Big Tractor Time! Let's mow the back 40 with a unique mower!
What happens here
The farmer provides insight into the dynamic process of mowing, explaining that constant adjustments to hydraulic levers are necessary to keep the flail mower deck level while navigating uneven terrain. He praises the flail mower's design, which glides on steel strips, delivering a finish comparable to a zero-turn mower, cutting the vegetation down to about 3.5 inches. He also explains his strategy for handling missed spots and turns, noting it's more efficient to cover all ground first and then make sweep passes. He demonstrates the tractor's powershift capability, which allows for speed adjustments within gears using plus/minus buttons on the shift lever without engaging a clutch, greatly enhancing efficiency. He switches from medium-low gear to high gear to increase speed on sparser grass sections.
Goal: The farmer explains the real-time adjustments needed while mowing, including maintaining the flail mower's height and using the tractor's unique powershift features for efficient operation.
