Adjust and Optimize Mowing

a lot of the farm channels really show you the machine going around in circles but don't really give you the feel of what it's really like to be inside this machine when you're riding a big tractor like this you oftentimes are you're hitting bumps you're making adjustments on the fly all the time i've got three hydraulic levers right over here to my side that i'll be adjusting here and there to make sure that my deck is absolutely level the way the flail mower works back there is that it glides along the ground on these steel strips okay so it just cruises right along the ground really does an awesome job a great finish it almost cuts it as good as a zero turn and it's cutting it on down to about three and a half inches it looks really really short but that's okay we've got rain coming rain in the forecast and with that rain in the forecast meaning it will uh go ahead and recover pretty quickly the pasture will you can see the other pastures from the drone footage uh that are right out beside us and they've recovered pretty well i mowed those last week all the way up until i got a flat tire on the tractor so we got to the end of a row right here i'll show you what we're gonna do out here that's the end of a row we're just gonna pop out the other side and you'll see a spot right there now i'm watching always that mower right there in that mirror but i watch right here and i'm gonna jump back in so you can see we got to the end of this row we're going to jump back in the flail mower is offset just enough to where i take my right tire and i ride right on the edge of where it was previously cut when we get up to this next turn you will see where i missed the spot now you can get super super ocd about missing spots as you round these turns but backing up and pulling forward with the tractor is a hugely time consuming thing to do so what we want to do is run around get it all mowed and then we'll make a couple swoops back through on the corners that way we're getting all the grass knocked down there's nothing worse than mowing all the grass and having like two sprigs sticking up and it drives you crazy another thing about this tym t1104 that most people don't have in their tractor this is the shift lever and on the ship lever there's a plus button and a minus button that controls your speed uh you've got two gears per gear in other words we're in medium two right now medium too low now when we get into a spot where the grass is a little more sparse or the…
