Read articles →A new owner's first real-work session with the CT4045 on a recently purchased 20-acre farm, focusing on bush-hogging thick brush and overgrown grass rather than a spec walkthrough. The practical takeaway is his trial-and-error discovery about PTO speed settings, medium for thick brush, high for thinner growth, to avoid bogging. Tilling is mentioned but saved for a follow-up. Best for buyers curious about real-world brush clearing performance.
Posted by the CITYHILLBILLYS channel, an owner-operator documenting their first experiences running a newly delivered tractor on their own property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation evident from the material.
Medium speed worked best on thick brush, easing into it slowly so the bush hog does not bog down.
High speed worked well on thinner overgrown grass and weeds, letting the tractor run faster with no bogging.
On low or high speed it bogged out and stalled on thick brush, but medium speed handled it without bogging.
