- Mowing a couple fields for dry hay. 2 fields will be round baled and the last field will be for small square bales. Mowing with a John Deere 956 MoCo pulled by a John Deere 4250. #farming #dairyfarm #johndeere #equipment #hay #mowinggrass
Came to start watching your channel because of Duffy agg s shout out for your channel
Thank you for checking out the channel. Thats pretty cool, Duffy is a great guy
Excellent job mowing👍
Thank you
My favorite sound in the world is throttling up my 4020 right after I turn the pto on to the moco...love it!
Its a great sound
That's some good looking hay!
Thank you Zeke. It was some nice hay
Try a clause you get more into it it’s a dance bell you get more in the bell
I'll check them out
Great Video Mike, nothing more relaxing than mowing hay, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Tony. Always good to mow hay
Nice video Mike. Your hay looks nice and the haybine is doing a good job. Are your operating the aerial camera too?
Thank you Randy. Yes I'm mowing and flying the drone too
Good job
Thank you
Nice mower. Love the aerial shots. Kind of a high pitched whine from that mower. Not sure if it’s just from the camera but you might consider ear plugs. You’ll thank me in 30 years 😉.
Thats good advice
Likje how the 4250 sounds.Whats the speed & gear?The 4250 is close to the 4430 in hp.
Depending on where I was in the field (some spots were really thick) I was running around 8th gear
In the 42 years I dairy farmed I never owned a round baler As long as Dusty doesn't charge to much I'd let him do it Consider the fuel,wear on equipment, twine maintenance, you could be doing other chores it just didn't make sense to own one
Dusty does a great job, however, a lot of times when we want to get hay baled Dusty is baling his own hay. There have been plenty of times where the dark rain clouds are rolling in and it would be great to grab the round baler and get things baled up. Not too mention we are looking to feed more round bales. It might have not made sense for you to own one but it does make a lot of sense for us to own one
I'm sure you will find the round baler that's right for you. Trying all of your options is the fun part. At least I always thought so. Still short of rain and the second cutting is showing it. We have 80 acres about and I think it will barely fill our 18x60 silo.... We'll see.
Hopefully you are able to get the silo filled
I do see someone loves to hunt deer. Nice box stands😁
It is nice. It was the previous land owner that put it in. I think the current land owner likes it a lot
Good thing you got AC in that tractor 😉
Haha, I know right!
I guess that means more time in the hot barn loft loading hay!
It sure does
Mike, have you or dad every have any close calls of wildlife in the field while cutting hay?
I'm not sure if my dad has but 1 time when I was mowing I had a deer jump up in front of the mower. Luckily I stopped quickly so that was the only close call I can think of
I think the drought is over here, monsoon season has arrived!!
Yeah the drought is definitely over
I"d look for a low hour used baler, if there"s one in the state.
We've talked to the salesman about that too
Looks really nice, Hope you get a bunch of round. I just put one out, got close to 100 round from 13 acres. Have a great evening and weekend.
Thank you. Got some nice round bales out of these fields
Man u do a great job
Thank you Patrick
My favorite is a 7810 with a 450 moco behind it a bit newer cab, but a nice 15' cut. It can slay some hay in a day. Gotta love a center pivot mower! That outfit looks sweet!
Yeah I like having the center pivot 15 foot. It really knocks the hay down
Definitely check out a baler with the processor knife kit in it . Way less waste in rings. Not great for unrolling though. Looking good laying it down!
Thanks Morgan
what's next after you mow it?
We will ted it to dry it out, then rake it into rows once its dry, then bale it
@mikep7810 i wish i could visit you on the farm
Nice mowing , first or second?
Thank you. First cut
@@mikep7810 must be almost done first
Great looking hay mike, do yous even use the self propelled new holland hay one? Do yous own or rent the ground yous farm? How much ground do yous farm?
We still have the self propelled new holland. We don't use it because the head needs to be rebuilt or replaced. We farm ground that we own and that we rent
Hey Mike looks like Your getting some hay done quite wet here, rains every other day here of so it seems anyway. Basically at a standstill due to wet conditions. Just a couple acres of 1st a bunch of 2nd and some oats to bale. Just can't get on it. Had a hip replaced last Monday at least the weather is giving me a chance to heal.. Time to catch up on Mike and Andy videos. Keep going get it done I'll be back at it when the sun comes.out
Glad you enjoy Andy and my videos! Yeah the weather has been frustrating. Only have those short windows to get the hay made
Great video Mike! Gotta make hay when the sun shines. Is that one of them fields where you mow only once a year? That how I’ve mowed hay with a swing frame I go up and down.
Thanks Rick. It all depends on the regrowth. If the 2nd cutting is there we are going to get it
Nice looking setup Mike!
Thank you
I still can’t get over how big that thing is. Even makes the 45 look small, lol
Yeah its quite the set up when we have it on the 4555
@@mikep7810 bet it would look pretty boss on a 7810 😉
@@dembeckfarms a 7810 would be the perfect tractor for it!
Nice video. I need to get out the pole saw and trim back branches growing out in to the fields. That way, when we are up on the property, we can drive right along the edge and not have branches whacking the truck. The same for you, not having branches whacking the the cab of your tractor. 14:45, take out more branches on that tree on the corner.
This is rented ground so its something we can talk to the land owner about
@@mikep7810 Mike, it’s me, you know who. I care that you and your family rent the fields. This why I cut back branches, brush hog along the fields, to maximize your hay yield. I just prefer to use a pseudonym. The next time I see you, I will explain the pseudonym. Before your time, maybe your parents watched Saturday Night Live. You will get a laugh when you look up the episode. I just enjoy watching your videos, especially when I see you on our fields. Keep up the the videos and educate people where their food comes from. Hard working farmers like your family.
@fredgervin9930 Ooooohh, I re-read the comment and makes more sense now. I thought someone was telling me to cut back the branches, I was like I'm gonna go on someone else's property and start cutting things 😃
@@mikep7810 You are with me now. Lol. Now, maybe we can educate the the idiots, that milk, cheese, ice cream, vegetables, fruits, chicken, pork, and beef do not miraculously appear on the shelves of my store. That hard working farmers, like your family propagate these foods for consumption by educated people as well as the uneducated idiots that think all of these things appear out of some app on their phones.
Nice vid! Looking good!
Thank you Gene
Mike do you guys own a Bat Wing Mower if so you should mow the stuff that is not good for hay but leave the stuff that’s going to be hay!
No, we don't have a bat wing mower
@@mikep7810 why not
@keydanasefa8438 We are a small farm, we can't have every piece of equipment out there
@@mikep7810 just a thought
1 lolAll that hay down = rain lol
Luckily we just missed the rain
Looks like your gearbox is leaking some oil out of it
I'll check it out
@@mikep7810 might of been a little over filled and with heat it came out the breather
thank you
Thank you
