my barn and make sure everything is level before I take my brush hog out and mov the paddocks. Has your concrete person just not showed up yet or are you just in the process of building on your site I do not see how anyone could work under such horrible conditions has the looks of that property
sometimes a concrete slab will get you close but measuring from the tractor to level the implement with the tractor will render the best, most consistent results time after time even when applied in the worse conditions. its important to keep your implements square to the tractor and parallel to the rear axle. this helps the alignment from side to side as well as PTO shaft alignment. this method of measuring can be applied to many other implements such as the box blade, road blade, tiller and so on. some folks who have been doing this for years can simply "eyeball it" and get it close enough for them. this video is directed to folks who would like a new, more consistent protocol to ensure they are setting up and using their brush hog at its most efficient set up to render the best results. you may find part two of this series has some interesting visual tips to apply once you are out in the field. these are all things you may or may not already know. feel free to apply any parts of these video series as you see necessary. i really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video series on tractor related topics. thank you so much for this great comment. peace love and respect Dave
Why are you talking about your tires, though it is a key issue, shouldn't that information be contained in a separate video ?
Molo Tulo tire pressure is the base line for all of the rest of the set up to work correctly. It's A Critical component and is the starting point for everything that follows in this and the next video.. so no it should be included here at the very start. Trust me I get letters from lots of people stating even though they have been brush hogging most of their life these two videos have made their mower run like a brand new mower! With a noticable reduction in strain on the tractor. It likely would have been to my advantage to create more videos or put in more advertisements in this video but my agenda is more about helping folks learn the best methods and why than for me to make more money from advertisements. It does make the videos long but I try to include enough valuable information to make it well worth the time to watch it all.
daveknowshow I’ve been on a tractor my whole life and have never considered tire pressure in regards to setting up implements. Definitely makes sense now that I’ve watched your videos. Thank you SO much!!!👍🏻👍🏻
