‼️‼️I say that you don’t have much to worry about because the mower noise would chase it off‼️‼️

I’m Australian and people from overseas are terrified of the animals that we have in this country. And I agree that some can be scary. But we do not have any animal that can stalk and kill you like a cougar, or a bear, or a mountain lion. The snakes and spiders don’t hunt us down to kill us, and are mainly timid and shy and more afraid of us, except perhaps a grumpy bull shark. I certainly feel,safer in our bush than I would in yours 😂

Cougars are mountain lions, but it's understandable. A lot of Americans like me get their "animal info" from the old documentaries of Steve Irwin.

Exactly! Might be a contentious comment but while I consider 'most' firearms to be owned by people that use them purely for stoking their egos, there ARE a heck of a lot of folks who NEED them for actual protection. It's also while I consider SAFE firearm handling should be taught in schools - those being taught may never need the training, but it should cut down on some of the accidental shootings because people handle them un-safely.

I agree. Animals won't stay with all that noise. Live in Central Oregon High Desert with coyotes, cougar, racoons, deer and elk to name a few. Other than nibbling in our plants, we've never had a problem with wild life. Our trouble is with neighbor feral cats!

I enjoy when you get chatty. I have had black bears in my area and I know there's skunk around here somewhere 😅. The tall grass can be exciting because you don't know what 's hidden.

That's why I miss my 1969 Plymouth valiant. Never had problems. Everything is electric anymore. Love your videos. Be safe

I'm glad you did a lot of talking. I did not know you were from the Pacific Northwest.

I appreciate the speed at which you video your work. You had a lot to contend with, and you handled it very well, and I love the solution of using your ram to get out of a tight spot! Well done!

You did awesome with that over grown yard always awesome and thanks for sharing 👍.

Brother that’s some hard work. I live in Oklahoma where I deal with copper heads every time I mow. About 3 times a week in summer so I understand about being prepared for animals you might encounter. It’s scary sometimes but as long as we can adapt and learn we will be safe and thrive 👍

Thanks for taking us along. I live in Twisp, Washington, so I totally understand about living frontier rual. We often catch cougars on our trail cameras set up around our property. The closest we've come to actually meeting face to face was when one crossed my tracks after a rain storm. I walked over from our small cabin to where my husband was working on his big shop building. When we walked back about 10 minutes later, there were cougar tracks beside mine. But those are things you learn to expect when you move into their territory. Mostly the wildlife will avoid people if you respect their domain. (P.S. - All our pets are indoors unless we're out with them.)

What a Monday. Truck problems, tire problems, mower problems, wildlife problems. I bet you were glad to call it a day. 😅

Don't want your equipment hurt, but don't want animals hurt either. I realize that's not easy! Thanks

Coyotes and mountain lions ... now that's something they don't tell you about in the brochure! Also, thanks for reminding us lawn groupies how often you have to reposition the camera. Another great job, by a consummate professional. Txs for sharing.

I can’t believe how green and lush this yard is. I live in Southern California (with 292 days a year of sun) and I rarely see yards like this simply because of the water needed to maintain it. Here we have to deal with “brush clearance” rules in the summer because of our volatile fire season come Autumn. If you don’t clear it, the City will and send you the bill.

A cougar and a mountain lion or panther or puma are the same thing. It's strange how calming these videos are.

@the_once-and-future_king.

Жыл бұрын

Actually there is no such thing as a 'panther'. Panther is a genus, not a species. So you get panthera Leo (lion), panthera Tigris (tiger), etc. So, for example, a 'black panther' is just a leopard (or jaguar) with genetic hyperpigmentation. Cougars/pumas/mountain 'lions' and cheetahs are actually closer to house cats than they are to big cats.

Great video and thanks for the captions!!!

I feel this. We have been having an unprecedented amount of rain here in northern Wyoming, and I have been unable to mow for months. Field is about four feet high, and the other day I ran across bear scat. They've already had to euthanize two bears in the last month within a couple miles of my place, so we're always on alert. We also have mountain lions that have been seen in the area. I don't go out of the house unarmed, and nobody blinks when folks here mow or garden with a gun on their hip!😆

Great job as always Fill. God bless you and your family.

We love everything we do. Great job

I've had days like that. It's good to see you still have your usual optimism.

Great job mowing that jungle. Praying for ya so that you have no cougar encounters. God Bless you Fill! Take care. 😊

Yikes, I thought you were going to disappear in that grass! I'm glad you didn't hit anything. Now it looks so much better. I wouldn't want to drive right up against tall grass. Who knows what could jump out! It looks really good. Risky but nice results.

Wow that's scary and to not be ready yikes. Great job. Thanks for sharing

DANG!!! You went WAAAY beyond the design specs on that mower from what I can see. I am amazed it EVER made it through that mess!! That is sickle bar kind of weeds. You really knocked it out there. Bet that was a LOOOONG day. Thanks for showing us all.

Great job. That grass was really tall & thick

Why am I watching this? Because it’s intensely satisfying for some reason that’s hard to explain. As a young boy I gave myself my own crewcuts. I would imagine I was mowing the lawn. Now I’m 68 and hide a weak bald spot, but I still love mowing!

