That was a fair days work Andy 👍🏻. I was also mowing today. I used a Bosch34r rotak. Didn’t bother with headlands as this baby can turn on a sixpence. I did 28.75 m2, I used about 5.5p of electric and it took me 15 minutes. I’m happy to lend it to you if yours starts playing up 👍🏻😁
I run a 8340 ford with the same rear mower as you just finished mowing 138 acres and used 210 litres of desiel and two flasks of coffee and a litre of water
Farming is hard work. I did it for years when I was a young fella but decided to drive a truck instead of staying in the farming business. And now that I'm an old fart, I drive a truck part time and work on a farm part time. Now a days I enjoy the farming a lot more than driving a truck.
I usually drive a John Deere 9520rx to do chisel ploughing in rice fields here in Northern California. Tractor usually burns 700 plus litres in a 12 hour shift. It is the best tractor I’ve ever driven power, comfort ease of use. It’s a fair big change from the aul Massey Ferguson 185 I use to drive on my dads farm in Ireland. Have a safe and productive season!
I just started playing farming simulator 2019.... it is way addictive. I've never even thought of farming stuff... that game has made me want to see these big machines for real. This guy is good... he shows us everything... I'll be watching more.
Yo Andy !!! The joys of auto steer and the joys of mowing square strips with no triangles at the end of em in all the fields must be something to treasure fella!! The amount of trees at the opposite end of the field I picked out when stripping..... omg they always seemed to move ffs!!! Anyhoo the set up you have and at a rate of 2.5 or so ltrs per acre is fantastic.....!!! Stay safe and give Eric a good rub on the noggin for me!! Cracking vid lad!!
So you came up in my recommended as i worked on a farm few years ago and miss it like mad. So glad youtube recommended yourself. Loved this video and plan on watching loads more tonight not an early night for me lol.
We've had to say goodbye to our 23 year old Pöttinger rear mower. It's been a good couple of years. Our new mower arrived yesterday, a Pronar TDR 300 rear mower. We'll see how she handles the next cut.
I run Kuhn 9.5m non conditioning triples on a Fastrac 4220 in S.Island NZ. I cut up to 120ha per day and average 3 l/ha when mowing,I generally chop through a full tank on the Fastrac in a 12 hour day. That's very good fuel economy from the Sisu/agco motor.
I'm using non-conditioning mowers,plus one more 3M mower, 1/3 less trips around the paddock and less effort to run,so your figures are spot on you maths wizard.
We just mowed first cut here in the Netherlands. We use a massey Ferguson 6270. With a krone 320 mower without conditioner and a krone 283 mower with conditioner. For a total of nearly 6 meter working with. We were doing about 30 hectares that day. We finished in 10 hours and used about 160 liters of diesel. However I might add it was really heavy cut. Grass was toler than the front mower
I mow with a remapped New Holland t7 210 and triples. Round here in South Wales nearly every field is a slope so mowing obviously uses more diesel. I was mowing a 150 acre farm the other day. Mowed about 100 acres and had to go and fill up, it took 300l. Then mowed the rest and used another 100l. that's 400l and was only about a 12 hour day. The type of grass we have around here is usually quite dense and the conditioners really have their work cut out. On a typical day mowing I will normally catch a few stones and have to replace some blades. Farmers don't know their fields like they used to nor do they bother to roll them.
Great video Andy, looks a fair size crop, could of done a crop of grass seed and baled it for hay two years running, you won't be getting a new Holland then, mowers doing a good job, hope round up still about in two years to spray it off before you plough it.
Fair bit of grass there. To cut my grass, fuel use will be approximately half a kit kat. No tractor required. Great video. Can't wait to see the follow up videos.
Another great farming video and a great example of man and machine in harmony, especially when its a green machine as they are the best by far. Keep on rolling Andy, here's to the next one. Cheers.
