What Brush Hogging Is and When You Need It
Brush hogging uses a heavy-duty rotary cutter to mow down thick, woody growth that a regular mower can’t touch: tall grass, weeds, saplings, briars, and brush. It’s the fastest way to reclaim ground that’s been left to grow, and around Lancaster County there’s plenty of it, from fallow farm fields near Mount Joy to pasture edges, ditch banks, and the back corners of larger properties.
If you’ve got a field you want to keep open, a lot you’re getting ready to use, or an overgrown stretch that’s turned into a haven for ticks and groundhogs, brush hogging clears it in a fraction of the time hand-cutting would take.
How Brush Hogging Keeps Fields Clear
Left alone, an open field doesn’t stay open. Woody invasives like multiflora rose and autumn olive move in from the edges, and within a few seasons a mowable field turns into a thicket. Regular brush hogging keeps that growth knocked back, and it’s a key part of controlling those invasives, which Penn State Extension covers in its guidance on multiflora rose and other invasive shrubs. Keeping a field cut once or twice a year is far easier than clearing it once it’s fully overgrown.
