    That pic is extremely strange. I can't tell what I'm looking at.

    The blade, it blends in with the bottom of the bush hog.

    Yes, there are 3 or 4 families around here farming that much. I can’t even fathom the logistics in keeping all that going. But I’m glad it’s families and not corporate farms.

    Look closely the backhoe has been swallowed by the swamp, you can see the cylinder.

    Thanks, I realized that the first time I saw the picture :D

    When I said “the backhoe is missing” that was me being sarcastic :thumbsup:

    What length do you cut at? 4.5-5” is what I have been doing.

    No customers this year so far. People think in my area 40-45.00 per acre is ludicrous.

    I’d say it’s about 5-6”, I try to keep my skids off the ground if possible since they aren’t that thick.

    To me $45 an acre is cheap!

    What year Classic GMC is that? I tried to buy a Classic 07 LBZ low mileage truck. Around here they were going for 36K+ at the time.

    How much edge do ya'll put on your brushhog blades? I haven't sharpened mine yet. On my finish mower I sharpen and then knock the edge down/blunt it slightly and it lasts much longer than a knife edge mowing my AR flint rocks.

    This is reasonable. Not sure why people flip out in my area.

    Most of the time, land owners just let the grass overgrow and never do fire mitigation.

    This is why we can't have nice things....

    Been seven years since the most destructive fire in Colorado history:

    I like to put about a 1/16” flat on my bush hog blades, that way it doesn’t leave the stumps sharp, it kinda shatters them. I’ve had to many flats due to small stumps.

    Thanks. I have a ton of sumac stalks after cutting. They end up being pretty sharp. I'm lucky I haven't had any flats yet.
