Your chat around the sums is very interesting. That's a whopper saving. I'd imagine that would more than cover the repayments on a new machine like that? A video on the future changes in Agri and agro contracting you see coming down the line would be interesting. Even getting uncle Ian and Father Phil to have a discussion on future trends. Topics like the cost of diesel/new machinery v old machinery/change in faing methods due to cost would be very interesting. And where you would like things to go for you in 15/20 years time. Cheers
That was a fantastic video you put out.It just show how hard you all work.What a machine as well.Good luck 🍀
Been using kubota for years, they are a fantastic machine
That Kubota does definitely look like a serious machine. Saw a 7171 in Atkins a while back and thought they were definitely underrated.
Love the shoutout to The 2 Johnnies, that Catfish story is mad altogether 😅
There a beautiful tractor Phil and congratulations to yourself and liv I hope you have a very happy and wonderful life together,I’m always following you here from Perth Australia
Nice tractor so quiet inside grate Demo !
Slow and steady always wins the race .🚜🤠👍
Cracking video....best baling video I've seen this year 👌🏻😍
Great video Phil it’s a savage tractor jaysus with those savings it’s a no brainer it would more than pay for itself
Have been discussing your video here around the kitchen table ( rained off) and we have been changing our tractors for new for ALOT of years now and bar for a few years when diesel was cheap almost always we have saved most of the repayment in diesel twenty years ago a 150 hp tractor would use about 25 litres an hour jump forward five models and we are on 11 litres an hour on average across all work mostly a fusion 3 or a 3500gal tanker ( splash plate) did some tillage work and a few days ploughing with a 5 sod reversible basically she has 2450 hours up and has used 26317 litres of fuel, just under 11 litres an hour according to the computer on board. We have other but she is the only 4 cylinder and she won't be the last. We choose her over the 7715 S as she has a far better lock and was supposed to be more economic to run also the boost kicks in before you get under pressure. There comes a point when you have to bite the bullet and start to upgrade your gear if you want to grow a business, old gear has its place but not if you need a machine to do 2000 hours a year keep it for 3 or 4 years and move her on you will find that she will only cost about €10 an hour for M and R and depreciation add this to the diesel and driver and you have your basic cost of the tractor per hour and can price jobs accordingly, we have upped our rates for baling wrapping but not as much as I would have if we were still baling with a tractor that used 15 or 16 litres an hour. By next season we hope to have 3 150 to 200 hp four cylinder machines in our fleet and this from a guy who thought that a four pot machine would be gutless, when you're wrong you're wrong.
Good video Phil Nice tractor, a pocket rocket 🚀
Some amount of bales in a couple of days Phil,thats a proper test and review of a tractor Phil,great vid as always
Good job at testing a Demo tractor Philip
I was in Gurteen Ag Col in 1972.My father had a Peugeot 404,it had a stick shift up near the steering wheel.which was very sensitive, so when he changed gear with his Henry Cooper (ask dad) left hook, I never knew which direction it would go. The 404 was a great courting car. Kubota are very popular in USA.
Nice tidy piece of kit
Very good video Phil
Great video phil
Very nice tractor phil.love the 6499 try a Massey 7s or 6s on demo
Fair play to father Phil keeping the old pipe on the shelf. Never know when you might need it
the vario version is very good for bailing and slurry tanking also it is good at making pre-set revs for rolling on the pit to the pushing the grass up
The new 4 cylinder tractors are brilliant tractors and the massey has a good turning radius and strong lift but I got the adblue off and chiped up the power a small bit and it made a tractor out of it
Serious saving on diesel .fine .looking tractor 🚜
Sit on one in dealers few weeks back taught cab was well laid out
Very impressive phil
We have 7618 on our fusion 3, using 13-15 liters/hour. We do also have a 4 cylinder 6718 wich handels the baler well but surley prefer the 76, alot more torque . Both dyna vt.
Bought a 6715S. last year she has proven to be a very good tool for the baler and shocking economic we have put about 1000 hours of baling on her and we reckon she has save us her repayments on the baling alone and as far as the lock is concerned she turns on a tuppence. You should have a look.
Great content
Good vid as always phil. Weres the massey 3075 gone?
Nice video.
