It won't take you long to get used to this machine it is the smoothest running machine i have ever been in. The only difference in this one and the one i own is just a computer setting on the fuel. if you buy this i would say great choice its stable going down the road and is very smooth in the field. on thing i would do is switch those tires around because if it gets wet you will need to have the traction to get through.
I agree about the tires, I was working on a bit of a slope and when I would turn around to get lined up again I would spin trying to get back up the hill. We do having another video coming on another demo, one that you've talked about quite a bit in the past. I will say that I agree with you on your opinions on it.
I've worked farming all my life and had the opportunity to operate many wind rowers and my favorite was the Heston 8400 16 ft header.
I've never ran one of those, wouldn't mind trying to. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Thanks for sharing.
Oh boy can't wait to see what's in store for the future great video by the way
Looks good Ryan can't wait to see it in action
sure thing to buy can't wait to see its running speed
NIIIIIIICE!:-)!!! My cousin in Kansas has one of these (or similar), and LOVES it. He had a New Holland and they sold it in favor of getting a Deere.
looks good you got to buy it for sure
We have a JD moco discbine with flails and we used that and a windrower like you have here in the same field and cut at the same time. It took 2 days LONGER to dry the hay that the windrower cut and we had gone through with a tedder and spread everything out. The windrower had those steel crusher rolls like in your video. We cut a decent amount of hay and we have always had better luck with flails.
Pretty nice machine!
I have been waiting for this video haha!
sweet wind rower
Nice! I'm about to go swath in our w235
Does it have auto steer Ryan? My cousins have the crimper rolls on thiers and the are saying its still taking longer to dry than the flails in hay...
Was your hay rake big enough to rake two 16 foot windrows together?
what type of bailer are you guys running behind this new green machine !!?
What you guys want is a big m from krone. The 420 and 500 are ridiculously efficient. I drive for a agri contractor over in ireland and his big m 420 cut 200 acres in a day. 200 acres spread across multiple feilds which meant about 60 km driving between them in total . We get around fairly well. Two big m mowers and three class jaguars 980 in the one feild. No bother keeping up with the choppers
Y'all need demo a combine. For this fall.
I agree
that's pretty cool!
In looking at it quick.. are those front tires on in the wrong direction??
I was waiting on this vid, I saw the Instagram post awhile back lol
What are the hydraulic cylinders for above the rear tires?
can you do more videos with the 4020
What is the advantage of a self propelled mower compared to a 9m or wider butterfly on the tractor? Apart from that it is self propelled and turns quicker than a tractor. Here in Sweden most larger farms use butterfly mowers.
We have two like that they are a nice machine
When Ryan is really behind on uploading, so your praying he uploads daily☺
+How Farms Work is that thing hydrostatic?
Looks like it would be nice to have. That's a big step over them JD swinging MoCo. It would be a lot nicer than running a discbine, but now you have another vehicle to maintain.
how much hay do u have to cut to justify that purchase
nice !!
did you buy the gator?
fun fact, the cabs on those machines were actually designed for the forage harvester and then used for the other machines. that's why the top of the doors are not straight, the glass rises towards the roof so you can see the chute.
hey what does a winegrower do?
Make more sense to me if you are going to plan on getting another big tractor get one with a front PTO. Then you can plow/harrow with that in the spring. Put triple mowers on it and run it that way all summer. Then hall grain cart in fall. Have you ever looked into buying a Pottinger terradisc and do most fields minimum tillage.
I haven't watched the other one yet, can you bale right behind them? Or do you have to flip it somehow so the other side dries? We do the old way with the mowers and pull behind windrowers,
+John Haas thanks
Won't the steel conditioners knock the seeds off the grass plant?
Where do you live
Lol, this one is bigger than the one of +onelonleyfarmer :P
This are some pretty nice machines! Here in Europe you don't see this mowers.
Did u buy the John Deere gator
you should get a new combine be for getting a new wind rower but thats my opinon
It's like a zero turn
Now I'm gonna assume the hay videos will finally be released!!! How many acres of hay do you guys cut each crop, If you don't mind me asking?
+Pietsch Farms It varies. We only have about 40 acres. We do custom work too.
+How Farms Work so do you guys usually get 3 hay crops?
Also do you still have the John Deere gator? Did you buy it?
i saw it at around 5:30 in the vid, thinking a purchase maybe, demos usually last a week max. At least ours do
I want a ride
Is there a reason behind the backwards front tires?
The wheels are not backwards.
wes should be able to tell you everything you want to know about it....
It's nice but the question is how much hay in acres are in hay and comes down to the cost of the W 260 and cost of running it and cost of having equipment the has one function when the tractor for many different uses.
John Haas
Thank you, but still 40 acres and custom baling it pay for it self well good luck with it.
They should make a merger attachment for these machines
If you have the money u should buy it windrower is nice
Demo a new combine
Need to pull the trigger on that thing I have 2
do you still have to rake using these things or can you bail the windrow it poroduces ? after it dries of course?
