[@ABMFARM]

I know we all have our struggles, but you are making this hooking up to a drum mower a lot harder than it needs to be and i hope anybody watch'n this takes notes on how not to hook up equipment......yes i own one, and just some tips, since it's hay season again,...1, make sure your rear tractor tires have ballast in them these things are heavy, but anything is heavy that far out on the forks. 2, swing that thing in the straight position before you unhook it, and re-hook it in that position. 3 , put the pto shaft on the mower before you hook it to the tractor only take it off in the winter and store it inside, 4 always always hook the lower left hand non adjustable arm first, then adjust the other one with the adjustable turnbuckle, makes life a lot easier. 5 hook pto to tractor before the top link. Good Luck and be safe

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We're new at this...might have mentioned this a few times.

[@davehudson4607]

No kidding! 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Exactly!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Certainly different from RC planes, great tractor and attachment 👍🏻

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It sure is - Thanks ;) We had a bunch of this stuff waiting for the perfect day - but BACK to our mainstay TODAY ;) P.S. We missed the most critical step - Baling the Hay - when we take hay out of the field, I get super stressed, since once it's cut, you're basically a prisoner to ole Mother Nature (I have another name for her, but can't say the second half here - LOL)... We plan to publish footage of that step from our next cutting. We hope the Fertilizer test we did the other day (also published same day as this video...but a few months later, chronologically) will help guide our decision on what fertilize choice will work best. They quoted us 1400 lbs of the 20/10/10...so it would be a slightly larger investment than we made - LOL...but we probably need to do it, given the thickness of the grass hay currently. I would prefer to have cows pasture and just naturally replenish the ground, but since we want to make a runway of the back part, it would be a rutty disaster, potentially. Lots to consider, and we're BAD farmers so far ;) Thanks for checking in!

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@BrianPhillipsRC I will keep a look out for others, I find it interesting, I guess you are pushing your self to do this because of the runway? Sounds fun anyhow 👍🏻

[@impactrc6427]

I have 22 acres and just bought KUBOTA KX91 (Mini excavator 3 ton) best investment ever!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Right on! We'd love to have a bit more land - just over 10 acres for us, and it's crazy how fast a small acreage will swallow up a nice, but small 1025R - I still have a special place in my heart for that beauty!!!

[@crutch958]

Nice Kioti!!!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! I love it!

[@marcelb4872]

very good video

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks

[@petegrant1721]

Have same mower on cs2610 lifts it no problems brought mine straight from manufacturer Cost me less than 10000 au $ 135 mower Hay rake / tedder 870 mini round baler And a wrapper

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's a great deal!

[@mrmaddog69]

Great videos in this batch 😎 BTW It will be a lot easier on your PTO clutch to engage it at a very low speed and then throttle up to the running speed you want to run at

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the tip! Too bad It's tough when you're on a run with this tractor. The Engine speed and drive speed doesn't match as easy as I'd like at times. The JD system would be better in that regard, but I LOVE this tractor in almost every other way ;)

[@timvanasen6711]

Hey Brian my JD 4066 has the option for the "kill ya" button or the lever like yours in the rear I chose the lever it's something you need to ask for cause your sales rep won't mention it, JD gurus prefer you use the button because the sensus is people like pushing buttons lol, good thing I like lever's, great pointers for new land owner's Brian I learned as a youngster watching my Dad, owning land that you care about is not cheap or easy, so my wife noticed Megan's green toenails cute 😉👍🚜

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! I agree that - "kill yourself" push button is a hillarious, and crazy feature, but pretty cool none the less. We looked at a 4 Series, but about 8 inches too high for our garage ;( Oh well, it would have also been a few bucks more - LOL (Few). P.S. When you're in the market for a new tractor....don't kill me for suggesting this, but you gotta check out a Kioti - I was AMAZED I ended up in this tractor, but have loved it.

[@timvanasen6711]

@@BrianPhillipsRC the JD 4066 is taller and with 7 attachments now I think & a trailer we've invested around 65 grand so far, I grew up on a JD, I won't kill ya for suggesting a Kioti their excellent tractors and a bit less expensive lol 😉👍🚜

[@petegrant1721]

When you set your height lower arms so it's about the middle of the slot ehind the top link that way it will float better

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'll take a look at this next time I run this machine. Thanks Pete!

[@nekbiodieselworks]

I bought this same drum mower because of your first video about it. I cut the PTO shaft so that it would fit my ford 8n. later I got a massey ferguson 35, low and behold the PTO shaft was too short! dammit.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

NOOOOOOOOOO! I HATE when I cut them too short!!! I just got done cutting two days ago...raked today, and will bale tomorrow or Tuesday, if it's HOT and DRY again. Sorry to hear about your issue, but you'll love this mower when you get it running! Thanks for the feedback too! We kinda get destroyed in the comments because "Farming" is not RC, but I know a lot of other folks have more than one interest, and a lot of us RC enthusiasts have land to take care of ;)

[@nekbiodieselworks]

@@BrianPhillipsRC it has been an absolute godsend. I love using it.

[@MarkSmith-xk2yz]

Brian, thank you so much for you videos on the Titan Drum Mower! It was because of your videos that we bought the drum mower from Titan. We watched all of your 5 hour video and it made assembling/hooking up the drum mower so much easier. We have it now fully ready to go! We are now wanting to buy the same rake and baler you have. We have found the baler from a dealer in PA or NC for $5900 so that is no problem. But we are unable to find the rake - did you import it from somewhere? I apologize if you answer this on another video… We are getting ready to put up our hay for the first time - you and your wife are a real inspiration for us!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

So glad we could help you out with the Drum Mower! As for the Baler, I'm not aware of the distributors you're working with in NC or PA. I'd be curious to know who's selling them, and how they're offering them for so little??? Factory price is higher than that, so I doubt you're looking at the SAME item. As for the rake and baler, we imported them both direct from India. It was quite a bit of work, but so glad we did. LOVE the equipment.

