Big Tractor Time! Let's mow the back 40 with a unique mower!

What happens here

The Stoney Ridge Farmer greets viewers and notes the hot weather. He explains the necessity of mowing the pasture, which is overgrown with dog fennel and other weeds, to encourage the growth of desirable grasses like fescue and clover for his cattle. He introduces his equipment: a red TYM T1104 110-horsepower tractor with a front-end loader and a red Maschio flail mower (model 210), highlighting that the mower is offset.

Goal: The farmer introduces the task of mowing a large field to manage weeds and promote good forage growth for cattle, and presents the tractor and flail mower to be used.

Tools and materials

  • Maschio Giraffa Flail Mower (Model 210)
  • TYM T1104 Tractor