You guys would have to add a good bit to your hay ground to make this work. Your dealer is getting a lot of positive exposure from these trials. I think dealers should piggy back on popular channels like yours and show "real time, real conditions" performance. Nice video guys... again.
Why are the drive tires reversed? Should be like a tractor.
Is it me or is the tread on this machine backwards? I always thought that the V treads should be pointed in the pulling direction.
+jbmbanter they're backwards to reduce tread wear on the road.
+How Farms Work Did not know that! Always wondered why some farmers put their tread on backwards. Thanks!
Good question, I was going to ask the same thing!
How Farms Work I thought I was right about the tread going the 'wrong' way and your explanation makes sense. Thanks!
+How Farms Work how much did you pay for it
That would be nice to own a little expensive though
big toys for big boys lol
did you guys end up buying the gator??
That's what I thought
GPS mowing, nice
Are the drive tires mounted backwards - tread pattern.???
Apparently this reduces the treadwear while operated on the street.
+flyhound97 why so hostile? You do realize this is a demo tractor right? It spends a lot of time in transit. That said, a farmer that has a lot of outside fields may want them this way if he spends a lot of time transporting to various field contracts. Seriously though, what I mentioned is exactly what the OP mentioned earlier
+flyhound97 Yeah it's a wind rower. Where I'm from we in general call general machinery tractors, unless of course it's a combine where we'd say combine. What are you trying to sound smart for? Oh man I called a wind rower a tractor. end of the world right?
+flyhound97 Who died and made you God of colloquialisms? Get bent troll.
+flyhound97 a colloquialism is exactly that, a colloquialism which is a localized way of saying things. There is no one true and right way when it comes to language which evolves over time. A tractor is any such vehicle designed for putting a high amount of tractive effort (i.e. torque) at slow speeds especially for agriculture or construction. A wind rower is just that, a machine designed for high tractive effort at slow speeds to cut and mow down large amounts of grass or hay into a neat wind row. A troll is a person who intentionally attempts to cause chaos by inciting arguments, insulting commentors, and posting extraneous or inflammatory content the Internet for the sole sake of disrupting normal discussion for the sake of provoking emotional or irrational response in such a way for their own enjoyment or amusement. Trolls often display a God complex in which they'll refuse to admit the possibility of their own failures or errors due to an inflated sense of self worth, and/or infallability or ability despite irrefutable evidence contrary to their argument or lack thereof. Research indicates that most trolls are likely to be attempting to distract or detract from their own poor sense of self worth and reassure themselves of their own respective value by being intentionally derisive often depicting sadist, psychopathic, and antisocial traits.
Why do people call the rake a wind rower?
how many acres of hay do you grow now?
+Will McDonald about 40, but we do custom work here and there too.
nice we have a 9 foot discbine and do just over 200 acres i would like a bigger one but it does the job
Is there a reason the tires are backwards?god video.
+flyhound97 This is a demo machine. It spends a lot of time on the road.
They aren't - the rear wheels caster, and the front wheels are supposed to be the large ones.
Why don't you google it before you spew rubbish out of your stupid mouth.
Thats not what I was talking about either
OLF's 235 doesn't have the crimping rolls. He only cuts with his.
he has flails so still conditions. the case only has knives.
Fancy
You should call up olf so he can tell you all about it.
Why is his screen doing that in that machine? Can somebody answer me plss
it uses the fan to create a vacuum that sucks the dirt off or the screen so the air flow is not restricted to the cooling system.
+onelonleyfarmer is that the same thing on the tractors or? I watch deano 0303 and on his screen is also that?
yes sir
+Douglas Laramie Tnx :)
LOL!!!! O u guys are funny!!! U need way more Jay ground then what u got to justify having that!!! Lol
+Bryan G Which is exactly what I said.
That's brushes to keep the screen clear.
No more smashed alfalfa.
geting jelouse of olf? haha
Why was there a gator in the back ground
before you guys buy anything you should buy a combine
You had to one up OLF. lol.
flyhound97 Not sure I'd say 24 times. Lol.
flyhound97 Sure do it.
I would like to see your list also.
+flyhound97 Many of those things aren't true. That's how OLF does his what he does. Some things he does for the camera. He's still obviously profitable too.
It's his channel and he can do what he wants with it. Its not worth my time to tell you which ones are false and which ones are true. If you're unhappy with his channel why not just start your own farming channel?
Why not just buy a 30 foot 3 pt mower for a fraction of the price?
why would you guys need the windrower if you guys are stopping doing cows?
+harvester man We never said we were stopping doing cattle. We just sold the remainder of Travis's heifers that he raised. We still have all of our beef cattle and are expanding our operation.
+How Farms Work Oh my bad
+harvester man they stopped dairy only
+Luke Baumgartner ah I see
+harvester man yeah. My uncle did the same thing. Dairy is a hard life, so I am happy for him. He has a lot more time on his hands, and he is able to go to his kid's activities more often. I will miss it though!
