Mike shares two core tips, keep engine RPMs at PTO-rated speed and stay on the tractor no matter how loud it gets, and briefly compares blackberries to multiflora rose. No footage, no specs; it's spoken advice only, best suited to someone nervously tackling their first overgrown patch.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
Keep the engine revved up to PTO-rated speed, drive slow, and stay on the tractor. Blackberries have weak wood so once mulched up there's not much left.
It sounds like the world is coming to an end when you hit a thicket as tall as the tractor, but it's not dangerous as long as you stay on the tractor and don't get down in the thorns.
No, multiflora rose is meaner and spreads easily from birds eating the seeds. Mike says it has no value and running over it gives him great joy.
