Bush hogging is heavy-duty rotary mowing used to cut tall grass, weeds, brush, and small saplings on overgrown fields, pastures, and rural lots. A bush hog attachment on a tractor handles vegetation up to two inches in diameter — ideal for annual maintenance on hunting land, hay fields, and CRP ground across central Wisconsin.

What We Do
About Bush Hogging & Brush Clearing
Bush hogging is how most landowners in central Wisconsin keep their open ground from going back to brush. A rotary mower mounted behind a tractor cuts tall grass, weeds, briars, and saplings up to about 2-3 inches in diameter. It is the simplest, most cost-effective way to maintain fields, pastures, fence lines, and CRP acreage that would otherwise grow over in a season or two.
We run bush hogging jobs across Marquette, Adams, Waushara, Columbia, Sauk, Juneau, Green Lake, and Wood counties from our home base in Oxford, WI. Most landowners schedule one or two cuts per year — late spring after growth takes off, and again in early fall before hunting season. Some dairy and beef operations run on a different cycle tied to grazing rotation. We work around your schedule and your livestock.

Compare Methods
When to bush hog vs. when to mulch
Bush hogging is the right tool when you are maintaining ground that is already mostly open — fields, pastures, CRP acreage, food plot edges, and fence lines. If the vegetation is grass, weeds, briars, or saplings under 2-3 inches, a rotary mower handles it quickly and affordably.
Forestry mulching makes sense when the land has gone further — when you are dealing with established trees, thick brush stands, or saplings over 3 inches in diameter. Mulching is a heavier operation at a higher price point, but it reclaims ground that a bush hog cannot cut through.
Many of our clients use both services. We mulch to clear an area initially, then bush hog it annually to keep the brush from coming back. That combination is the most cost-effective long-term maintenance strategy for rural land in central Wisconsin.
