[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 402119, member: 1604"] How do you figure this? Herbicide can mostly be used here for "undergrazed" land such as land coming out of CRP, among others. Fire ants are a big reason to not Bush Hog or Shred pastures. They can demolish a Bush Hog in just one to two seasons. Not counting the damge done to the tractor by instantaneously overloading the PTO. (I have seen PTO shafts broken inside the tractor from hitting ant beds with a Bush Hog.) Plus, you can apply herbicides for a fraction of the cost. Most broadleaf weeds will not be killed if the stem is not cut below the bottom leaves, allowing them to gather energy from the sun. Bush hogging/shredding only serves to give you a sense of instant gratification and accomplishment. Does anyone think those guys in Nebraska and S. Dakota with those wonderful pastures bush hog their pastures each year? Waste of time and money. [/QUOTE]
