He discusses tire spacing, wanting front-end weights for stability, and compares the tractor's mowing performance to a skid steer brush cutter. Useful for buyers weighing how a tractor-mounted brush mower handles steep, tall, overgrown terrain in practice.
Posted by the Skid-Co channel, apparently run by a working operator sharing unscripted, hands-on mowing jobs rather than marketing content.
The operator backs up the hillside instead of going forward, reasoning that going straight down while backing up means double-cutting anyway and avoids surprises like erosion or hidden ledges.
He says it mows the tall Johnson grass about as well as the brush cat, maybe a little better, though both require double passes on this terrain.
He wishes he had weights on the front because the tractor feels light in the front end on the hillside, and plans to add two or three suitcase weights.
