Ralph clears overgrown ditch banks with a Bushhog SM60, showing how he greases the sliding driveshaft and remotes setup, then runs multiple passes explaining technique and how the hydrostat transmission handles the load and off-center hits. Good for owners curious how a 4-series hydrostat actually performs under a heavy side cutter in daily use.

Yes. Ralph says people may think it's too much bush hog for the tractor, but it handles the work well even though it is heavy.
The hydrostat controls are good for this work, easy to pull forward, back up, and change direction, and it won't over-pressure the hitch on big hits.
Ralph greases the slides where it extends in and out and the drive shaft, which has quick connects on both ends so it can be slid off and greased easily.
The only downside is flat out pulling, like pulling hay in a field, where it's hard to keep steady torque. Loader work, bush hogging, and tilling are fine.
