The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

Hay Dude · Nov 2, 2023

Here are my weapons for grass and brush. Someone asked earlier in the thread what I use. I keep both Kombi shafts with me and run whichever one suits me.

The 131 runs strong, but still nice & light. Although after 8 hours, it starts getting tiresome.

Stihl 131 waiting for me to pick it up and finish off this swath of cat tails. I hate cutting them down. They are so cool.

What would it hurt to leave a strip of cat tails in that marshy spot? Seems like it would be good to mark it off as a marshy/boggy place. I know you are doing what they direct you to do.

It wouldn’t hurt at all. I think they look nice in the canal, but it’s not really my call.

I got a 131 a while back. I decided to save the money and not get a Kombi, figured I would never need anything but the tri-blade. I kick myself for that now. I would like to be able to add a pole saw.

They are really nice. Guy has one used on FB. Says one year old. Looks great no attachments $300.
They are $479 now With NO attachments!

I’m thinking about buying it.

Along with a lot of brush clearing & field mowing, bale loading & trucking is now in the forefront. Time to finally truck these blocks in and get some $$ for them.

getting bales from stacks.
