Rough on the hips and joints when one's on rough ground as well. Plus the twisting and turning to look over the shoulders to check on the bush hog, tractor and progress.
Sure does look good when it's finished though!!

Tried to get a little bit done today and almost hit a fawn on my 3rd pass. Called it a day, figured it can wait a few weeks till they’re a little more agile.

Cabbed tractor with AC is one of the best additions a man can have! Let the AC go out and you will be blowing a phone up trying to get it going again. We replaced the clutch last year on a 5420 and when it was broke apart the Freon came out. We didnt know this at the time of repair! FIL called an AC man and he came and recharged the unit and it was good to go this year. The PTO clutch was another issue, but we have it going now.

A cab with a broke ac is the worst...I've spent several hours disking in August with one while waiting on parts...

Add to the AC the lack of dust you inhale and a more comfortable seat and bushhogging becomes fun.

Yellow jackets love to attack when hush hogging.

Yellow jackets love to attack when hush hogging. I was just fixing to say this. They got me before. I had an old '52 Ford 8N and when I was bush hogin my pastures, I learned after they got me good. I learned to watch the last strip I had cut, very carefully. They would be swarming the ground and I'd cut another area until dark. I have bailed ship and go back an hour later and those demons would still be stinging on the tractor. Gas in the hole after dark did it every time. Let me tell you an old Ford will not outrun hornets...lol ouch! Got a nicer Kubota now and it will go a lot faster...lol

I wouldn’t even do Tractor work anymore after having a cabbed tractor with radio and AC. I turn the tunes on High, the AC on blast and let the world pass me me by. I need to do about 2 days worth of bushhoggin at the farm, but at this point I’m just letting it go until plot planting rolls around.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
