Josh, definitely put a filter/seperator on that tank. Meanwhile grab a "Mr. Funnel" to use when filling equipment. That way no water gets to your machines. Combo of tank and funnel filter/seperator and you be livin' the dream son. 😁 BTW - why don't you have a rear quick hitch?

Oh and a quick hitch on that three pt. 😀 BTW - looking forward to that fell bush hog, really need something on my 4 lakes/ponds and pasture edges. Give 'er a real work over for us.

I am glad you admitted that it took you almost 2 1/2 hours to line up the 3-point the first time. I think every farmer has gone through that first experience. I know I did. Once you hook it up 2-3 times, everyone comes up with their own solution to lining it up. I dread 3-point hook ups every time I head to the barn. It gets easier, but it's never quick and effortless.

Also an additive like Penray Fuel Prep will help with water and add an anti microbial agent as well as add some lubricity to the fuel which will benefit your injectors on all motors running diesel. Small bottle will treat a 250 gallon tank. I live in NC myself and these hot days and cool nights bring lots of condensation. Especially in a fuel tank exposed to the outside air. I have rarely had to use and anti-gel agent on my diesel fuel as it rarely gets cold enough to gel up diesel here in NC. Fuel Prep does not have an anti gel agent.

This is what I’ve always put into practice. To add to that, your older equipment may have metal/steel fuel tanks. Keeping those full at the end of the day will minimize the rust that happens inside of the metal tanks due to the less surface area the condensation will be able to form on.

Where Im located i hardly ever use top link while cutting. Got mostly pastures and smooth ground. It allows me to float better over the slightly hilled areas. Also heres a neat trick I learned when hooking up any 3 point equipment. As you see the lower arms never line up. Use a pipe, large pry bar, or even a t-post to move the implement to where the pin holes will line up. Much easier than trying to man handle the equipment or hopping on/off tractor a hundred times trying to move it forward/backwards to get them aligned. As far as fuel tank, water separator is your best option, just dump it and replace on a regular basis. Condensation will build up in any tank (plastic or metal) over time.

Ahh the classic argument on what angle to set a bush hog at. Some people like josh set it level. Some people like Chucke2009 set it with the front higher, and some people like me set it with the rear higher, so that the skid plates drag not the mower body and to send the discharge out the back so tree limbs and whatnot don’t come flying out the front. Nevertheless it was a great video no hate here!;)

I set mine lower at the front also, about 1” lower than the rear. The throws the cuttings out the back instead of forward to hit the front of the deck. That just causes it to carry more material with it as you travel, then it burns more fuel because it takes more power to keep all of that mess stirred up until it finally gets thrown out the rear discharge.

You can get a fuel filter for your transfer tank that has a water separator built into the filter. They also make a funnel type filter that you can pump the fuel through when filling the tractor tank that is supposed to take water out of the fuel. Keep in mind if you have water in the fuel it will be on the bottom of the tank so if you can shorten your draw tube for your pump so you aren't pulling right off the bottom it will help. Eventually you will have to deal with the water in the tank. I also like to have the bucket on the fel when hogging, set it to ride 4 to 6 inches above ground so it hits stumps, big rocks, or debris before the hog hits it.

So to answer your question about the fuel getting water in it most of the time on the top of the fuel cap you are going to have what's called a one-way check valve or there's some way to get air into the tank and most of the time like on semi trucks we have what's called a one-way check valve that is so that it's not always vented to the atmosphere but only when you're sucking fuel out that air is allowed in so when the tanks just sitting there it will not allow air to pass

Fuel doesn't suck water. Air, and the humidity it contains, enters the fuel tank during the day when it is warm and the humidity condenses on the tank walls when it cools down. Want to eliminate it? Keep the tank full and there is no or little air space inside for the atmosphere to enter. I keep a fuel tank for my airplane and don't keep it full but there is little humidity where I am in Alaska and I have a water filter on it. I do keep my airplane full when possible. Believe me, a half empty tank in your area is going to get a lot of water in it.

