Kramer and Ford 6610 make light work of getting the hay in.

Due to the 7610 still being out of action, I've had to use the Kramer for bale loading. Many thanks to my better half for providing a 'shuttling' service with the Kramer as well as taking some video footage.

Have you thought about making a adaptor plate so kramer can use all the tractor attachment and tractor can still use them too , keep them all on Greys brackets like
I hadn't, but someone else also suggested that so I might think about it. Thanks .
Good video hope you get the ford sorted can't believe you can hold the electric fencer when its on id be yelling 💥
Fit looking heifers are they beef or for breeding?
Thanks. I just buy, rear and finish my cattle
You might be as quick with 2 lengths of 400 x10 mm flat and making a backing plate
I did consider that myself at one point. But I thought as these plates were pre drilled already for the muck grab I could make it duel purpose with less effort.
@@oldschoolfarmer7610 fair point if they will fit the bale handler without having to drill new holes
Keep a look out for an adapter plate to fit the Kramer that takes Grays brackets, or have a go at making one and it would make interesting content!
I hadn't thought of an adaptor plate. Probably need to be made rather than bought but you never know. Might be stretching my skills though.
Those loader brackets. It might be a bit of work in the short term, what you are planning, but it may a long term gain. What happens if one of the loaders go down in the future (Kramer breakdown when you want to muck out?). By having a spare set of brackets you can use between both loaders would be a help. Can you fabricate an entire adapter that goes between the loader and the implement you want to use? Seen this before on a larger shovel set up. Good to see the ole girl will be back in the blocks soon. 👍
Yes, I always like the idea of a backup, especially if it's for a job that can't wait.
Good one good old TH-cam 👍👍
Nice work. I find that sometimes you’ve just got to dive in. And you’ve increased your knowledge here👏👌👍
Yes, I agree 👍
@@oldschoolfarmer7610 check out James at F I X I T, F A R M I T. earlier comment was deleted as I put this in with standard wording. He’s got a great guy working for him as a mechanic on agri machines 👍
Job well done 👍
Cheers
you get the job done and save a bit of money on the way thats all that matters dosent matter what other people think 👍
Don't knock yourself you manage very well thanks for uploading
Thanks.
Thanks 😊
get your self a flail mower
Put a ratchet strap around the length of the track, take the grease nipple out and tighten the strap up as much as you can. That will push the grease out and get the track slack enough to slide off
Thanks. That's a great idea. Wish I'd thought of it.
Nice honest video don't worry about making mistakes as my late dad used to say the man who didn't make mistakes never did much 😂
Good news on the TB test 👍👍 your stock are looking very good 👏👏
Cheers.
The cattle look amazingly good. Glad you passed your tb test
Thanks 👍
That bearing is in a sorry state what is the rest like 😂
Fortunately, everything else seems good. Surprisingly, it was hard to notice it with a tightened track. But as soon as it was slackened, it was a different story!
Thanks Paul
Congratulations on getting a clear TB test
Thanks.
Your a good man! Takecare just subscribed 👍🥟🚜👍
Interesting subject. There’s also fail type toppers to consider and you could do with a front mounted topper to reduce driving on the grass you’re going to top. Often people drive to quickly when topping especially with fail types, all they do is roll the material (grass/ weeds etc) over.
Yes, I think I think you're right. Maybe it's not seen as an important job to do properly.
Very nice looking Hay my late grandfather used to say a few bales of nice hay is good furniture to have about the place 🙂
Good job a fair few bales 👍👍👏👏
Thanks 👍
Lot of bales there get yourself a flat eight grab you'll get a lot more bales on that trailer thanks for putting up your videos appreciate the effort it must take
Thanks, much appreciated. Yes, I have a flat eight grab, but the brackets are for the loader on the 7610, which is waiting for a new clutch.
Nice vid.. iv just subscribed.. stay safe 🏴
Thanks for the sub!
Nice one good crop there 👏👏
Thanks 👍
Looks great hay.I always found that sheet on the rake to be a hindrance also.i was quick to remove it too.Did you do anything to with the 7610 clutch yet ?
Thanks. Not yet, my local ag engineers have said they will do it, but they're busy, and I'll have to wait a few weeks.
