Mowing Thick, tall grass on the impossible Site - This Is oddly satisfying.Steep slope with washouts
What happens here
The clearing continues with the Ventrac 4500Z, tackling more of the dense, tall brush on the steep hillside. The machine effectively cuts through the vegetation, but after approximately 10 minutes of operation, a drive belt on the flail mower snaps due to the heavy workload and potential impact with hidden obstacles. The operator inspects the damage, noting the belt is 'totally out' and 'frayed', rendering the flail mower inoperable.
Goal: Continue clearing dense brush until equipment failure occurs and diagnose the problem.
