Homestead DIY: Finding Hidden Treasures When Flail Mowing Land

Clearing raw property acreage with a compact tractor flail mower attachment to uncover hidden homestead logs and land management secrets while maintaining a power line utility easement. On today's homestead journey, we are putting the Del Morino Funny Top flail mower to work on the TYM T474 tractor to clear back heavy overgrowth and maintain the utility power line easement at the front of the property. Land clearing always comes with surprises, and today we're finding hidden treasures—including a massive post oak log that we need to rescue for the Hud-Son sawmill base! Using the light-duty grapple to move heavy brush and logs out of the way, we dive deep into the thickest weeds until a sudden hidden obstacle brings the mowing to a dead stop. Watch as we troubleshoot a sheared bolt, hunt down a missing hammer blade, and discuss the critical importance of tractor counterweights, liquid tire ballast, and wheel weights when handling heavy log hauling on a sloped homestead.