Kuhn stuff is definitely strong, as for lifting up at the headlands, each to their own but we never lift it up at the headlands, albeit ours will pivot so no stress, talking about America, the three point hitch over there is not as popular with that as UK, drawbar is king over there, you can buy either a hydraulic lift or manual depending on how deep your pockets are, good luck with your tedder 👍
Thanks for your comment. Interesting, I didn't know that about the US. I agree with your opinion on Kuhn though.
The woes of making hay we still make a small acreage in wee square bales for the sheep hard work 🥵
I don't envy you. Small bales are harder work.
We made square bales for years , stacking them in the park to get the air through them , then loading and carting in from field then stacking again in the hay shed again thank god for the lister bale/sack elevator and small petrol engine ! Even the flat 8 set up would have saved a lot of back breaking work 😊@@oldschoolfarmer7610
Depends on the crop and the stage of drying it's at imo. If your rowing up for silage and the crop is heavy not lifting on the headlands can leave your final swarth lumpy. If the crop is very dry running over the headlands multiple times can break the grass up to where the baler won't pick it up from the ground. Bit of trial and error and you'll see what works best for you :)
Thanks for the advice 👍
Before I retired I was a agricultural contractor for 50 years end of the road you pick it up same as you would the mower I'm rolling up if you just turned with it on the ground you're stressing it
Thanks, that's what I thought was best.
I never lift it up.More wear and tear on the machine.i try to travel in a different spot on the headland every time.
On the haybob there was a free float position that allows you to turn In one direction with the wheels on the ground but the other direction you had to lift the machine to turn
And on some machines the wheels can pivot. On this machine they are fixed and with this tractor i turn sharp and come back the next row rather than doing it in flats. Therefore, I think lifting is probably better for me.
@@oldschoolfarmer7610 yes I agree with you if wheels are fixed you lift it at end of row if they swivel it doesn't matter so much, yeah you do your row's the same way as I did. Love your videos 👍
Ford ten series were a great looking tractor, they have aged very well too 👍
I agree. Probably explains why they are still as popular as when they were introduced.
Great job there a nice crop 👍👏
Thanks.
Kymco maybe reasonably good quads for the price
OK, thanks .I will look it up. Has been pretty reliable for me
Great machine.
Good video the countryside where you farm is very nice what county do you farm in
Cheers. We are close to the Cheshire/Shropshire border.
@@oldschoolfarmer7610 looks a nice part of the world 👍
Love your videos , reminds me so much of growing up on the family farm many years ago , similar tractors and machinery and nothing to sophisticated compared to equipment these days . Keep them coming 😊
Thanks, much appreciated.
Good video grass growth here in Ni quite poor it has been very cold lately especially for june
Yes, here too. Warming up a bit today, though.
I think that was a good tool choice.People are too quick nowadays to disregard corded tools.
Our 7610 went the same way it turned out the clutch was just worn out hedge cutting and old age of course had to replace the complete clutch and the shaft too as the splines were quite worn new seals too
Aye, I guess it's a wearing part so sooner or later it's going to need replacing.
Either way,it has to be split.
Sadly you're right.
It sounds like bite the bullet and new clutch
If you let the clutch slip you will smell it and know for sure but if its the dual power you will not smell clutch plates burning
Thanks.
Had clutches in both my 6610s recently and when the tractor was split we found that the seals in the dual power was leaking and letting oil onto the disk causing it to slip, even with a good amount of life still left on the clutch it was soaked in oil
Thanks for the reply. I have a suspicious that may be the same problem with mine.
You can indeed run 2 filters on that head and it would be a good idea to. I do on my old tractor and when I needed to get the CAV pump resealed after 40 yrs service, the injection pump specialist said that they could tell that it ran 2 filters and they were changed yearly. HTH Have you owned her from new? she is a credit to you if you have! 🙂
Thanks, I might do this the next time I service her. No second owner; Dad bought her about 20 years ago when a neighbour retired.
Good video our 7610 was stopping and messing about it turned out the filter in the tank was blocked oh the joys
I was worried that it might be that, but the lift pump seems to have cured the issue. It's a bit easier to get to!
How many tractors do you have lol
Currently 5
Plenty choice and you keep them very tidy
Great to see your old style machinery still doing a grand job at very little cost and no depreciation
An extra 100 rpm will make an hugh difference to the job
