I understand your concern since it’s hooked to a Deere. Yes I put a stand under the back. If it had been hooked to the Kubota I’d have just left it alone since there wouldn’t have been a chance of failure 😂! Thanks for watching
I’m glad to see you getting ready for mowing and cleaning season and I’m looking forward to seeing the JD in action enjoyed as always till the next one
Ben, your videos are always thrilling!!! When I still farmed, I ran Kuhn and John Deere (made by Kuhn back then) disc mowers, and it was a wrestle to hook up. I really do like that hook-up on the Vermeer. I always did my maintenance a month or two before hay season started so I wouldn't be in the field changing blades. Good video. Keep the camera rolling!
Good Evening My friend 😇👌👍I can see that you have fun with your New Green John Deere 👍👌😇 That cutting blade will be Very Nicely Sharpened 😇👌👍Have a nice TGIF Sir and Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING WORK Mon Ami Cheers 🍻🍻
Hello Ben, Used to take me a week to do all the farm Maintenance, keeping things under cover pays big dividends now, along with battery grease guns, Take Care and Stay Safe my friend 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I’ve found running a wire brush over the pins to clean them up before trying to put them back in with the blade makes it a lot easier. I clean the turtle out as well so the clips go in smoother.
I work on hay equipment (mostly Vermeer) for a living. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything. Thanks for the great content you put out!
I like the way those blades clip into the mower and the overall way that vemeer is built, be glad you bought one when you did, i havent priced them but i bet they are at least 12grand now maybee 15
It’s always good to see someone put the effort into preparing equipment ahead of the season rather that waiting until it breaks when you need it the most. The world needs more people like you to show how it’s done.
Great job Ben on replacing the blades on the mower.That looked like it was simply and easy,I think that a bigger hammer would have been better.Did that tool come with the mower? Take care, be safe and have a blessed day.🚜👍👏❤️🙏
I sharpen my brush hog blades the same way I used to take them off. Then I just started doing it while attached. Also even at $1800 that's not bad. I unfortunately need a medium duty 84" brush hog and they are anywhere from $6000-$7500.
Great video Ben. Taking care of the things that take care of you. Very important lessons to learn in this disposable society. How many times I've been surprised when checking fluid levels I thought did not need to be checked... Have a great day my friend.
I’ve got the same old 6’ heavy duty bush hog brand that my grandpa had its 40+yrs old, he never put a grinder on his blades, he always took them off & forged an edge on them, he said if you put a grinder on them it takes metal away from it & if you forge an edge on them they stay balanced thus not putting wear & tear from vibration on your tractor but even more on your gearbox!!! However I’ve put 1 gearbox on it about 20yrs ago & have never took the blades off, I’ve used a grinder to replenish the edge. So whether it’s true or which is better I’m not sure but only 1 gearbox in over 40yrs is pretty good wouldn’t you think!! They don’t build them as heavy duty as this one is anymore!!
Put a socket and extension through the dick hole on the blade bolts and that'll hold a stumpjumper from turning. Then put some vice grips on the blade up against the stumpjumper. It helps. Nice video
Love video as always. I was wondering if you blocked up the brush hog so it couldn’t fall on you? I just didn’t see anything

Thanks for sharing Ben and have a great week!
Appreciate you watching!

I definitely think the Deere will do good! Thanks for watching
Thanks for bringing us along. Have a blessed week Ben!! #60👍
Thank you!

Yes the hookup design is nice! Thanks for watching!

Thank for watching Dave! Hope your weather has warmed up now!
Hello Ben. I hope all is well. It is always great to maintain your equipment. ( Ask Dave lol.) It won't be long before you are cutting hay. Take care
Our hay is growing very slow, it’s been dry. I need to hire Dave as a mechanic! Thanks for watching
So much maintenance you should have had Dave from RCAFpolarexpress to jump in on the work! Good video!
Yes I need Dave as a neighbor! Thanks for watching
See that you're hard at it this morning. It's differently that time of year again. I've done mowed our yard a couple times so far.
It’s been so dry here we’ve only mowed twice, usually it would be needing mowed weekly this time of year. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors it's the same way here. I've only mowed twice myself. You're welcome
Hello Ben, Used to take me a week to do all the farm Maintenance, keeping things under cover pays big dividends now, along with battery grease guns, Take Care and Stay Safe my friend 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Yes keeping equipment out of the elements really helps! Thanks for watching Larry!
Great video buddy always a good video 👍
Thank you!!
I’ve found running a wire brush over the pins to clean them up before trying to put them back in with the blade makes it a lot easier. I clean the turtle out as well so the clips go in smoother.
Yes I need to take more time to clean and lubricant the pins next time. Thanks for watching
Thanks for publishing your videos. I’ve watched a number of them, and have taken good tips from them.

Tanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!

Oh I’m sure they priced way more now! I’d like to know. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors I mite be afraid to price one lol
Ben You always make maintenance look so easy. Thanks for the heads up on how to stay ahead of problems.
Appreciate you watching buddy!

I really appreciate that!

Yeah a bigger hammer would help. The tool came with the mower, I need to lubricate those pins. Thanks for watching
We just got done replacing blades on our disc mower too.its a Massey Ferguson dm it doesn’t have those quick clips to put blades on that’s nice
I like this clip system. Thanks for watching

I wanted a heavier duty bush hog but couldn’t justify the cost. Thanks for watching

Your right, you don’t always see leaks but somehow the oil level is low. My BX had a low oil level in the front axle from the factory. Thanks watching
Always good to get a head start on the seasonal maintenance, thanks for sharing the processes!
Appreciate you watching!
I always wondered what was under that cover on the disc mower!
I’ll try to get some video of it mowing under the cover this year! Thanks for watching

Appreciate the advice! Thanks for watching
@@khtractors yessir, you help me out a lot by watching your videos so I’m way behind on helping you
Put a socket and extension through the dick hole on the blade bolts and that'll hold a stumpjumper from turning.
Then put some vice grips on the blade up against the stumpjumper.
It helps.
Nice video
Thanks for watching
I didn't see Karen getting a ride on the tractor with you!
No no rides 😂! Thanks for watching
How do you like your enorossi tedder I am looking at same tedder
I have no regrets! It’s the best quality you can get for the price point! Thanks for watching
What brand is you disc mower?
Vermeer, really well built cutter! Thanks
Do you ever sharpen your teeth?
No, usually they are pretty beat up by the time I replace them. Thanks for watching
I know you can't do it and get anything done but would like to see a close up of one of those
I would like to do that also! I’ll see if I can figure out a way to get some video of it cutting under the cover! Thanks