U might be a mainly arable boy but u got to admit u can't beat a bit of green fever. Our jd mounted rear is ready to go but not got a call for it yet. Well done for getting the leveret to safety
Hi there love the video good work it been a Long time since I have done grass work but this year I have gone back to it after about 15 years away from it because I have been arable manager on a farm The farm I worked on has been rented out this year soI have gone back to being a contractor now so all new
Nice size hay fields. The drone footage of the area of the country you farm an are from looks nice. My John Deere lawnmower goes two weeks before it needs refueling. Lol.
Great Vid. one thing i will say for the new autopowr gearbox in the johndeere tractors there is a massive torque increase as when we got the a new tractor we got the same horespower just the new autopowr gearbox and its so much better, really noticable on the drill as the old tractor with the old direct gearbox was constantly on its knees. can't wait to try it out on the baler. would love to someday get one with a joystick.
Bravo ; Great video / Great machines. Canadian farmers- American farmers mow / bale their hay ; Late June ; Early July . Canadian farmers Love John Deere Farm Equipment . Greetings from Canada .
I loved mowing, the smell was great, all I have to go on now is mowing the lawn lol On another note, my son's best mate lost his crazy spaniel to a tumour, had to be put down, he was a great dog, apparently my son says his mates dad was crying and very upset, its like loosing a family member, the need a new crazy spaniel now :-) I hear that is the plan :-) rip archie
Nice video Andy, with great machinery of JD, Eric! All works well, with great instructions. Thanks 👍🏻 With the one handle controllign everything is very nice also. Has this JD is CVT like Fendt or is it with power shift or else? Am not that familiar with JD, but looks as a modern machine as well. Happy also to discover you have zones or stewardstrips as you call them at the side of the parcels for where nature & biodiversity purpose with flower wildlife preservation! Great to see guys 😊👌
We have a krone 13 foot 3 inch mower this is it's second season and we also have a small krone mower which is about 5 or 6 foot it is pretty old we bought both mowers brand new the small one mostly does topping in the cows padocks it also mows bits of silage where you can't use the big mower.i don't know how much fuel we burn in a day though
doin like 20ha in about 5 hours with a fendt 716 with krone mowers 3m front and a mounted 3,6m in the back. fuel usage comes to around 13 liter/h but we are only going around 12kph.
At 15 kmh with front and rear mounted mower and 215R we were using between 28 and 35 litres an hour depending on crop. 6830 with 1x 1365 mower between 19 and 25 litres an hour.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing It's curious that the second mowing attachment is located at the back, and quite away from the tractor : wouldn't that be much easier to have this additional mower side by side up front, or at least at the very side of the driver (let or right) ? you could drive without having to look backwards half of the time
Hello from Greece !! Mowing 180 acres of alfalfa today with a John Deere 6920 , pottinger a-motion on the front (3m) , Kuhn fc 353 rgc on the back (3,5m)
@@Itsafarminglifeforme hi bud. I know I didn't know you had your own channel on here. Yer it has indeed bud. Nothing has changed. Should meet up at some point
Couple of questions Andy. Why not invest in triples. And how come no A frame for the front mower. Great video btw. I work for a contractor down in pembs. and I think the boys do about 3-400 acres a day with their triples. Not too sure. I don’t drive the tractors. I’m on the truck. And use about 250 litres a day carrying grain. Etc.
I really like how he explains everything hes doing
Amazing to think that you can cover that much mowing in one day and no mechanical breakdowns, absolute credit to you, fantastic Andy.
They have no stones in their land, bit different here in ireland 😂
That was a fair days work Andy 👍🏻.
I was also mowing today. I used a Bosch34r rotak. Didn’t bother with headlands as this baby can turn on a sixpence. I did 28.75 m2, I used about 5.5p of electric and it took me 15 minutes. I’m happy to lend it to you if yours starts playing up 👍🏻😁

