Brush hogging, which some people call bush hogging, cuts an overgrown field back to open ground. We run a brush hog, a rotary brush cutter, on our compact track loader. It mows down tall weeds and light brush in fields and pastures around Waukesha. The fence rows and lot edges beside them open back up too.
A field that goes without a cut fills in with goldenrod, then saplings. Paulin Land Solutions brush hogs that ground to keep it open between bigger clearings. When the brush gets too thick or the saplings too big, the job moves to forestry mulching. Both are part of our land clearing work in Waukesha County and across Southeast Wisconsin.

Most farms in Waukesha County are small. The 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 439 farms in the county, and 278 were under 50 acres. The same count found 996 horses and ponies.
We brush hog hobby farm fields, horse pastures, idle acreage and the far corners of big lots. Grown-over Lake Country lots and fence rows get cut back too. A regular cut keeps that ground a field instead of a thicket.
A brush hog cuts tall grass and weeds, plus saplings up to a few inches thick. It works best on open ground without heavy brush.
Thick brush and bigger saplings move to the mulching head on the same track loader. It grinds them into mulch where they stand. If your field has both kinds of ground, the written quote says which tool works where.
Brush under mature trees is a different job again. That is brush clearing under the trees, and the big trees stay standing. A fence row choked with buckthorn needs buckthorn removal with the mulching head first. After that, brush hogging can keep the regrowth cut back.
Timing matters with field mowing. The UW Extension advises mowing pasture weeds after they bolt, or send up a tall stalk, but before they seed. For some weeds that window lasts less than two weeks. Once the seed is ripe, mowing spreads it.
Wisconsin's noxious weed law, state statute 66.0407, points the same way. Canada thistle is on its list, and whoever owns or controls the land must destroy it. Under the law, cutting counts when it keeps the plants from reaching the bloom stage. Towns and counties can add other weeds to the list.
Wild parsnip is another reason to watch the calendar. The Wisconsin DNR lists old fields and pastures among the places it invades. It says a brush cutter can handle large patches before the seeds set. The sap can blister skin in sunlight, so tell us where it grows before we cut.
