Mowing Elephant Grass On A Coffee Farm

Mowing Elephant Grass On A Coffee Farm - Cancino Coffee Farm In Kona, HawaiiOn the slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii is the Cancino Family Farm, where they produce approximately 4 million pounds of coffee per year. Jorge works for Cancino Coffee Farms as a Mowing Operator. He specifically helps control the overgrowth of grass and weeds by mowing between the coffee trees on the farm. He is a hard worker and has proudly put over 2,500 hours on the Ventrac tractor over the last three years.The Hawaiian Islands average 8 trillion gallons of rainwater per year and while that results in a characteristic green and lush appearance, it also fuels the growth of fast-growing grasses and weeds. One of which is a native species called Elephant Grass. Elephant Grass is very common in areas of high rainfall. The weed grows approximately 2 inches per day and is extremely dense and invasive.The Ventrac Tough Cut Mower is designed for mowing high grass and thick weeds. It has a large baffled front opening that helps to direct materials into the deck and hinder debris from escaping. Three heavy-duty blades counter rotate to cut and deposit waste evenly without windrowing. Jorge explains that it takes him approximately 3 weeks to mow the entire property, roughly 120 acres of land. And they cannot tackle the slopes of the mountain with any other equipment, making the Ventrac an invaluable asset to their operation.Rugged slopes are common and caused by the erosion of volcanic surfaces on the island. Ventrac’s unique Flex Frame design articulates in the center, giving the tractor more maneuverability in tight or compact spaces than a traditional sub-compact tractor. The front and rear axles oscillate independently, so all four drive tires remain in better contact with the ground across the volcanic terrain. And Jorge operates the Ventrac comfortably and feels secure while operating across the dangerous terrain.Products featured in this video:VENTRAC 4500: https://www.ventrac.com/products/tractors/4500 TOUGH CUT: https://www.ventrac.com/products/attachments/hq680 For more information, visit https://www.ventrac.com/ Find a dealer near you! https://www.ventrac.com/dealers Get a FREE catalog! https://www.ventrac.com/contact/catalog Subscribe here! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0aiC7V2JS3nh11R5tRuIUw Connect with Us!Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ventrac/ Instagram - @ventrac_tractorsTwitter - @ventrac
