So after 6 years with the Spearhead we have changed the trimmer for a Shelbourne Reynolds HD865 VFRT and she is a beast! If you haven't guessed the trimmer is on the John Deere 6215R.
This video is a walk around of the machine and a few adjustments with the Milwaukee Tools.

What a pleasure it is to see a brand new piece of equipment being so well looked after right from new!! Credit to you Andy!

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

I think YT must have forgotten to change there clocks because I’m sure I set it to publish at 6pm 🤔

[@carlwood1432]

We ain't complaining lol

[@toby.maximillian]

Doesn’t change the great quality of the video! And I don’t think anybody minds a early video :)

[@liamdavies5403]

Great vid mate. It's great having new trimmer they are so much more responsive which helps!

[@petersmith5756]

Smart bit of kit you have Andy and great to see that you taking good care of it from the start. Stay safe.

[@elliotford1423]

Andy you have got a good taste in tools and machinery love it 👍👍

[@darrenkayes7911]

Nice hedgetrimmer Andy, my Dad was a hedge cutting contractor for over 30 years, here in New Zealand, he had Bomford, a Simeon, 3 Mc Connell, and a Spearhead over the years, was always exciting getting a new one or a new tractor to put one on, really enjoy your videos mate👍

[@mattya246]

Tractor is looking 🔥🔥

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Excellent machine. It has great features. I'm sure you'll enjoy using it.

[@andrewsaunders8252]

The first hedge cutter I used (40+ years ago!!) was basically a square cab with a square boom mounted just in front of steering wheel this would go in and out on rollers , it had a second boom at end so you could go up and down, it had a flail head. all this was mounted on an MF tractor which you had to climb in through back over linkage. you could fit a large circular saw head which would cut a hedge down in one pass, including telephone wooden poles these did not even slow the saw down !!. it was a beast to drive but nice to see a well trimmed job at end of day.

[@stuartlane8431]

Great to see the new hedge cutter look forward to seeing it in action

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, the Hedge cutter is an impressive bit of kit, looking forward to seeing it in use, thanks

[@farminginkent.1004]

Looks really great ,not changed much to mine which is five or six years old but we have not got the forward reach.I wouldn’t worry too much about stability of the tractor, I run ours on a 4 cylinder 100 horse case which is a lot smaller than your tractor obviously and she carries it exceptionally well .I cut mostly orchard wind breaks here in Kent that on average needs the machine to be at full stretch to reach the tops, ours is a six meter telescopic .A bigger tractor is not an option as I wouldn’t be able to get passed the fruit rows without damaging the trees .The forward reach would make yours a bit heavier I’m sure but they are great machines a very well built.Given the choice I would definitely buy shelbourne again.All the best.

[@irishro1]

Awsome. Jet black hub caps on the Deere look the job too.

[@nasa1985]

Awesome.

[@irishro1]

@@nasa1985 dickhead.... that spealt ok for you?

[@michaellord6614]

Use the same machine.... Couple tips... Never forget to remove transport pin before slewing round....ours snapped off and not to push too hard when folding up against transport rest plate. Noiced support stand still down behind head, does fold up to protect pipes. Otherwise happy trimming 👍

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Thanks! Yes I have folded that up now 👍

[@SAB_Agri]

Andrew looks nice trimmer 🤔. I’m looking at a new McConnel at the minute ... look forward to see more of this in action 🤙

[@russellpetrie119]

love the forward reach feature saves rubber necking i often wonder if they make them for front linkage

[@jonathanvanginkel3849]

Tractor would become way to unstable, they’re heavy and u need good weight distribution for steady and safe full reach

[@russellpetrie119]

@@jonathanvanginkel3849 like weight at the rear to steady it ?

[@upthereds4939]

The black wheel covers make the 6215 look sick 👌🏻😂 Just need to tint the windows now 😅👍🏻

[@Screamifyoumeanit]

That is a clever piece of equipment...I love to see how Ag. technology has move on over the years.

[@casto-]

She looks a nice rig 👍 hopefully you’ll have many lovely hours with her. The forward reach will be good especially with the jd seat turned

[@davidtaylor2289]

the JD seat doesn't turn to the left with command pro sadly

[@stephanev8489]

Le matériel est toujours propre chez vous Un plaisir de regarder les vidéos et le dog 👍

[@Wm-km9uz]

Hi Andrew. Health to enjoy the new hedge cutter! Could you give us a closer look some time where you have the fixings on cab door for the window grill. Nice tidy job and quick to take on and off. Thanks again for your videos and hard work.

[@harrybarnes9928]

Not sure is you would have known but behind the head of the cutter is a boot that doubles up as a stand and it folds up to get out the way and also protect the hydraulic fittings

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Thanks yes a couple other people pointed that out and I switched it up Monday morning 👍

[@philipbutler9404]

Nice machine Andy be nice to see you hedge cutting with it

[@tomsmith2670]

Hi Andy it might be just wise putting the guard up on the back of the flail head that protects the pipes

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Thanks yes I have done that now 👍

[@alexanderchapman7580]

Hi Farming life fore Me Love you films over the Summer , fantastic All so watch Olis Farm very weird he has not posted fore 8 weeks now !!

[@EZZA0071]

Awesome bit of kit..question were did you get your hub covers from?? Been looking around and cannot find d them for sale.. keep up great uploading plz

[@hsagri69]

Smart looking trimmer always liked the look of a Sherbourne. They just look built to last. My mate runs a 5m bomford vfr and loves it. Wish I could say the same for his knuckle boom mcconell that I run. Its not had a great start to the season 😕

[@HotAxleBox]

New toys are always fun, new toys that destroy things are so much more fun! :D Cheers for sharing, keep up the good work you lucky bugger! :)

[@thomaseilrwilliams1896]

Great video and Great new machine 👍🏼👌🏼

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video Andy, dad's popped in to see the new toy. Looks a nice well built machine andy. What about some led beacons on the back of it for road work?

[@antonyfarming]

Great looks a great machine 👍

[@MrKevfocus]

How many frailes in total in that head 👍👍👍nice bit of kit there 👍👍

[@johnirons9223]

Loving the tunes!!

[@russellpetrie119]

with the boom streching out further you should enough away to not ruin wheel arch

[@JAYPLAYS85]

Yes u did say six o'clock mate but I'm happy to watch early 👌👍

[@johnlong3214]

Looking good👍

[@janbuikema8941]

thats going smooth!! ..

[@ianforsyth7573]

I was just thinking With the wider tire yeh you won’t hit the weel arch but if it’s running you’ll slash the wheel open with the flails

[@roberthiggins6401]

Looks the job Andy!

[@tmdavid1332]

Is hyrdaulic roller on a spool then ? Didn't see a button for it on the box?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]
