My job for the winter...

[@jimzoesch5799]

Thanks for sharing, Andy. Love to see the great care you take of the land and machinery. Sharing your thoughts about enjoying the trimming is awesome. When I had a small farm and horses, I would tell my wife I was going to bush hog the pasture. Sometimes she would say, does it really need it? Of course part of the reason was because I enjoyed doing it. Take care and I look forward to the next ride.

[@joewilko8573]

Could we please have a farm tour vid pls

[@hsagri69]

I really enjoy hedgecutting. Theres some real pride in a job done well. Weather has gone to the dogs this backend. We still have some maize to get in and I'm really questioning whether its do able

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

It’s nice to see you look after your Equipment, it pays in the long run,

[@lordoftherims436]

Yep. I have seen those tractors do 14000 hours with no major issues

[@colinpullen9295]

Good video Andy I always used to like hedge trimming very therapeutic and warm in winter.

[@edtheriper5522]

Nice to see One of our door guards in use. I'm a Technician at HME and have seen lots of these guards leave, but none in actual use.

[@hsagri69]

How much for 1 for a massey 7616. An where can I get 1. We made 1 last year after the inevitable incident with the saw blade but it is a 2 man job for install/removal

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

H.S AGRICULTURAL I think the one we have was about £300 but it’s best part of a grand for a door glass so worth it 👍

[@edtheriper5522]

We (as far as I am aware) only stock them for JD machines. But we custom make them for anything and everything. Look for Howard Marshall engineering on the web and you'll find us

[@diggerdave.6587]

Hi ya Andy. When I worked for a farm contractor I was nominated hedge cutter pilot, we had I spearhead Twiga 6 but an earlier model than your one. I too found the servo controls a bit agricultural for want of a better term. It was a good strong machine though in all fairness, it had to be really as I was always chasing around different farms and parks for a good deal of the winter. Its nice to see what Spearhead have done to improve their newer models, I am a bit critical as you also seem to be and was always thinking what could be done better. My main beef with the controls was that there was no cross over on the lever, it was one movement or the other with no mix of the two possible. Keep the good vids coming.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Great video Andy, good to see the John Deere being properly looked after!

[@charleshart6992]

Another good update.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video again Andy 👍👍

[@ghostrider7688]

Hedge trimming is damn good therapeutic work man , good to be inside , dry and clean 👍🏻 John Deere 💚

[@robertcalder194]

Bit of a tip,get yourself a sheet to cover the back end it'll stop all the debris dropping in,which is pita to get out. Always enjoy your vids👍

[@darrenguest7284]

Nice to see that your priority is to protect your tractor from all the damage that the hedge trimmings can cause, I can only hope, as you didn’t show this, that you carried out your legal obligation to clear the highway of all the hedge trimmings left behind, as some farmers like to leave the remains of the hedge all over the road for us motorists and cyclists to pick them up in our rubber tyres and then to later pay a visit to the local puncture repair outlet.

[@jasonjones8852]

Keep them coming bud fab videos

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day form Queensland Australia great video mate.

[@JJ_MacLeod]

Cracking vid Andy! Really interesting to see the controls on the hedge trimmer as it is something I have done very little of. Fendt tractors you do have to stop and change them from foot to stick mode - the new Deere looks very smart!

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

JJ Macleod Yeah she’s a beauty, have you guys had a JD on demo recently?

[@JJ_MacLeod]

It's a farming life for me! Not yet - really keen to try a 6R!

[@harrydavies5729]

Where did you get the bonnet cover from ?

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video andy, nice looking tractor, nice wheel covers, what about some millet seed or linseed or even soya?

