HOW TO FIT A HEDGE TRIMMER AND FULL PROTECTION GUARDS ON A TRACTOR.

[@ktm-bc1dw]

Man that tractor is better than any sports car glad your keeping her safe. Great video

[@spideybrent]

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@shaneprior]

NIce one Adrian, a great man for safety, and taking care of your equipment, keep at her lad!

[@derekmawhinney8733]

Hi Adrian I lifted the bolts out at the front of the seat and replaced them with slightly longer ones and sandwiched a flat plate between the floor and seat. Had a bracket similar to yours welded on first and means you can leave it in with out removing your passenger seat and steady as a rock. Great videos thanks

[@johng2567]

The tractor guard is a great job. You should pick up a window blade/cleaner for about €2 in Mr. Price or somewhere. It's a great job for tidying the guard if you've been out cutting in the rain and leaves start sticking to it and help clear condensation.

[@eoinmchugh5324]

Ya can’t beat that extra bit of length Adrian. Those extra few inches, many’s a lad that was hung for them….. good video… keep her lit

[@Dermot501]

You are taking the time to look after your machinery so it won't let you down when needed.Hopefully you will have trouble free hedge cutting.Good work.👍

Great video Adrian, on putting on hedgecutter it can go wrong v quick, happened me, had to go for neighbours tractor n loader. I now take off hedgecutter against wall of silage pit wit railway sleepers underneath, v little movement now putting it on. Make sure n turn in wing mirror before u start hedgecutting. U have 7615 looking well for the job, keep up the good work 👍

[@amdvideos3610]

Have the same thinking. Will find an alternative to drilling and cutting. Keeping machines well is vital. Covers are worth it.

[@eoingilsenan2461]

Oh baby it’s Sunday and it’s video o’clock 😍😍

[@tudurhughes1401]

Be sure to grease each end of the rotor every four hours or so to keep them bearings lubricated , their a constant working part when in operation . I take my mchonnel off with the arm backwards so that i dint have to mess about with jacks , hooks on in 5 minutes 👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes very important, I grease it every morning. My hedge cutter doesn’t swing around so it’s can be a pig to put on and take off

[@jonathanohagan6343]

Adrian, I think the stands you mentioned about making for it will great improve this procedure for you. Also I am fairly sure you can convert to electric controls, at a cost tho id imagine!

[@paul3506]

What a great idea for covering the tractor

[@stewthorne]

my granddad was a professional hedge layer but he used to hire 4 or 5 guys with hand tools to tidy the hedges they got breakfast and diner and he gave them a few bob when they had finished

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I layed a lot of hedges by hand, slow but very satisfying work and you end up with a super thick hedge if it’s done right.

[@stewthorne]

@@IFarmWeFarm l went past our old farm and the hedge and ditch is stll strong 30 plus years later the new land owner looks after it well

[@davidcummins1108]

Would you consider going the final hog and sticking wheel covers on her Adrian similar to what Andy does on it’s a farming life for me? Would stop the wheels getting discoloured and paint chipped aswell. Bonnet cover the only job. 👍

[@matthewharnett402]

Great gear u have Adrian 👍👍

[@PaddyGun]

I know a man who has a brand new john deer costing more than my house and he goes hedgcutting with not one bit of protection for his tractor i will never understand how people treat machinery. The ones with the old 35s treat them brilliantly and people with the new fancy machines will just plough on with work and never think twice about their machine. I believe the think because their machine is new it is bulletproof. To be honest they are probably right

[@jimgannon1917]

It a johndeere hard as nails. 😆 🤣

[@bradymicheal]

I know what you mean. However, you have to mind the new tractors well now as they cost soo much plus they would not stand up to well to intense hedge cutting work.

[@matthewmcclelland486]

They some times just rent them out for five years and the change them again

[@matthewmcclelland486]

[@PaddyGun]

If you own a digger or something that often needs greasing an electric grease gun is the holy grail of tools, you won’t get a pump in your forearms but you will have the engine running in half the time

[@arwelagrimachinery]

Could be a idea to cut the box section down and put a smaller box section like levers on that bit of passanger seat so you can swap them over easily

[@johnmyles1497]

Looks well 👌

[@orladevaney3537]

Lovely video

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

Some parts of Ireland have a Ban on cutting, grubbing, burning or other destruction of “vegetation growing in any hedge or ditch” between 1st March and 31st August (My Birthday). In Ireland, the relatively low cover of native woodland makes hedgerows exceptionally important for biodiversity. Hedgerows provide botanical diversity as well as food and shelter for animals, most notably birds. They also act as corridors connecting habitats. Untrimmed, thorny hedges are favoured by birds, but birds may nest in any hedge.

[@banjoboy8802]

Hi Adrian, I seem to recall you saying in one of your previous videos that you were unhappy with the quality of the fence post's you were sourcing locally. It seemed that the fence posts were rotting much quicker than they had in the past. That could be down to the type of wood. I think in the past Alder was a more popular source of timber. It grows quickly and grows tall and straight and I believe has a tight grain. Pine is more plentiful it grows rapidly and requires regular thinning it's a soft wood with a more open grain and splits easy allowing water to penetrate the fibres where moisture can easily freeze. Watching some YT videos of folk in Canada it was interesting to see how they were preserving freshly cut timber to build wooden structures and I thought I would share this tip with you . Originating in 18th century Japan, shou sugi ban is a particularly striking method of preserving wood by charring it with fire. Traditionally, this practice is used with Japanese cedar in order to weatherproof it. The wood is burned until the surface is charred, and then coated with natural oil. These folks were using boiled linseed oil. I recall from my youth the Post Office used to soak telegraph poles in Creosote and it was also applied to timber buildings, garden sheds etc. My father used to use a mixture of old engine oil mixed with 20% paraffin to thin the oil. If you had one of those 25 gallon oil drums with one end cut off. you could use that to mix the oil and paraffin and place the fence posts in for treatment. I think if you left the posts to soak for a month in the mix that should extent the life of a post by about five maybe even as much as ten years. I would suggest if you plan on trying this you remove the posts from the oil mixture about a week before you plan to stake them to allow the surface oil to drain off. Finally wipe off any residual oil. Health & Safety rules on protective clothing apply The oil will provide a water, insect and fungal barrier allowing the posts to last longer in the wet soil. Painting the tops of the posts with oil will also help keep out rain water and reduce any freezing of moisture that works it's way into the posts.

[@namenotallowedinyourcountr2709]

that’s quite common here where i live in the netherlands most fence posts are kinda charred and oily
