Here in Alabama we have plenty of yellow jackets they are born with a bad attitude. Ready to sting anything that comes around.

You were on the right side of the truck when you said and now the left side has left hand threads

Have a kubota 9540 with the same shuttle shift as yours, it suddenly started moving slow in the forward position, but works fine in reverse, any thought of what it could be?

Great mowing video buddy 👍

Those rims really make that truck look nice! A big improvement for sure!

Awesome job Ben. God Bless

You also might mention that yaller jackets ain't like honey bees honey bees only get one sting and the stinger comes out and yaller jackets can keep on stinging

Well Ben Lord as my witness I was thinking about you getting into a bees nest as I was watching this video, believe me we know about yellow jackets here in north Georgia as well, great job by the way, I pray that we all get some good rain we need it as well, I appreciate you brother

Dude, Nice. What an improvement. It really dresses the truck up. I am proud for you. Have a good one.

Ken I'm with you on the yellowjackets. My dad taught me after I raked over a nest of them when I was 17 and got stung more times than I could count that they go after vibration and movement. He told me to sit as still as I could and whatever I did DO NOT swat at them. Last year I was bush hogging a field that hadn't been mowed in a few years and all of a sudden I found myself surrounded by a swarm of hundreds of yellowjackets. I pulled my shirt collar closed with my gloved hand and sat perfectly still and didn't even breath. I kept the tractor moving and let me tell you those things were hitting the muffler and tractor hood but I escaped without nary a sting. 47 years later turns out my dad must have been right.

Hey Ben, we have yellow jackets here in Central North Carolina, and I don't like them either. I found some with my bush hog a couple years ago working at our church, I wasn't as lucky, I got stung. Have a good 4th.

Yellow jackets are no joke, a feller usually gets one pass over them, but not two without getting eat up. Had some built a nest in a barn we had once. It was in one of our horse stalls, put the horse in there to feed him, and he paws while he eats, and the nest was under his feed bucket mounted on the wall. Needless to say he stirred them up good and got nailed, big mess.

Do you have any measurements on the sissor lift id like to build one

Hello Ben, The Deere seems to he serving you well, I hit yellow jackets most time i bushhog, nasty for sure👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

In my opinion your John Deere is the best lookin modern 2wd I have seen to date. Love that tractor. Stance wheel weights canopy everything is perfect in my opinion love watching that tractor in your videos! Thing is flat sharp!

Same. We need some rain here. It went from flooding rain eveyday to the end of April and overnight into june first blazing heat since.

It seems like every time i hook up my bush hog i get into yellow jackets! i hate them and wasps also. makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

I have gotten into yellow jackets on a tractor a couple of times in my life and you're right, they are no fun. My next tractor will have a cab.

Ben, good video with your John Deere. You mentioned yellow jackets. Yes they are a real problem when you’re out mowing like that and they get very aggressive when you run over their nests! We have them up here in Northwestern Pennsylvania too. If I come across a nest during the day when it’s hot out. I stay away from it until night when it’s cool and they’re all inside the nest staying warm. Mix you up a 5 gallon bucket of water and Sevin dust. Then pour that down the hole until it overflows. It will kill the whole nest including the queen. How are you liking the John Deere now that you’ve had it for a while? She sure seemed to handle the brush hog well.

Yellowjackets will make you want a cab tractor everytime. Hope ya'll have a good 4th, and maybe we can all get some rain. See you next time.

Yes sir,we are blessed with yellow jackets,wasps,bees and hornets here in north Alabama. The hotter it gets the angrier they become. I went through 2 cans of spray today killing wasp in the barn,sheds and under the eaves of the house. I remembered you bush hogging that place in another video a good while back. It looked good then and now after you mowed it 👍

What size cutter you running? It looks like it does a good job.

I know what you mean by yellow jackets. I hate them little buggers too. To be so little they surely have a bit

YELLOW JACKETS SUCK!! I've run over a few nest thru the years !

Another nice looking job done with ease!

I got into some bumblebees once. Fortunately, I saw them hovering the ground when I came back around.

Hi

Hi Ben, we have plenty of yellow jackets here in north Georgia, that's why I appreciate my enclosed cab tractors, but I don't think I see as many as when I was younger. Now it seems like red wasps are building a nest on everything that doesn't move regularly.

You were giving our bx's heck saying those yanmar john deere is the best mower ever made at camp Jacob

I've been eat alive by yaller jackets no fun at all

I don't like yellow jackets either, nor does my wife. We were riding our tractor and ran over a yellow jackets nest and we both got stung, her worse than me. Anytime we see a nest in the ground, I eliminate the nest, asap! We always love to see our fields after we clean them with the bush hog, like what you did. Thanks, have a nice day and a safe and Happy 4th of July!

You have Clayton and Landon what's the third ones name

Possibility for rain tomorrow

Truck looks sharp

Good video

Morning Ben! I too hate the little devils. I was doing bushhogging in the dog days of August / September a few years back here in North Georgia. It is one thing to make a pass over the nest and keep going and then on the next pass see them flying and mad and then avoid getting close, but I was cutting and backing up on a slope on an open station - gear drive tractor in low gear. Went forward and then backed up. I had opened up the 'hotel' and out from under the bush hog they came. I was trying to back up off the slope, change gears, accelerate, and swat with my hat and steer with my other hand and try to unbuckle the set belt also so that I could escape. By the time I could get off the tractor I had been stung 11 times. Not allergic to them, but they do cause minor welts at the sting site and itch. I could not do outside work for four days because the heat and sweat of the summer would aggravate the sting sites. While I had the downtime I decided that it was time for a cab tractor so a month later I was at my local Kubota and upgraded to an M4. Love this tractor and don't regret the cost. Now when I hit a nest, I just smile at them when they hit the glass and can't get to me .... all while drinking my water with the A/C and radio on! Love your videos Ben. Have a great day and God's blessings on you!

Keep up the good work Ben and yes we do need some rain

We have yellow jackets here in Southern Illinois. Thankfully I have a nice cab tractor so when I have stirred up a nest it hasn't been a problem for me. Boy do they get angry.

How are you doing I want me I might be sleeping all right I watch a video later ok

I believe if I was cutting hay up on Bice ridge I would take one of the school busses up there and camp out instead of driving back and forth

Those aluminum wheels would look good on the school bus

Looks great! Don'y envy switching those tires over, between the work and the risk of scratching the new wheels, but like always you cruised right through it.

Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Black Seat Cover for your Kubota RTV 400

This is so cool. Would you mind sharing what your welder setup is for this frame material?

My daughter rebuilt her driveway and put the dense grade on it and it has set up like concrete if we ever get some rain I don't know what it will do you call it crusher run

The truck is sharp with the aluminum wheels

Looks really good Ben

And the coat trash will eat the equipment you put on it up

What's the gvwr on the blue ford

We just got a bx 1818 and am surprised how well it does for an eighteen hp mower