[@ashleydolman4356]

great video again would love to see a grain loading video again just to break up the videos

[@colmkennedy3109]

Good video Andy 👍🏻

[@markliversage7688]

Only feels like last week you was cutting 2018 funny how time fly mate good work 👍

[@fsking]

My fendt 724 is as you say has to change peddle to stick mode on the button however I hedge with the peddle however activating cruse control will hold your current speed then just press the peddle to disactivate the cruise control, so ya very similar to ya JD really,

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

I know I’ve asked this before but where has “another week on the farm” gone? Is this the same thing and the title has just changed. Cheers 👍

[@banditbeggers533]

Great video mate. The think is with using that tractor Witch look amazing is that u have it why not use it. It’s comfortable and it’s probably only running on tik over

[@casto-]

You almost do as many hours hedge cutting as I put on our NH 😂. Your lucky you have something to do when it's this wet, do enjoy watching a bit of hedge cutting though (I do like destruction 😂😂)

[@adcuz]

What is the difference between winter barley and spring barley? Are they a different type or just the time they are planted?

[@sam_ewings05]

We had a fendt 930 on our bomford last year. We just down road from u .whitewater potatoes

[@valtur25]

You could snowploughing, since it's a lot of fun, but then last acceptable level of snow I saw in England (NW) was in February 2016.

[@donaldstephens8822]

Good idea for the wheel covers.

[@ghostrider7688]

Donald Stephens yes mate nice job 👍🏻

[@craigbigboy1]

Good video again bud, I like your wheel covers If you weren't so busy in the winter doing Hedge trimming etc you could probably make and sell them covers to other farmers in need of protection 😁 If it's too wet to drill down at your place Andy then Britain is wet! here I don't think wev'e had a full weeks dry weather since the bank holiday week back at the end of August but I guess we are lucky compared to some, at least we are not under water like some farmers are further north 😒 As for the why such a big tractor on a hedge trimmer questions, remember what Wes (olf) say's 'It's always better to have a big tractor doing a little job than doing a big job with a little tractor' anyways stay safe out there Andy especially with them impatient idiot drivers 👍

[@nathanmillington7051]

Good vid gonna have to make some wheel guards now

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Nathan millington Cheers tag me on Instagram if you do 👍

[@aubreywilliams6153]

fit some 1.5mm restrictors in the hydraulic lines to smooth things down .spearhead supplied them with the machine,i find the thing hatefull after my old econ mid mount.

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

aubrey williams Thanks I’ll ask lister wilder about that 👍

[@e.cfarmphotography1095]

Great vid why go from FENDT to John Deere fendt are so much better

[@farmerstephen]

What pto speed do you run in? I run in 1000 at about 1050 engine rpm as it saves fuel and is quieter.

[@antonyfarming]

Great video doing a great job on the hedge looks like it's got a nice cut 👍what type of flails you got?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Hi thanks Antony, I’m using the standard T flails atm they do the job quite well 👍

[@TheMrNicke]

This thing you got with gates and hedges surrounding your fields is very odd to us in Sweden. Why do you have it? Thanks.

[@finlandfarmer1860]

Of curiosity, is it mandatory to have hedges along (those narrow) roads in England? Does every farmer have to take care of the hedges along their properties? Well kept hedges obviously look good... but quite a job keeping them as such. And thank you for good videos.

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Finlandfarmer Thanks, yes everyone just cuts there own hedges 👍

[@Farmer_phil]

What’s the fuel consumption while hedgecutting? I run a 724 on a 7.2m hedgecutter so be interesting to see what you get. Thanks 😊

[@oscarjohansson79]

How many hours have you put into that tractor now?

[@gruffuddlloyd7120]

What tractors do you have

[@sch3l3]

at what plug is the extended monitor connected? today we got a new 6r and the monitor harness only fits in the square plug near the rear window :/

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Evil Ivan Yes I think that’s the same as mine 👍

[@Sham-nz4pv]

How old is your John Deere

[@Countrystock]

2019, there's a vlog from a few weeks back when Andy collected it

[@brendanmeegan6444]

That windows guard is nise job is it a spesal eng company that makes em

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Brendan Meegan Yes it is a special company that makes them but our local JD dealer sells them 👍

[@toby.maximillian]

What’s the cover on the tractor for?

[@nasa1985]

Toby and James Goldsmith. Really?! Why don’t you take a wild guess!

[@Meidlii]

Wie sieht der au????? S

[@craigmellor75]

Do you have livestock ?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Craig Mellor Hi yes beef cattle and a small flock of sheep but I don’t work with them much so don’t get much chance to film them 👍