The door locks haven't changed since 07 😂 I'm driving a m125x for a fella and they have the exact same door handle and lock
Nice tractor
That is a nice looking tractor and I wouldn’t have guessed that it was 170 horsepower. What was that song you used during the drone footage
Big difference between the 2 Phil, 6499 210 straight 6 cylinder , Kubota 173 straight 4 cylinder plus echo problem a big help
Ya know it's silage season 1you'd be blown shmoke and 2 da old fella would let u take of da door🚜🚜
About time
That is an excellent excellent detailed video Phil 👍 you are are brilliant worker getting it all done them diesel figures very impressive
Can’t wait to watch we will watch on later so we can relax love watching farmer Phil Phil liv and father and Uncle love the videos and music that goes with them.Good luck 🍀 🍀🍀🍀🍀🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Sweet!
Hey Phil 👋 it will be interesting to see if the kubota has the weight to pull your harrow.
Top video mate
The GAA Catfish was in my class in school, nutcase hahaha
Wasn't expecting this here 🤣 poor awl niamh haha
we are looking at a 6112 kubota as our main tractor, they seem good but obviously are known to have paint issues and the like, but they seem solid. My concern is the size of the cab? They seem pretty small compared to modern cabs.
re bonjour encore une belle vidéo , je préfère les Massey bon courage a vous pour la suite 😍👍👍👍
Kubouta 4cyl engines one the best engines around by far
Well Phil .have ya a comparison with the 99 over the 800 bales on both ?
Fuel is the key to profit or not these days
A neighbour was using a tw 25 on a harvester years ago it broke down and had to hire a case for a week
He saved roughly 110 gallons on the weeks work in comparison
You’ll have to get the kverneland fast bale out for a demo soon, be interesting to see how it compares against the fusion.
Two heavy and slow
You need to try a valtra N175v for comparison. Sisu engine just like the 6499 👍💪 loads of power.
Kubota are a very good product
Maybe a bit unfair comparing the turning axis on the 3075 against a large 175hp tractor 😊 Classy machine that Kubota.
Great video Phil would you buy a Kubota it looks a good tractor great drone footage 👍👍🚜👍
They have come a long way these Kubota's :) Wonder how it would be with the CVT transmission :) How's the price compared to a 6S.180?
I’ve got a 172 KVT one it’s a decent machine
Tbh what i do is on the last 3 or 4 rows for the day I watch how much goes to make a bale then i sort of guess when i can knock out 2x 3/4 bales instead of having half a bale left but its our own use i do, some might not want the cost charged
Just need a MF 6S next for a loaner.
Would you change your rake for a fresher one to save you having breakdowns with your one
Hi Phil,
What was the litres per bale rate on the Kabota?
Is there adjustment on the steering?
With the 6499 if you put the dial in speed then you don't have to use your clutch
Fine looking tractor ferguson is looking good too
Do a deal on her for the season on a view to buy thats alot of money its not like diesel will go bk to where it was do the maths over 3 yrs ud have the tractor well on they way to be paid for
Did you apologise to bro for your loss of composure over the rake comments ..🤣
Farmer phil nice tractor, wat kind of money 💰 is she
I hope you Bro remembered to top the tractor up with oil !
Do you think you’ll ever upgrade to a fusion 3 or any other baler
You see alot of high horse power 4cly valtras alot lately
Would ye ever get a demo zetor crystal hd 170
any sign the jcb fastrac coming ?
They're good looking tractors, but they still have a long way to go inside the cab. Claas Arion all day long 💪
So we'll know when the winter is coming in because Eric will be wearing shorts.
Get clarkes to drop off a valtra n175 for a fuel comparison
A great tractor sold in America as versatile there is a company in the UK or maybe they are a dealership they paint the rims black looks away better definitely one to watch
The bigger M8 is built by Versatile in Canada, and sold in the US as both Versatile and Kubota M8. But that's the only connection with Versatile, all other Kubota models are sold in the US under their own name.
@@damjord as far as I am aware kubota bought a share in the versatile company they also own McConnell Cleveland Viking along with a number of other companies I think definitely a tractor watch out for
Make the change man. You won’t look back.
If it's built like the old Kubota compact tractors then it should go on forever, although I'm always a bit sceptical of newer technology and pushing a smaller engine to its limits. Recognise some of those buttons and indicator stalks from the Alexander Dennis buses I drive now, I suppose the parts bin is cheaper than making your own!
It is cheaper indeed. Alexander Dennis are saving quite a bunch of money by doing that.
it's 4 cylinder but 6.1 L engine
@@jahzon123 Didn't realise that, some of the other comments I've heard made me think it must be much smaller than that. I'm no mechanic but to me that seems like it should be well capable as shown in the video!