[@seanwynkoop474]

Spektrum Hat? WATCH OUT FOR BROWN OUTS !!! Try openTX ... 32 Channel radio and run your tractor from the front porch ... JUST PICKING on the spektrum guys !!! Love your tractor videos ...and yes.... I didn't know about your RC stuff until I saw your hat ! I have a YANMAR 324 at work .. 25HP and its a little workhouse !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - I love this tractor! We started with a Yanmar in our 1025R and it was AMAZING, but just not enough tractor to get what we needed done...and now we can really get some work done, and not too much more cash, only about 2-3X for a BRAND NEW ONE and with 60hp, up from 25hp, and now with a heated and ac'ed cab - it's just a kings thrown!

[@meirdeaph]

That is awsome!! i wish i could have a tractor

[@meirdeaph]

Do u have to plant the hay at begining of summer?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No, they're perennial grasses, which was one of the reasons we chose Grass Hay, rather than something like Alfalfa.

[@davehudson4607]

Following ABMFARM’s instructions will turn that mower hookup into a 5-10 minute job, and save you a lot of grief and time!

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

Question how many rolls of hay could you put on that flatbed trailer of yours weight wise? When I was a kid I drove the farmall tractor disking grows(Orange groves) Plus a D 18 Caterpillar that’s when I learned all about hydraulics. I loved it, we had all kinds of heavy equipment. Later on in life they operated a petty bone (large forklift that booms out) for a big company.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Depends on what size trailer you're dealing with, I suppose. These mini bales are only about 75 lbs each, but you can next them pretty tight, especially if you have a van trailer ;) I had a buddy who suggested getting a box trailer and just keeping it all until winter to get more money for the hay, but we'd just like to sell it when it's easy.

[@bearbait2221]

SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER!! :)

[@elginsparrowhawk7203]

It would had been better to attach the left lower link arm to your mower first then use the adjuster on the right lower link arm. You will have to raise and lower your linkage to find the spot where you can adjust it to match the left arm, after attaching it to the mower. Check that the link arms are equal (height) in the raised position with a tape measure. Any machine really needs servicing/greasing before use and at least your aware you have a problem with your PTO shaft. As to moving your mower with the loader it would had been better to have left it where you could have attach it to the tractors linkage. You have the option of adding water ballast,wheel weights or possibly different tyre options (?) to aid traction and stability. HST transmissions have their place but a manual gear box with power shuttle would be a better option, ideally with an electric splitter gear.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sounds like you're used to dealing with bigger machinery.

[@crutch958]

I know you want a barn huh. Brian

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

So bad.

[@lukegale9639]

You should get a go pro to video from in the tractor cab then you don’t need camera crew or you can have camera crew and go pro

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I want a windshield mount and chest rig for something of the sort. We're working on some of these upgrades. We just got a new computer to help aid in handling all sorts of behind the scenes things that most of our audience has no idea about...but when we start using editing software rather than just concating using FFMPEG, we'll be better able to accommodate your request.

You guy's need some sheep, goats, or calfs to feed your hay too.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yep, we kinda do!!!

Americans and three point is like trying to mix oil and water 😂😂

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You realize I'm surrounded by millions of acres of farmland with hundreds of thousands of tractors, all with 3 points. I'm just a city guy who's learning how to do this stuff. Don't make this about America...it's about ME.

[@glennlingard7851]

@@BrianPhillipsRCactually…there probably is hundreds of thousands of tractors all with three point but to an Englishman, you guys suck at it, and of course your not on your own, hope you get used to a system that isn’t popular in your country.

Farmer Brian you should plant yourself a crop of corn next year I hear prices of food or soaring

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I would love to plant some sweet corn.

[@camomaster6316]

Yes the price of Commodities is up at the moment but they always leave out the part about the input costs rising also. I farm for a living and trying to book fertilizer and chemicals for next year some stuff has doubled. Farming is handling a lot of money and not getting to keep much of it.

[@hbb3367]

it sucks when you find out your shaft is not long enough.

[@bcflyer99]

Nothing but hay "flying" here, but interesting nevertheless. You could review/present just about anything and make it look interesting.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! We love sharing this stuff, but realize much of our audience might just skip right over it. That's okay ;) When people want to copy what we've done in our family, we want to help kinda give an idea of not only what we're up to, but HOW we got where we are. Most just want to see the planes fly, but don't want to know how we "made the sausage" LOL Thanks again!

[@jasonbrown2060]

Why would a guy bother with a 54” mower? That’s even small for a zero turn. I realize they are different, but you won’t get anything done with. 54z

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Do you know of a larger one I could carry? I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

P.S. I can run at near full speed, and cut nicely with this 54" mower...my zero turn couldn't even make it 2 feet in grass this tall...just a different setup. I would love a wider cut, but it's been one of the areas we haven't really had issues with in our haying experience.

Life would be so lame if we were all so one dimensional as you suggest. It took me AND my wife 3.5 decades of busting our asses to even be in a position to do these things. Some of us don't have family who just gives us 500 acres, a 150,000+ square foot work shop, filled with $2.5 million worth of farm machinery and countless hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tools. Some of us have to go figure out how to get it for ourselves! We're DOING it!