Great video! A few suggestions. Keep your tank as full as you can, all the time. Especially when there are extreme swings in the morning-to-night temperature. If you can, find a way to properly vent the tank. Those spring-loaded "venting caps" don't work worth a darn. Some transfer tanks come with a threaded and plugged port at the bottom. It's usually for a drain, and about 1/4". If you put a street elbow there, then a riser up to just above the level of the pump, and a rain proof vented cap, your expansion/contraction & condensation issue will get a lot better. Last, your idea of a water separator is the right way to go. Also, use a good quality LOW/SMALL micron filter. Filters are cheap compared to fuel injection systems that get ruined by water. I spin a new fuel filter on every one of my transfer tanks every 60 days. I probably pump a lot more fuel than you do, but the point is: Get in a routine. It's easy to forget when I did it last, so I put a reminder in my phone calendar and write when it was done last right on the side of the filter with a sharpee. Let the tank breath and filter the hell out of the fuel leaving that transfer tank. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Temperature differences in your fuel tank causes air to expand and contract, thus, your tank breathes air and moisture in and out when the tank cools and heats up. To intercept moisture in the air you could find a way to get a moisture adsorbing dessicant at the place you put in the fuel. Look around for something that can be put in this area to adsorb the moisture. Adding a moisture adsorbing filter inline works. I have an old gas tractor, small amounts of moisture are not as much trouble for me. I just keep the tank as full as possible so air does not breathe in and out as much.

Fuel water separator for the fuel tank is a must. The tank is vented(usually with the fill cap) and if not vented it would either be crushed by atmospheric pressure when pumping fuel or the pump would not work.On mine I use a fuel filter that has a water separator as part of the design. Simply replace every 6 months or so. Just replaced a 92 gallon aluminum tank that had corrosion perforations on the bottom. Heck of a mess when it started leaking. Went back with a steel fuel tank aluminum tool box option.When buying used you take that risk:tank may leak.

The Other Browns TS has it right. Lower in the front. If higher in front the same grass, brush, sapling gets cut twice. Once when the front of the cutter runs over it and again as the back of the cutter runs over it. Using more HP thus more fuel and harder on the drive line. Lower in the front the cutter cuts the material and as the back of the cutter runs over it it has 2” free space for the blades to move or handle the cut material. I can’t say 100% of the cutters are adjusted the way I said but 100% of the cutter manuals I’ve read do, and that’s a few manuals.

I brush hog for living mostly 20 acres or less the majority of jobs are 2 acres or so . I live in Southern California and we have to all cut our grass and weeds on barren land to prevent brush fires . It also must be Disc not just cut that’s where I come in most peeps use skid steers out here but now that all must be disc there’s a lil Niche for tractor work . I have a 2013 JD 3320 great compact tractor and pre Tier 4 which is nice . We had a very wet winter this year which ended our drought but the weeds have been crazy I’ve done many jobs this year with weeds 10’ tall or more been crazy like driving through a jungle. One job I did was 2.5 acres steep hillside behind the customers home at the bottom the weeds were up to 15’ tall, the customer had just bought the property late this spring . The weeds were so tall and thick that I discovered a metal roofed two stall stable and round pen that the new owners didn’t even know it was on the property , crazy ya couldn’t even see it till I almost ran into it ,nature had taken over even though it looked like it was built in the last ten years or less . It has been a great season due to the rains only bummer is it’s been super hot lately and the peeps who wait till the last minute before Weed Abatement fines go out ! Yes if you don’t cut and disc it you will be fined by the county and city $500.00 a month until you remedy it . Anyways just wanted to share the life of a brush hogger keep up the great videos . Ps. I have brush hogged so much this season I had to weld skids on bottom of my brush hog they were worn through ! Keep an eye on it Josh it’s way easier to do it before it’s paper thin just a helpful hint !

Yessir...very good point...we normally drive up into Virginia and get our fuel...65 cents cheaper per gallon! Nuts! Lot's of folks suggested keeping the tank full.....but I run it dry then fill it up....my goal is to put 100 gallons in when I fill up! FYI we've gone through 400 gallons this year so far!

Stoney Ridge Farmer yeah I was wondering about how much fuel you burn a year and can’t go wrong getting a extra water separator for your tank in your truck
