He demonstrates marking hazards, foot-deep holes, hidden rocks, old concrete pads, wire, and stumps, with step-in fence posts so you don't hit them blind when tall grass obscures everything. Short and anecdotal rather than technical; most useful for newer rural property owners who haven't developed this habit yet.
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.
Midwinter, when the grass and weeds aren't growing, is a great time to walk the pasture and spot holes, rocks, wire and stumps before tall grass hides them.
Mike puts a step-in fence post right in the middle of the hole so he knows exactly where it is, even if he doesn't fill it until spring or summer.
On a side hill, a foot-deep hole can make a tractor feel like it's tipping over, and with a high center of gravity or a deep enough hole, it can actually roll.
