Bat Wing Mower For Free! Rusty and Crusty Iron Rescue PART 1! GETTING IT HOME!

What happens here

Upon arrival at his father's property, Josh unloads the John Deere tractor from the gooseneck trailer. His father then uses a front-end loader attached to a Massey Ferguson 383 tractor to lift the tongue of the Batwing Bushhog. This allows Josh to attach the bush hog to his John Deere tractor. The Batwing Bushhog is noted as being old, rusty, and in need of restoration, but desirable due to its hydraulic pump blades, allowing it to be run by a lower horsepower tractor.

Goal: Attach the Batwing Bushhog to the John Deere tractor
