Assessing the Overgrown Area

whoa ain't afraid of word I ain't afraid of please ain't afraid to get a job done and we ain't afraid alive times like this mess of my freedom my teeth as well as you can see okay so for those of you have been living under a rock and you're not subscribed to Stoney Ridge farm channel now's your chance go ahead and pound that like button jump in subscribe to the channel we're going to talk about the honey badger and a honey badger is our ventrac tractor this tractor is at twenty four point eight horsepower has a Kubota diesel engine on it the tractor itself is engineered and manufactured in the USA in Orrville Ohio we've been up there to the factory we've toured the factory we had a one-year lease on this machine and we decided to go on and buy it after our one-year lease is up because once you have a ventrac you can't do without it you really can't do without it so with our multiple ponds on the property and multiple areas that are really really steep that thing is a beast for mowing it's good for mowing pastures we mowed 85 acres of pastures last year with it we mowed everything on the whole farm this is the most used tractor on the farm this is probably the most indispensable tractor on the farm to so with those eight tires we can get into really steep spots and with the front mowed deck we can actually hang the deck off over an embankment and go and mow down the edges of embankments that we can't drive on I have yet to find a bank that I can't drive up and down or sideways on so it'll mow like sideways like this up to 30 to 45 degrees that's steep 30 45 30 degrees don't go 45 you might roll over so if it will hold it it will mow it that's really the take-home message this thing is probably the dirtiest ventrac in the country too but I use it man we use it all the time so let's go over here we'll show you kind of what we have so we've got some saplings that are coming up in here we've got briars we've got multiply Row we've got all sorts of stump sprouts and you'll see that as we're mowing through here there is some debris this area now across the creek over there you can see it's already been mowed we use the Finnish mower for the ventrac for that so we have two mower attachments a rough cut or it's called the tough cut it's a six foot wide mower we have a Finnish mower which has a striper on it which we mow the yard with sometimes and we get down here in these bigger areas and we mow with it but that Finnish cut more can't handle this rough stuff so if…
