    Best of luck with your new mower Richard, never seen that type of mower bed with 3 blades before. Great addition to the any farm 👍

    • @arwelagrimachinery
      @arwelagrimachinery ปีที่แล้ว

      I wont ruine the guessing game but company that makes fert spreaders always had 3 blades on the mowers , the company sticker on his mower bought a famous plough company that had themselves bought the famous fert spreader company years ago , wouldn't mind trying one to see if the extra one lets you go faster

    Harry, top answer to the can I miss school tomorrow question 😂

    @paulf2529 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Changing the blades is an easy job with an impact wrench. If you have a decent cordless drill then buy a body only impact wrench of the same brand and use your drill battery and charger.
    Even a cheap lidl parkside impact wrench that you just leave in the cab will work.
    Personly i have a 1/2 dewalt brushless that i use, aaves loads of time and has yet to fail on a wheel nut.

    That's 99% quieter than the massey mower

    I love machinery. Always have. But I am peculiar in that I don't like new stuff anymore. There was a time when I wanted the latest and greatest. But by about mid 80's that changed. Everything started getting more complicated. Everything built down to a price. Not designed to last. Computers controlling all functions. Not being able to work on them yourself. Emissions crap. There is little to love for me in new machinery. The older I get. The worse I get. I could go back to a horse.

      @jonharvey2177 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ditto with tractors. After circa late 90's amd early 00's have lost interest. Same as cars; just computers on wheels. Boring!

  • @Fireman9ify
    @Fireman9ify ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Knverland bought taarup and then bought vicon, then kubota bought Knverland. Saw triple blades on a vicon before. Plenty of heritage a long established mower with Japanese quality.

    Well done on the new equipment, much needed. Don’t forget to grease every time you put it on and take it off, bit of grease reduces the maintenance

    ah Kubota i would have never quess that lol, dint even know they made mowers

  • @macfarms
    @macfarms ปีที่แล้ว +2

    heading into our 3rd season on a Kubota mower, no complaints. We found the 3 blades cut short 2nd and 3rd crop a lot nicer than the 2 blade.

    • @calumanderson5617
      @calumanderson5617 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm still waiting for that Kubota guy and his sweet deal he had to comment.🙄👍

    Something where to be… matches well with the tractor,,, and the headstock looks strong

  • @neilporter3286
    @neilporter3286 ปีที่แล้ว

    Perhaps the reason Harry preferred the Kavernerland variant of this mower is that it would save him having to correct your pronunciation every time to say Kubota (or is it Kubuto?). Joking aside, the 2.4m width should save you time and diesel with your “hell of a crop of grass” 😀

    New equipment is always cool. So I pulled a Richard yesterday and spilled a line of fertilizer about a 1000 feet. Ground driven spreader and I forgot to disengage the drive wheel.

    One Funky Farmer and Two dogs went to mow🎶 Looks like the right decision for you Rich. Great that you could use the same supplier - hopefully your loyalty is rewarded. Any Lagoon update?

    "Well wear!" Great choice there and it will serve you well for years! As we say here in Ireland "You have to cut your cloth to measure!" ie there is no need for excess or waste! Many thanks!

    @ianhaggart1438 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    AS they used to say..... Ohh suit's you sir suit's you.... 😊 😂 . Looks like a good purchase for your farm .. I'm wondering if you can get a deflection plate for under the mower so it's then not sticking out the back.. I'd either whack my shin or bend it within an hour or so 😂... stay safe Richard and Co 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Ps that's a hell of a high crop of grasssssss.

  • @crimsonsunshine264
    @crimsonsunshine264 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done with the new purchase Richard, sounds to run much more quietly than the red one! That alone has got to be better long term for your health! Just need to get that Massey hitched off the muck spreader and on to the front of the new mower now!! Would be a much better tractor for the job , better visibility nice shuttle nice pto switch faster hydraulics with better spool lever position good passenger seat and best of all no loader in the way!

  • @fin_farm_photography2082

    That should be a good mower Richard 👍🏻 basically a vicon mower because they are built in the same factory.

  • @TMSibleyHorticultural
    @TMSibleyHorticultural ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have the same mower!! Great little mower. One thing I learnt was there is a working and parked leaver on the ram if it’s in parked it won’t pick up all the way and you can’t get the pin in to lock in transport mode. You may have already worked it out but just thought I’d say as the company I bought it off didn’t know why it wasn’t going fully up. Love the vids

  • @christian_9166
    @christian_9166 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hy Richard
    I Think you did the right thing, Thats Vicon technique, because kubota bought Vicon/Kverneland and with the 3 blades per disc the mowing Quality is very good
    I wish you good luck with the mower

    • @kieranosullivan02
      @kieranosullivan02 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is it only vicon that does 3 blades? Ive seen some with some without but never noticed which brands. 3 in my head seems a no brainer over 2 so not sure why it's that way

  • @laytonphillips6667

  • @Waltonsbeeffarm
    @Waltonsbeeffarm ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's an exact copy of a Vicon mower in kubota colors, had 2 of those mowers here over the years, grand mower.
    Best of luck with it, don't hit too many stones or you'll be worn changing blades 😂

  • @richardfarenden1215

    Well done on the new mower Richard but i notice no one has picked up on the two dogs in the field , they should not have been there , if a rabbit had run out of the grass those dogs would have chased them and could have run in to mower ????? did you see Farmer P and the fawn when he was mowing .

  • @paulweston2326

    Great video once again Richard and what a great mower. Sorry if the comments got a little too much about the previous mower I'm sure as a community we just wanted to make sure you were making the right choice to go forward none of us would of wanted to make you feel like that.. and you need to do what is viable for yourselves and the business I guess like everything when you have numbers going through your head different people different companies it all winds through your mind and can get overwhelming... But with that new mower wow you'll have your fields knocked down in no time keep up the great videos 👍👍 and all the best to yourself and the family ❤

  • @stuartsmith7618

    Looks like a nice mower ,quite simply and and easy to use and maintain just what you want, …. It will cut that HELL OF CROP OF GRASS!!!!! Nicely. Crack on !!! I wonder where that massive fire was in the background of your video looked big

  • @FarmersSss
    @FarmersSss ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That mower you bought is actually a Kubota branded vicon. Vicon are the only mower to have the triple blade disk system. You are correct, Kubota own kvernland but also vicon.
    Any mower will be fine really so the deal which you are happy with is the best deal for you. Its the same as any machinery, if you look after it and not abuse it then it should serve you well.

  • @geraldbeard856
    @geraldbeard856 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done Richard on the new mower, I think the majority of us will be pleased you went for the 2.4 metre size ......your tractor seems to handle it with ease. and if it's basicaly a kverneland mower just in different colours i'm sure it will last you many years. As you quite rightly say you have to do things on a farm in baby steps and not all at once.

    @steveC2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Richard slow folding will be flow restrictors on the mower ram or pipe work to stop it ripping itself apart . Some comments recommend adjusting the tractor spool flow which it doesn't have, others suggest your tractors knackered just because it's got a new mower hung on it, I think not. By the way June 26th 8pm popmaster TV on more4

  • @lauriepearce8266
    @lauriepearce8266 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the slow lifting is more to do with the hydraulic pump flow on your McCormick than a issue with the mower. Farmer P remarked on how much faster the hydraulics on the new tractors he tried out were compared to his Case. All to do with Gallons per minute. Or should that be Litres per minute . Harry reminds me of just how keen I was at his age to be allowed to drive tractors.
