You Were Right About Electric Tractors! No way it can do this!

What happens here

The final major task involves mowing a large section of pasture with a TYM TX1104 diesel tractor and a Woods Batwing Mower. Enter the enclosed cab of the diesel tractor, start the engine, and engage the mower's power take-off (PTO). Drive the tractor in overlapping passes across the pasture, allowing the batwing mower to cut and spread the grass clippings evenly. This process supports the 'green manure' principle, returning nutrients to the soil and suppressing weeds, which is particularly beneficial for areas with acidic soil or undesirable forage species.

Goal: Mow pasture areas to improve soil health and manage forage.