Just found this 2nd channel: for all the camera moving and tripod shuffle, I subbed and liked! I don't comment much except 👍, so 👍

Just a tip for you: the main problem with the truck is the brand, they are notorious for lots of service issues..apparently they use a lot of car parts on their trucks, in other words, light duty parts for a truck.. good video, tough Monday! Keep up the good work my friend! 👍

First mistake shiny new equipment, used equipment and truck was my go to. Gotta say a tire patch kit from Nothern tool would be a good idea for air tires.

I did that for one summer,boy was it hot. Some places the grass wouldn’t grow for lack of rain. In some cases it was strictly lack of maintenance. ❤️ watching someone else do it. Be careful. 🐎🦁✌️

Enjoyed watching this video...wanted to see more🥺 oh well, I'll catch the next one😊

Please don't put too much weight on negative comments about your narration. That's what makes it personable & interesting, rather than just watching mowing ( 100s of videos like that😒)! I for one love what you're giving us! Good luck, and BE SAFE out there🐈

hey pardner, I would implore you to take a gander at some "Kavil" blades, when attempting tall stuff like that..they are pretty awesome... great video pardner, be safe... :)

My ma is 80 and disabled, I am 43 and disabled, our backyard is roughly to that level, but it is at least enclosed, the biggest thing (once we get the riding mower fixed) is ground wasps. Sometimes life gets in the way, it's not like we wanted it to get to this stage, but when the only people that will do it want $100/hr, well you do what you gotta do. Our HOA hates us, but it's our back yard and we have a 6' fence, they can bugger off. Thanks for taking care of those of us that are in the mud and can't always get things taken care of. Also, cougars are pretty laid back, don't act like prey and you are pretty much golden, if you take a look at trail cam footage when a human sees a cougar on the path, the cougar usually looks like when you catch your dog chewing up your shoes... The cougar wants to be *anywhere* other than in front of you.

The good Lord will provide, Fill. GOD doesn't give us anything we can not handle. Blessings to you. Keep up the good work.

Какое красивое и тихое место! Но работы здесь непочатый край, конечно. Берегите себя, Фил!

Good topics you are talking about, that people need to be aware of. That was a lot of tall stuff to knock down. You also inadvertently showed some how much you have to work at videoing while working, because of requirement "to be interesting". Good use of your truck to get unstuck

Praise the Lord his mercy endures forever✝️ Nothing you can't handle!

Great job Fill looking good.

Who knew I would spend about 12 minutes watching a guy mowing an overgrown area of grass and rough foliage. Interesting but not life changing. Impressed with the standup mower although I wouldn't be able to do a day's work standing up. I used to mow the rough on a golf course on a sit-down John Deere farm tractor with a big hydraulic mowing rig in tow. It was tricky because you had to gauge the outer perimeter of the mowing rig and also calculate the turning radius so you would have sufficient room to cut everything without ending up in the bush and having the impossible task of trying to reverse the rig. Near on impossible.

Very Satisfying to watch! ✌️❤️🥓

I was just thinking the same thing - if it is a baby cougar, the mother is not far behind. That's some tall bushes! Amazing equipment!

Great job. If you had or rented a flail mower you wouldn’t have had to go over each line 3 times. They are amazing equipment.

I wish I had a proper flail mower, I got the derpiest and probably dangerous flail mower/brush hog in the area and ppl love to take pictures of it. I took the rear dif off my old dead truck and hung some chains off it and pull it behind my go-kart for the really rough stuff and it works pretty decent, gets it down to where its managable with the mower. but when those chains go.....it gets sketchy quick.

Great job! Is that a 48” deck you are using?

Copper Creek has one of those mowers you are talking about-great along long stretches of roadways...I believe they are $40,000+

I got my wife a new JD tractor and rotary cutter one year for Mother's Day so she could cut stuff like that without tearing up the lawn mowers. Having the right equipment for the job makes life much better.

Feel free to send that cold front to Texas! 😅 100+ for weeks with humidity making it feel as high as 120... I would love 50s.

I’m the Maintenance Supervisor for my Town, we have miles of property just like this. We purchased an Altoz TRX 766 I Rough Cut Mower, it’s has a 1,000 cc Kawasaki motor, and its Tracked. I routinely cut in water 5” deep, that thing is a monster of a Mower.

Here's a tip from an old guy, save yourself a lot of clean-up by facing the chute the other way. What I mean is, you've got a lot of grass on the driveway that could have been prevented. Each pass, cross the road and cut the other side, then cross again. At least until one side is done, and that way you'll be further from the road for the larger side. I hope that makes sense. I realise it leave grass stacked against the fence, but I think that's easier to clean up than a gravel driveway. Cheers from Australia.

Good JOB Fill Keep UP Good Work

Small pieces of carpet can sometimes give enough traction to get unstuck. And if necessary a small jack can help get the carpet under the wheel.

You had quite workout I enjoyed your verbal content. Great job I'm sure your wife's friend was graceful for your work.

Probably even if there was a cougar lurking nearby, the noise from the mower would have frightened it into the woods. Still it was good that the neighbor warned you. That grass was certainly tall enough for a cougar or for anything else to be hiding and waiting, ready to pounce on any unsuspecting prey.

Wow...just WOW!!
