Brush Hog mods

I'm just mowing brush for fire prevention. It's not a lawn, it's not a scientific task. Just needs the brush gone and preferably in a way that takes longer to grow back.

This was done in 2017 and this brush was growing since the last wildfire we had in the area, back in 2009.

Came out pretty well for the first job with this setup:

Chain mulcher is actually a more accurate name for it. You'll actually find more results searching by that name.

Here is a video if you're interested. Just to show how it behaves and mulches the material. This is an old video and it was the first time I used this tractor and cutter, so I was going slow. Also, on a land I had no previous knowledge and was on a hunt for the limits.
Found those two big rocks pretty quickly by the sounds of it. Sure would have been damaging to a set of blades.

That's the big advantage of chains. It will hit rocks, let you know there is a rock there and keep going. I keep my hand on the 3 pt lever most of the time, if I know there are rocks in the ground, so I can lift it quickly.

Just did another small field the other day. It was nice to be able to cut in 2nd gear, medium range and pretty much just going around. More often than not, it's a low range job due to how rough the land is or because of all the hidden objects in the middle of the brush.
