[AT] My MF135 at work

Here's a picture from last week looking towards the area where the video was
taken, no more tall grass and brush.

Subject: [AT] My MF135 at work

A few weeks ago, I was so happy to finally have my tractor un-stuck and
clearing brush, so I took some video.  You REALLY couldn't walk through some
of this terrain without a machete.  Also, the "grass" was so tall, that I
would lose my sense of direction when I got into it, and began to feel
claustrophobic.  Only the sound of the road let me know which way was out.
I have literally gone in circles out there before, trying to find a
"shortcut" to my stuck tractor.

 

Let me apologize for the shaky camera work in this video.  I have ET
(Essential Tremor) so my camera work is less than stellar.  I could probably
have edited out half of it, but I don't have time or patience for editing
video these days, so I posted it as-is.  The going got sort of rough here
and there, causing me to lose focus on the camera (and annoyingly letting my
finger drop into the frame here and there.)  After viewing it, I realized
that the camera was looking where I was looking - and that's not always
where a viewer would want me to look.  I look down to see if I'm about to
run over a rock, not up to see where I'm going.  So, when I watched the
video, I kept "wishing" I'd raise the camera to look at the path ahead.  If
you watch, you'll wish that too, LOL.  Also, when I took the video, I
thought I had a piece of wood stuck in the flail making a lot of noise.
Later inspection showed that a cotter pin had come out, and allowed the
flail knives to move out too far, hitting the housing (and making NOISE.)  I
have since replaced all the cotters and knife holders with bolts - when I
did it I found that about half were missing the cotters.  ROUGH MOWING!

 

Anyway, here's the link to the video. https://youtu.be/zzrjLiJ1aQU
