[@paulwarrilow3427]

Best wishes to your Dad, I hope he recovers soon. Always family first. I did a load of hedge trimming when I started work on a farm after I left school (many years ago) I really enjoyed it. The only part I did not enjoy was when I got a length of barbed wire wrapped round the flail!! That took a good while to extract.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Had that happened, was good fun for sure 🙈

Never of thought your videos would need to have some trimming 😅😊 but Seriously Im wishing your Dad a speedy recovery and obviously keep him updated on the farm even if he's resting as we all know farmers never really rest and we have all respect and can wait.. .. .... Good morning sir.. always thought they were all pto powered oil pumps.. but maby thats because that's what we are on the lookout for... some of the smaller ones to go on to any of our tractors. 👌 cracking vid sir..

[@casto-]

My first season this season of hedge cutting, 40hrs in and I’ve blown 2 pipes, replaced gearbox bearings and replaced a pipe end when the telescopic head are fell off (2 bolts sheared) 😆🤦‍♂. Regards to you farther, hope he’s well soon 🤞👌👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Jesus you had a tough first season lad 🙈

[@markclark7660]

Talk about similarities. We traded our pa93 for a 5755 noticed exactly the same benefits as yourself lot easier to take on and off. We run ours on a MF7614. We mounted the up-down leaver on the offside door on the door rail between it and the glass, wee bracket onto the rail

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I might do the same, yes very easy to take off and put on. Saves a lot of time

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show Adrian 🍻

[@bobuncle8704]

I’ve a feeling that trimming would be a job I’d love to do. Sadly, we don’t have hedgerows here in Canada.

[@MarkSmith-vi3gt]

Adrian when I worked for a contractor we use to take the roller out for verges to stop it wrapping hope this helps if your model has one😊

[@ThomasOtoole-t1y]

Most people working hedge cutters keep the roller about 1 in from the ground I myself never use the roller more just drop it down and drive on

[@yvonneward]

Best wishes to your dad great video once again 😊

[@MichaelConroy-f9x]

Adrian I have to say the mcconnell pa 5455 is the exact machine I would love myself, Looking forward to see how you find it, Best of luck with it, Thanks for sharing 👍.

In our thoughts and prayers 🙏

[@colmanlong1032]

Great info Adrain.them hedgecutters were are a super machine.

[@arwelagrimachinery]

Really the single pump might been alright in its time used on something more basic , but the modern tractors now use the hydraulic oil to drive/move everything, heating it up itself without the extra strain of constant pumping through the spool all day

[@arwelagrimachinery]

Modern gearbox uses the oil to keep 4wd off (not a new thing I know along with PTO) , clamp the clutches for gears, work clutches for shuttle, work the hydrostatic steering (1980's and older usually had a separate steering pump) etc

[@FirstnameLastname-qe3ry]

[@richardfarenden1215]

We got a pa93 hedge cutter fully independent had it since 1988 perfect. Sales rep told us years ago semi independent trimmer will heat alot of tractor back end so since that that why our trimmer is fully independent perfect

[@colmanlong1032]

Great info,now I know, fully independent is the answer.

[@richardfarenden1215]

@@colmanlong1032 on my headgear cutter got four cables in cab for controls one pto on shaft that drive all the oil for the hedge cutter. If you have a semi independent hedge cutter and a oil pipe goes for the main head it will drain it from tractor back end on fully independent it just drain from tank

[@samuelrobinson9012]

Iv an old McConnell about 12 years now. Bought it of a neighbour so knew it worked OK, tho had done a lot of work. Haven't a friggin clue what kinda pumps on it😂😂😂, but it sure works well, with a very good reach.

[@richardfarenden1215]

@@samuelrobinson9012 the simple way to check if you got oil pipe needs to go back of tractor semi independent if no oil pipe not needed fully independent

You’re legally allowed to cut roadside grass verges in the summer time because nothing ever nests inside grass, nettles, thistles excetra.

[@johnhughes2113]

Only at road junctions can we cut grass (north Wales) the rest of the verge must be left to re seed

[@Murphycats]

The hedges in Ireland are no joke! I was over there and driving a rental car around the countryside. While making a 3 point turn around, I bumped into a hedge. Not a big bump, just a bump. Lost my entire deposit. Lesson learned.

[@Catherinemab]

🫂Thoughts with you and your family

[@stephenkelly2067]

Same move as me both great cutters. Only my 93 was totally independent

[@DmitryMurphy-p7h]

The reason why the rotor stops is because the more modern hyd- motors are a some what smaller than the older ones. the small motors are spinning faster but they lack the torque- thus, it is easier to stall them. regarding the oil over heating, I would be inclined to take the explanation that you received with a pinch of salt. The bottom line is that it does not take much of an oil flow to push a couple of rams in and out- I would be looking for a restriction in the valve chest or solenoid valve etc, Happy Hunting.

[@megafabltd]

Fantastic camera work as usual 👏

[@MOSSFEEN]

[@willyfindlay4398]

Adrian, I know you are a neat and tidy man , but could you cut your hedges every other year to allow the plants to flower and fruit better for the wild life ? Great video.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I agree, i should have mentioned this in the video actually. I Rotate my hedges each year so each hedge is only trimmed every other year. The roadsides are an exception due to saftey though

[@AD-hs2bq]

How kind to help your neighbor with trimming. It’s a big job.

There is a slip clutch in those hedge cutters that stops head turning when the meet an obstacles mine stops when sheep wire laps around it pa93 😮

[@gearsandtears7643]

Hope your dad recovers Did anyone suggest putting a decent oil cooler and fan on the oil return?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No not really, I ran it for 6 hours straight the other day and it wasn’t very hot at all so for now there’s no real reason too

[@gearsandtears7643]

@IFarmWeFarm I ment on the old one fit an oil cooler

[@IFarmWeFarm]

@@gearsandtears7643oh sorry, yes it was mentioned and I done a bit of investigating into it. I would of done that if it would 100% cure the problem but no one could guarantee it would work with some saying it wouldn’t.

Yes they’re all on there again, windows and bonnet. I think there a great job

[@stephenkelly2067]

If your rotar on 5455 is lazier than your 93 hi power your pump or motor is worn I found opposite I buy them new use for around 10 years and change

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I think the pump and motor are ok, it’s just a different style of motor on the head, possibly a slip clutch. Had a few people on to me today saying theirs does the very same from new. It’s not really an issue and only happens on the longer grass.

[@rogerpeak3752]

@@IFarmWeFarm Cutting long grass with the flails rotating downwards is very power consuming because the cut material is thrown forwards onto the grass yet to be cut, whereas if you have the flails rotating upwards the cuttings are flung under the hood and onto the ground ahead of the roller ( which should always be set below the cutting height of the flails when cutting on the ground, and above when doing hedge work ). Hydraulic roller height adjustment has been one of the biggest improvements in hedge cutter design over the years.

[@Cambridgeshire-m1x]

Could it be possible the pressure relief valve on your new trimmer is out of spec and possibly the reason why it's not as Powerful ? Another great video thankyou

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It’s only happens the odd time when it’s in real heavy long grass, think these newer ones have a slip clutch