Tires are backwards
1 lonely farmer only has a JD 235..................U need to buy this to get the escalation wars to start
I got one In toy style
everyone realizes the dealer just brings them stuff for free advertising right.
that is a complicated piece of equipment
Are they paying you for these demo's or are you just happy for your channel to become JD's?
stop dreaming. but do you Guy's do any rye grass
Do farmers make more then doctors?
oh god no.. we deal with large amounts of money but we don't actually make that much
+Hawkins Farms oh okay i wondered because I'm sure some of this equipment they use is worth a doctors yearly salary. How can they afford all this machinery and land and livestock if they don't make much money??
I know a doctor who is a farmer who probably uses the farm as a tax shelter.
+DesertDigger1 tax shelter?
+Kevin Jordan farms arnt taxed as much as normal
I like the r45 better
how farms work
I think they are using your channel for marketing
If you really put a pencil to it you might find you can buy hay cheaper than you can make it yourself
hey around north eastern indiana the is more money in hay than any crop u can think of but we still have 700 acre corn 190 soy beans
OLF swears by his unlike swearing at it like he did at his old NoRower
i agree i have never swore at the Deere!!
+onelonleyfarmer what about the tool box?
its good but it leaks and it will pinch your fingers
onelonleyfarmer didn't they leave it full of spare parts and not lock it Up?
Alsome
Tractor porn lol looks nice bud
Speaking of Wes ebeggger Pandy Did you all donate? After all he needs a free vacation... Take care guys
+Douglas Laramie buy a farm and get the best machinery
I have to thank you for crossing channels with you shit talk it has been awesome for my channel 😍 subs have went up and more money for me. so from the bottom of my heart thank you..
+onelonleyfarmer gotta love the haters eh Wes
+Douglas Laramie so you didn't get the money
lol my hide is thicker than most and its just another day here.i thought it was $5000000. you trying to rip me off now???
Unless you're going big into the custom business, I don't see how 40 acres of hay pays for a $190,000 mower...
+Thomas Rouse We do custom work, and I said it's not something we'd get right now. But even we don't know if someday the farms will be in 100% hay.
Wouldn't need to demo if you would watch One Lonely Farmer
So just because you watch farming on TH-cam shouldn't mean that you should want to do it yourself? Right.
You can watch stuff all you want and that's great for narrowing down what you are looking for. Then you should get your hands on the vehicle or implement to see how it handles and feels to you. You really need it to feel right for you to be productive. Everyone has a preference and you're working best when you're comfortable with the machinery you are operating.
It was only a joke. I farm and understand that you should test things yourself, that is actually true for everything.
+Dustin Hruzek Definitely. Especially something you're trusting your life to like a motorcycle or car.
Just keep messing around till you figure out how to drive it
First like and comment
Good job
Second
OLF doesn't believe in crimpers for some reason.
for the hay OLF makes, crimpers aren't a needed
ok i can clarify this quick.. i do not mind crimpers at all rollers i do not like. i have had very good luck with the flail system in every make i have used so thats why i went with it on the Deere. as for making alfalfa or clover or any other legume type of hay it is a bit rough on the leaves but not as bad as you would think because of the V design. i l;love my W235 and i think the W260 is not necessary for the size header and crop type Ryan is using it for i wouldn't mind it for the heavy grass type hay i am doing.
how are your flails in the long reed canary grass... The grass likes to wrap around the flails for some reason on mine.
Keep in mind, this is government subsidized factory farming. This has nothing to do with real farming.
what????
Sure, the Gov pays these guys big bucks to grow GMO crap to feed the masses. If you grow organic natural food you can't afford tractors like that unless you charge prices so high for your harvest nobody will buy it. It is what it is.
+Dave Stone wow you have no idea how farming works! The problem is there is no way to control weeds in an organic crop! And there's not enough manure around to fertilize. And there's not enough people who want organic food to make the price go up! Do u ever go in and get a shot for chicken pox?? You are genetically modifying your self makin you self resistant to the disease. All farmers have done is make the plant resistant chemicals
+Dave Stone if you farm you are eligible for subsidies. They don't care if it's GMO or no GMO... You don't makes as much because you can't grow as much GM crops. Now you might not get a no-till subsidies due to the fact you have to work the dirt more to grow non GMO/organic. But I can only speak for us but we haven't been getting subsidies or CRP checks because our ASCS in MO is out of money (that the rumor anyway) believe me the government doesn't give 2 shits if we stay running or not..
Jake Ziegler
Nobody puts a needle in me bud. There's an old saying. The doctor dresses the wound but God does the healing. Well, if you know how to harness that power, you'll never go to a doctor again. Anyway, I don't eat GMO and I'll pay whatever I have to pay for real food.
Not ment to be rude but.... GET A BETTER MIC, PLEASE!!!
Pretty nice mower, but still that ugly green colour. Lol
Better than the ugly red
Green - colour of the fields, John Deere choose the green because of that
Blue tractors and a Gleaner combine are the best in the world of my opinion
you bye at thing
