there we go we get our deck level and then we drop awesome it's getting busy mowing [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign Guys these are some of the saplings that we're cutting here that's some of the debris that I had to push out with the skid loader the other day and these are some of the saplings also they're not too a bunch of them in this area and then a bunch up through there it's a pretty large field all right guys thanks so much for watching the channel today this little field like I said is around four acres it's something I've needed to address for quite some time but I had to wait until the ground froze in order to get out on this field with this big heavy tractor when you've got a big heavy piece of equipment like this and I'd say the tractor with the mowing deck probably weighs over 14 000 12 to 14 000 pounds we want to be very careful to not damage the land and cut ruts in the land so that's what the delay is this year you'll see a lot of broom sedge or broom straw in this pasture and you'll see a lot of little saplings go down that's just part of it if you don't maintain and or put fertilizer on a field around here it goes to the woods basically the woods will try to take the pasture back you guys are seeing a lot of broom straw or broom sedge here because we live in tobacco country and the tobacco country has been over farmed really has been over farmed there's just no topsoil here and therefore the noxious weeds and trees trying to grow and the broom's edge tries to grow in the pH of the soil around here is about four where it's been over farmed and all our topsoil is either in the Chesapeake Bay or it's in the Cape Fear River Basin here in North Carolina we're cutting this a little bit high today you'll notice that we're not cutting it all the way down to the ground we want to make sure that we're just knocking the tops out of the weeds and brush here we're not going to cut it all the way down as smooth as a golf course this Wood's battling mower will cut really short and it'll cut almost as good as a zero turn the fit and finish of this mower is absolutely fantastic it does a great job we're going to sharpen the blades on this and we'll show you guys the Quick Change blade system that Woods has it's a very cool setup very cool system that'll be a future video I'll show you how this thing works