@@Mojoe44 i have m7 133 and its run lely rp435 just fine, i have 480 h atm and its cosume about 7.4 l per hour but i run It 1500 RPM max on thouse speed you have top N-m of power
Great video phil and great job flying the drone bro while driving you and phil are really good at that. 2 things phil would it be able to to power the SAMASZ butterfly mowers or Evan your to mowers and I now it is your busy season but when do you think you will be able to fix the 3075 so it can go on the rake
The 6290 is the rake tractor now as that's bro's tractor
But the thing is, is she heavy enough for the baler just to keep her power on the group u know like on a hills 🤔
Hello Kubota bought into Herliman tractors a few years ago so that they could keep selling tractors in Europe,they are sold in Herliman green around the world Jubota orange in Europe,went to a Kubota show in 2008 when first 135 hp tractor was introduced ,tractor and loader sold on the day for £35000
we run smaller kubota's and they are fantastic. anyone who slates them is mad. they are so damn capable and solid its unreal.
Everyone blabs on about these “compact” high horsepower 4cylinders’ but they’re not compact at all , when you look at the drone footage the kubota is just as big or bigger than the 6cylinder 6290!
Demo a 6718s massey
We seen you to day
A very good tractor for their price
Just a matter of getting used to the shuttle
Did you ever use a zetor tractor for working
Not a bad tractor for their price
Whats the price tag on them ?
Phil I'm curious, when father Phil or anyone else for that matter gets stuck or bogs out do you fill in those ruts/holes with earth before the new crop gets started or do you just leave it alone?
We’ll go down with the disc Harrow or power Harrow and fill it in
youll have to get a valtra n175 smart touch on demo absolute pocket rockets
Two technical haha
Don’t need all that electronic rubbish on a tractor, engine, hydraulics, gears, pto and steering is all you need
farmer phil likes it so move with the times
Buy a 7480 tier 3 for baler
Where's the 3075 on the rake
There is a guy I watch on TH-cam from the US called "Western truck and tractor repair" check him out "rant on the Kubota"
I see a full recycle bin
Let's try a get Phil to 100,000 subscribers Patrick in Meath
whe have ah newholland t7.170 asballer tractor 6 cilinder 12 our days its doing about.120 liters zo 10 liter an our
Do you always bale in Economy mode? Neighbour damaged internals on his jd 6800 baling here a couple of years age. Was told that E is for light duties only.
It is for light duties🤦🏼♂️😂
We bale in eco
The head mechanic that was out showing me the tractor said she’d be able for it so I said grand
540eco in most modern tractors is really a 750. Our jd6800 only had 540e and 1000, had zero issues and it did alot of mowing and slurry mixing.
We've a t7.235 now and it does all the baling in 540e
Using eco PTO gears for heavy work is no issue for ZF backends. It's only for light work in some tractors, it depends on how the tractor is specced. JD have a bad reputation for breaking PTO gears when driving fusions
Oh just go and buy it Philip.
Great video like all ways if you baled 4000 hrs the saving from the 99 would pay for it no brainer would pay for it's self
Could you demo a mccormick tractor or case tractor
He cant ask for a tractor he usually gets offered by theses people
Does the maths include ad blue in the cost?
No as I’ve never bought any before😂
10:30 Is my monior having issues, or your camera, or is that Kubota red?
How many bales would you get out of a roll of net
all depends on how much u put on each bale ...........
🚜🚜🚜😎😎😎👍
I thought eco540 was for only light work
Me too. But it's only a demo tractor...no harm if it breaks 🤣
When will yee fix the 6480
When the next 6290 breaks down 😂
The new tractor is not at its full fuel usage or power because she still needs to open up a bit after its 100 or 200 hour service then it should be at its full power and fuel usage
In theory, yes especially in todays market and the cost of fuel, using a big 4 cylinder appears to be the better choice but in reality that engine will never see high hours, i imagine the maths is close once all considered but I would go with reliability all day long and I believe a six cylinder would be the best pick
Ypu wrong the modern 4 cylinders are as reliable as a 6
a good friend has a mf 6616 with 15 thousand hours on it with hardly any bother
@@davay42 I suppose, I am definitely a bit biased on the topic but time will tell with these newer machines and do they compare to tractors such as the MF135
