Doing some heavy brush cutting for local Knights of Columbus, think I finally worked all the kinks out of the Chineasium brush cutter! (major failure ahead)

    Hope you are watching in HD by the time you read this. seems like YouTube is taking forever to process the HD version today......

    For every handyman who has been asked by their wife why they keep that pile of parts in the garage for years... We thank you Matt!
  • @l.m.2404
    The plants along the pine tree row ( and other places) is a very quick spreading Japanese knot weed. It grows and spreads from root cuttings so whatever you do, don't disturb the roots until an application of Weed Round-Up is used to kill it. Round-Up is serious biz so have a trainer horticulturist apply it and keep children /pets away from those sites. It is safe to bull doze the pine trees afterwards. Fantastic job and great bonus repair.

    Literally jumped up shouting "HOLY HELL!!!" when that gearbox was a perfect fit. No better victory than winning after repressing the urge to throw out something you kept for years. Hope you bought that powerball ticket! That chinesium brush cutter is rapidly becoming a good ol "Merican" brush cutter.
  • @martinedelius
    Maybe someone has already mentioned it but the plant you're cutting when the blade breaks is known as "Asian knotweed" and is a really aggressive invasive species. You're actually not allowed to cut it here in Sweden unless you burn the off cuts directly after, or double-bag them in trash bags and dispose of it properly.

    Any off cut, almost no matter how small, will root and produce new plants. The roots dig 10 ft down and 21 ft out which makes it nearly impossible to get rid of the plants once they're rooted.

    Not saying that you could've done this differently, just taking the opportunity to share this knowledge. :)
  • @fulkthered
    It's always good when they copy an original part so well out of chinesium that when it breaks you can just bolt the original version in place and keep on going.If you keep replacing parts like that eventually you'll have the brush cutter you want.Like a Ship of Theseus.
  • @MarkD-nd9lg
    It’s the best feeling ever when a guy’s saved a part for ages and then can actually use it in a pinch!! Well done!
  • That was one of those feel good projects that anyone who does a lot of projects can appreciate, Matt having a gear box just lying around like that made me think of one of my favorite phrases "Even a blind chicken finds a kernel of corn once in awhile" great video as always.....keep them coming.....
  • Knights of Columbus are a good organization Thanks for helping them Matt Your a good man
  • @brucehodges7889
    When you said “sweetheart deal” I kinda wondered if it was a freebie. Way to go Matt, helping out the K of C…how crazy is it that you trashed your gearbox and then had one on the shelf! Someone is looking out for you for doing charity work…
  • @nielsroetert
    My wife when she hears one of the Diesel Creek tunes, here we go again, another hour of your life gone, love these videos.
  • @b.abrackus6403
    Your bushhog will be all USA parts if you keep it another 6 months... That was so satisfying to see that used gearbox bolt right up...that almost never happens for me.
  • @humancattoy7767
    Matt, you are a true gentleman. You are willing to help those in need, and you are humble about it. Thank you for sharing.
    Oh! SNAP!!!
  • @allan9603
    Matt, you're a good, hard working man.

    Your fans know this quite well!
  • @seastacker8582
    I feel the pain. Last time I was hoggin I hit a wadded up pile of barbed wire that had probably been there 100 years. Took me 2 hours to get that mess outta there. Just never know what’s under that brush.
  • @joconnor3567
    Can’t believe you had the foresight to save that old gearbox. Reminded of my father who was raised during the depression years. He saved everything: old boards, nails, screws.
  • @ginobragoli1448
    If there is a lesson to be learnt today its this! "Keep your brush trim because if it becomes overgrown you can't see all the nasties that lurk in it".
    God bless the Knights of Columbus⚔️
  • That is definately japanese knotweed (please look it up) it is quite an invasive plant and its roots are amazing. I would not be surprised if this time next year there is a matching crop of the plant at that location. It can transplant itself with only small amounts of material so I hope you cleaned your machine before heading home. Good job though.
  • @tda2806
    Just after lunch here in the UK and Matt's is making his new toy earn its keep, woohoo :)
  • @freetolook3727
    I love how that thing mulches up everything that it cuts and doesn't leave a mess.
