Pt 3 Hayfield Follies the Vicon CM 135 Mower

[@Rebel9668]

Wow, that's some really modern stuff there, all we had was an old '39 "A" J-D and an ancient pull type sickle mower with a wood pittman arm....then again our rake was originally horse drawn and had the old square link chains and our baler was a roanoke with a loose flywheel, lol.

[@RBPx1]

LoL Jeff I have the same problem every year, grease will lube every thing except the inside of a zerk fitting... thanks for another fun video.

[@laryctdummy]

10 seconds with a propane torch clears them pesky zirks out quick.... Thx Jeff!

[@planetgraple]

Good to see another video, I was beginning to think you forgot about us. :)

[@KumiOriFarm]

Thanks, I've been looking forward to some news from you!

[@homersimpsonii5455]

A little heat from a propane torch will open those grease fitting right up. I have to grease trackhoes and backhoes and when I come across one that wont take grease I heat her up and presto, it works fine. Just my experience.

[@4451ab]

I enjoy all your videos ty

[@gordonmcmillan3130]

Keep going Jeff, weather is on its' way ...

[@timmcneil1536]

That looks like too much fun.

[@BarnyardEngineering]

We gotta get you a pistol grip grease gun. Those lever ones keep any three-handed man busy.

[@ChileExpatFamily]

We used grease in our gear boxes and it worked better than 90 wt oil.

[@garyronan5568]

Gotta remember the temp difference though. Where Jeff is at he won't ever see 105 degree's but he might cut hay at 40 and grease is damn viscose at that temp. Better to go with 80-90 and keep the gear box intact.

[@grandpaseed]

well I guess a little love is better than no love at all, thanks

[@johnhirsch9]

Do you make hay to sell or do you use it for your animals?

[@GarnettM]

Never seen a mower like that before ;Been a farm boy most my life whats it called ?

[@ChileExpatFamily]

I call them disk mowers they replaced sickle mowers because they are much more forgiving. They do not crimp the hay like a Haybine or mower conditioner, they just cut. Because they use those disks with little blades that sling out they will go around things instead of grabbing them and bending the bar (you hope). Also they will cut through any thickness of hay with no problem.

[@GarnettM]

Really never seen one before used swathers , haybines , sickle mowers looks effective .

[@ChileExpatFamily]

Yea they came out in the 1980s. We had a haybine, and now haybines hve similar cutter bars because they are just more efficient.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

ditto

[@GarnettM]

Be good if you get into thick hay it would'nt clog the mower bar or be out changing rivots in the hot sun and mosquitoes LOL .

[@halfabucknhra]

Whatever you do, and I mean WHATEVER YOU DO, do not take that fabric guard off of that mower for better visibility. The lug-nuts where I work did long before I started there and ours throws so much stuff at ya, you have to wear a hard hat when your running the dang thing! Of course if you like having stuff thrown at ya.........

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

How did you convince those aliens to let you mount their flying saucers on your mowing machine? Here I thought you had some brand new piece of equipment under that paper bag that you wanted to show us...

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

Looks like I'm gonna have to send you a bunch of grease zerks, huh? Are they Metric? :P

[@sha1om]

I always wondered why those grease points were called zerk fittings, so I googled it. Turns out they were invented by a guy named Oscar Ulysses Zerk. Go know... They've got a nice writeup on him at findagrave dot com, with a partial list of the 300 other things he invented.

[@cegesl4521]
