I really like how he explains everything hes doing

[@hjo2]

That was a fair days work Andy 👍🏻. I was also mowing today. I used a Bosch34r rotak. Didn’t bother with headlands as this baby can turn on a sixpence. I did 28.75 m2, I used about 5.5p of electric and it took me 15 minutes. I’m happy to lend it to you if yours starts playing up 👍🏻😁

Did grass on the back garden,only took 8 cans of larger lol

Is that similar to lager?

Amazing to think that you can cover that much mowing in one day and no mechanical breakdowns, absolute credit to you, fantastic Andy.

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

They have no stones in their land, bit different here in ireland 😂

[@jameswilkins7757]

I run a 8340 ford with the same rear mower as you just finished mowing 138 acres and used 210 litres of desiel and two flasks of coffee and a litre of water

[@sandymcghee3328]

To all farmers young and old. keep safe around farm machinery like the machine

[@johnbyrne1258]

I usually drive a John Deere 9520rx to do chisel ploughing in rice fields here in Northern California. Tractor usually burns 700 plus litres in a 12 hour shift. It is the best tractor I’ve ever driven power, comfort ease of use. It’s a fair big change from the aul Massey Ferguson 185 I use to drive on my dads farm in Ireland. Have a safe and productive season!

[@guardrail2897]

Farming is hard work. I did it for years when I was a young fella but decided to drive a truck instead of staying in the farming business. And now that I'm an old fart, I drive a truck part time and work on a farm part time. Now a days I enjoy the farming a lot more than driving a truck.

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

Cutting hay is still one of my favourite jobs. 🚜

I just started playing farming simulator 2019.... it is way addictive. I've never even thought of farming stuff... that game has made me want to see these big machines for real. This guy is good... he shows us everything... I'll be watching more.

[@basvanstaalduinen6573]

We've had to say goodbye to our 23 year old Pöttinger rear mower. It's been a good couple of years. Our new mower arrived yesterday, a Pronar TDR 300 rear mower. We'll see how she handles the next cut.

[@johnlong3214]

Good, solid farming video showing a good job done well. Nice to see a JD being put through it's paces and doing what it was built for👍

[@hakonrade200]

I helped my neighbor with mowing, and we did about 250 hectares in eight hours. We where two triplets working together.

[@nigelclats6970]

I run Kuhn 9.5m non conditioning triples on a Fastrac 4220 in S.Island NZ. I cut up to 120ha per day and average 3 l/ha when mowing,I generally chop through a full tank on the Fastrac in a 12 hour day. That's very good fuel economy from the Sisu/agco motor.

[@gaslight5]

So 296 acres on 360l of diesel, is 1.2l an acre, that's 1.1 litre less than Andy's doing here. So about half the fuel used?

[@nigelclats6970]

I'm using non-conditioning mowers,plus one more 3M mower, 1/3 less trips around the paddock and less effort to run,so your figures are spot on you maths wizard.

[@nobodypersonsomeone]

I mow with a remapped New Holland t7 210 and triples. Round here in South Wales nearly every field is a slope so mowing obviously uses more diesel. I was mowing a 150 acre farm the other day. Mowed about 100 acres and had to go and fill up, it took 300l. Then mowed the rest and used another 100l. that's 400l and was only about a 12 hour day. The type of grass we have around here is usually quite dense and the conditioners really have their work cut out. On a typical day mowing I will normally catch a few stones and have to replace some blades. Farmers don't know their fields like they used to nor do they bother to roll them.

[@Thommy-turbo]

We just mowed first cut here in the Netherlands. We use a massey Ferguson 6270. With a krone 320 mower without conditioner and a krone 283 mower with conditioner. For a total of nearly 6 meter working with. We were doing about 30 hectares that day. We finished in 10 hours and used about 160 liters of diesel. However I might add it was really heavy cut. Grass was toler than the front mower

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

Good going! The drone shots looked great, they must help with sense of achievement when you see all those rows from above!