Did grass on the back garden,only took 8 cans of larger lol
Is that similar to lager?

To all farmers young and old. keep safe around farm machinery like the machine

Good, solid farming video showing a good job done well. Nice to see a JD being put through it's paces and doing what it was built for👍
Cutting hay is still one of my favourite jobs. 🚜
call it grass here in the uk
Robert S hat is cut in uk and Ireland too
You cut Grass and dry it into hay ;)
Are you an English teacher and a farmer bob
InstaBlaster.
I helped my neighbor with mowing, and we did about 250 hectares in eight hours. We where two triplets working together.

Very impressive fast mowing and looking after the wildlife another good vid 🚜👍🏴
Good going! The drone shots looked great, they must help with sense of achievement when you see all those rows from above!
Videos always made better with an appearance from Eric! Fields look awesome once cut from the air.. a good days work!
My favourite job. Nice set up mate.
I run Kuhn 9.5m non conditioning triples on a Fastrac 4220 in S.Island NZ.
I cut up to 120ha per day and average 3 l/ha when mowing,I generally chop through a full tank on the Fastrac in a 12 hour day.
That's very good fuel economy from the Sisu/agco motor.
So 296 acres on 360l of diesel, is 1.2l an acre, that's 1.1 litre less than Andy's doing here. So about half the fuel used?
I'm using non-conditioning mowers,plus one more 3M mower, 1/3 less trips around the paddock and less effort to run,so your figures are spot on you maths wizard.
Good going to get all mowed in a day. Mowing is with out doubt my favorite job. Doing ours next week.... 😛😊👌

Great mowing Andy.very very good fuel.usage compared to mowing with a smaller tractor with one mower
great first cut video mate my briggs ans stratton mower with 2 feet power get a tank a week 😂😂

Great video I love silage season, sadly don't farm anymore but love these videos you do . Thanks 👍🏻
That is a cool setup. I use a Massey Ferguson 2705e with a rear bush hog. Takes me about 3 Days to do 40 acres with about 10 gallons of full.

Now then Andy. Cut 60 acre yesterday then filled up before moving away from farm. Used 166 litres. 4.5 hours to cut.
JD 7290R and a JF gxt 13005 and a jf gxf 3605. Did 52 ha in 4 hours on 4 fields. used about 280-300 ltr diesel.
How come the drone footage of the freshly cut grass with all the rows look so beautiful!!

1st cut - 1st clean, dry machinery outing of the year. Can't beat blue skies, lush green grass and gleaming kit to kick the winter blues in the nads.
Really enjoyed that video ,used to love mowing !

Awesome video. The water you’re drinking is called Game? here in the States it’s called Evian same picture of the mountains
We use a massey ferguson 6465 dyna 5 with 2 fella mowers and it takes almost a full 300 liter tank for mowing 40 hectares.
Great stuff Andy
What's the difference between this combination and a 3 point linkage behind? Which combination is more practical?
Great vid good work with the young Hare
Won't be any mowing for me this year with the coronavirus unfortunately. This video makes up for it a bit though. Good job.

Absolutely loving the videos Andy!
Great Video again Andy hope the weather holds out
why is the dash board flashing
Good job andy
As an answer of how many litres se use mowing. With a Class Xerion, a pottinger 301 and two novacat rear. In 160 acres I used 330 litres

Yes it is, that’s why I have a Krone Big M
Moving about 18ha by Fendt 312 vario in about 4 hours with claas movers 3m fornt and 3,5m back. 64 liters for all of it but fields were close to farm
Where did you get your cab rail from? Yours looks lover than the others I’ve seen online they look like they might block vision with the big mirrors
Great video love that kit your using 😎🤙🏻
Last week I got over 90 acres in 8 hours with a 6130 m and a 635 Moco used a full tank 42 gallons
Sure work in a beautiful part of the world there Andy , no trees up here like that in the far north of Scotland.
Cheers from the states!
I am a contractor in Ireland and I have a fendt 1050 and fendt front and back mowers
how do you find mowing with a front and trailed rear oppose to a front and mounted rear?
