Brush Mowing with Tractor T-40 AM

Brush mowing in the forest with this brush mower I found from the "scrap metal". It needed some attention, bottom seals were leaking and it had no proper chains. Other than that it's a fine machine.

In the Estonian folklore they call this machine "ämmavihtleja" which translates to "mother-in-law beater" in a sense of "beating your mother-in-law in sauna with the whisk of twigs"
Usually used to mow the potato stems/leaves before potato harvest.

Summary:
00:13, small repairs to the mower. Replacing chains and putting it all together
00:48, dangerous spinning machine
00:57, upper link on the 3 link was not fixed properly and fell apart. Small hole in the ground from that.
01:19, longer video section showing how it works starts here
03:21, last section ends here
03:37, found myself in the ditch. It's actually quite steep and filled with water(ice), might tip over..
03:56, MTZ 952 to the rescue!
04:39, almost backed the 952 to the other ditch (on the other side)...
04:53, going home
05:09, The End