[@glynroberts1682]

Very impressive fast mowing and looking after the wildlife another good vid 🚜👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video Andy, looks a fair size crop, could of done a crop of grass seed and baled it for hay two years running, you won't be getting a new Holland then, mowers doing a good job, hope round up still about in two years to spray it off before you plough it.

[@TomSommer]

That is a cool setup. I use a Massey Ferguson 2705e with a rear bush hog. Takes me about 3 Days to do 40 acres with about 10 gallons of full.

[@TrafficManagement-UK]

makes me sad i dont have my 155r any more i loved it LEDs all round the full was brilliant .

[@mauricecahill3385]

Yo Andy !!! The joys of auto steer and the joys of mowing square strips with no triangles at the end of em in all the fields must be something to treasure fella!! The amount of trees at the opposite end of the field I picked out when stripping..... omg they always seemed to move ffs!!! Anyhoo the set up you have and at a rate of 2.5 or so ltrs per acre is fantastic.....!!! Stay safe and give Eric a good rub on the noggin for me!! Cracking vid lad!!

great first cut video mate my briggs ans stratton mower with 2 feet power get a tank a week 😂😂

Great video again! Got to love the the Chris Packham joke. Plonka that he is !

A new Holland or Fendt would do a proper days work and mow for 12 hours or more but your JD needs it's rest😀😁

[@hsagri69]

U might be a mainly arable boy but u got to admit u can't beat a bit of green fever. Our jd mounted rear is ready to go but not got a call for it yet. Well done for getting the leveret to safety

[@MrHotshot1995]

So you came up in my recommended as i worked on a farm few years ago and miss it like mad. So glad youtube recommended yourself. Loved this video and plan on watching loads more tonight not an early night for me lol.

[@danielbanks9000]

Fair bit of grass there. To cut my grass, fuel use will be approximately half a kit kat. No tractor required. Great video. Can't wait to see the follow up videos.

[@welshdai7796]

Couple of questions Andy. Why not invest in triples. And how come no A frame for the front mower. Great video btw. I work for a contractor down in pembs. and I think the boys do about 3-400 acres a day with their triples. Not too sure. I don’t drive the tractors. I’m on the truck. And use about 250 litres a day carrying grain. Etc.

[@dellboy1419]

Great video Andrew, love the smell of fresh grass!!

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Now then Andy. Cut 60 acre yesterday then filled up before moving away from farm. Used 166 litres. 4.5 hours to cut.

[@sergeantstupid6290]

Great Vid. one thing i will say for the new autopowr gearbox in the johndeere tractors there is a massive torque increase as when we got the a new tractor we got the same horespower just the new autopowr gearbox and its so much better, really noticable on the drill as the old tractor with the old direct gearbox was constantly on its knees. can't wait to try it out on the baler. would love to someday get one with a joystick.

New subscriber, seems to be mowing a bit slow, what is your average mowing speed? Km is ok, I have a converter. Also, is the front axle suspended on that 215 deere? Cab suspension also? The seat suspension is obvious. One more ? Do you worry about front visibility w/ the 131 mower?

Hi. I'm new to all this farming stuff, and, am therefore a bit clueless to it. So I have some questions that may seem silly to you, but to me, it's ALL brand new information. So... At around 8mins in, you tell us what was just in the field this year, and last year etc etc, then you mentioned that you're going to "hire a bull".!!. What is this for.? Do you have dairy as well.? Thanks for your time. Rich.

Nice video Andy, with great machinery of JD, Eric! All works well, with great instructions. Thanks 👍🏻 With the one handle controllign everything is very nice also. Has this JD is CVT like Fendt or is it with power shift or else? Am not that familiar with JD, but looks as a modern machine as well. Happy also to discover you have zones or stewardstrips as you call them at the side of the parcels for where nature & biodiversity purpose with flower wildlife preservation! Great to see guys 😊👌

Very interesting, thanks for sharing It's curious that the second mowing attachment is located at the back, and quite away from the tractor : wouldn't that be much easier to have this additional mower side by side up front, or at least at the very side of the driver (let or right) ? you could drive without having to look backwards half of the time
