Bush hogging cuts down a field or pasture that has grown up in tall grass and weeds. Some people call it brush hogging, and it is the same work. We run a rotary brush cutter on our compact track loader. It takes down briars and light brush too, and the cuttings drop back on the ground.
Bush hogging fits a hay field that got away, a weedy pasture, an overgrown lot or a roadside strip. We cut ground once to win it back, or once or twice a year to keep it open. It is part of our land clearing around Pleasant View and the towns within about 30 miles. Call or text (931) 265-1151, and we look at the field and put the quote in writing.

Hay and pasture cover a big share of Cheatham County's farm ground. In the 2022 Census of Agriculture, hay was the county's top crop, on 8,929 acres. The same census counted 9,668 acres of pasture and 5,856 cattle and calves.
UT Extension says the main pasture and hay grasses in Tennessee are tall fescue and orchardgrass. When that grass gets weak, weeds like broomsedge move in. A UT Extension forage specialist calls broomsedge a symptom of a weak stand. That guidance starts with a soil test and calls a healthy, well-fed stand one of the best tools against it.
The cut itself helps too. The same guidance says a summer mowing, as seedheads show, can weaken broomsedge and stop the seed. It also warns against mowing tall fescue too short.
The brush cutter handles tall grass, weeds, briars and light brush. A field cut once or twice a year stays in that range. Skip a few years, and saplings like sweetgum and red maple move in. Once they thicken into small trees, the field has gone past bush hogging.
That ground needs forestry mulching, where the mulcher head grinds trees up to about 6 to 7 inches across. Our track loader runs both the brush cutter and the mulcher head. We match the tool to each part of the field. Thick brush along a yard edge or a creek bank is brush clearing work.
The best month to cut depends on how you use the ground. A cattle pasture and a deer field want different timing. Tell us how you use yours, and we set the date around it.
A stockpiled pasture is grass left standing to graze later, so you need less stored feed. UT Extension says to clip a pasture you plan to stockpile by the end of August. It says mowing takes off old growth and weeds, and new shoots come up fresh and leafy.
Wildlife ground runs on a different clock. UT wildlife specialists say mowing in the growing season destroys fawning and nesting cover, and often fawns and nests. When a wildlife field needs mowing, they advise late winter, just before spring green-up.
