What happens here

The first practical step for fence installation is to mow the pasture. The presenter drives the red TYM T1104 tractor, pulling the orange Woods Batwing BW15.5 mower. He demonstrates operating the mower, which is 15.5 feet wide, to cut the tall grass. He adjusts the mower's cutting height using custom spacers on the hydraulic lift arms to prevent damage from hidden rocks in the pasture. He emphasizes the importance of a cab tractor for comfort and dust avoidance during such extensive mowing. He also points out the presence of broom sedge, indicating poor soil health, which he aims to improve.

Goal: Clear the pasture of tall grass and weeds to facilitate fence installation.
