Abandoned Brushy Field gets first mow in years with Woods Batwing!

What happens here

Once in the field, the presenter uses the tractor's hydraulic controls to adjust the mower deck. He explains that both sides of the Batwing Mower fall via gravity, requiring relatively flat ground to drop evenly. He maneuvers slightly to achieve an even drop. He then engages the PTO, which powers the mower blades, initiating the mulching process. He explains they are cutting slightly high to simply knock the tops off weeds and brush rather than cutting it down to a golf course smooth finish.

Goal: Upon reaching the field, the mower deck is adjusted to an appropriate height for mulching, and the Power Take-Off (PTO) is engaged to activate the blades.

all right drop the deck these are the levers we used to drop the deck that falls via gravity and so does the other one in other words you have to be on flat ground for them both to fall at the same time we're gonna have to do a little movement here we'll forward just a little bit shuttle shift get dropped now that might seem a little bit odd to you but it's less taxing on the hydraulic system there we go we get our deck level and then we drop awesome it's getting busy mowing
