Overview
A real-world field project using a John Deere 3046R with a Rhino TS10 pull-behind brush mower to knock down a foot-tall hay field before a graduation party. Tim shares hands-on impressions of the 3046R/TS10 pairing, horsepower adequacy, mowing strategy around trees, hydrostatic advantages, chain curtain design, and how this approach compares to finish mowing large acreage. Most useful to owners weighing a brush mower for occasional large-field maintenance.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, sharing personal field experience rather than dealership or manufacturer content.
