Tedding Hay and Talking about why I traded the T5

[@monk4786]

As hard as you work , you deserve to have the best equipment

[@waltermattson5566]

I’m glad you found a tractor you like. It makes work more pleasant.

[@DLHFarms]

Dang right thanks 👍

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Thanks for the ride along Dennis and tractor talk. My 1979 F350 4X4 super cab camper special had wheel hop at 58-63 MPH but smoothed out at higher and lower speeds. The load range E 10 plies probably had something to do with it. I bought it in early 79 for $9700 and that would not be a decent down payment nowadays.

[@DLHFarms]

Wow how things have changed trucks cost 10 times that now.

[@stephensfarms7165]

Great video of your new tractor 🚜. I know you are enjoying it. I am happy for you. Have fun. 👍👍👍🚜

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Ronald!

[@stuartroland9605]

Good Day to you Dennis . Glad to see you are happy with your new tractor . secound an third cutting can be a hassel getting the hay dry enough to bale . Stay Safe take care .

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it can. I got 2nd cut done and have some 3rd cutting that will be ready soon but it's going to be a challenge to dry for sure

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

Glad you like your JD tractor ! Keep up the good videos Dennis.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks John!

[@kevinlewis7882]

Glad to hear you like the new tractor, work goes smoother when you're operating a good piece of equipment

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I agree!

[@bobcatsmith246]

Thank you Dennis for explaining why you tedder hay. I live here in Michigan and here we wind row the hay two or three times. I don't make hay I buy it for our horse's. Like the video's keep up the good work.

[@DLHFarms]

Your welcome 👍

[@jeffd6540]

Glad you were finally able to find a good option to go with for the new tractor. Nothing better than starting off positive, with no sacrificing. Here's to a good season!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Jeff!

[@larrycarver8197]

Great videos keep on coming man been looking for a new tractor myself I know what you went through trying to figure out what you want and need in the new tracker

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it's tough trying to figure it out.

[@jimon1287]

Hi Dennis, My 6130 has the same road vibration you mentioned. I have the Michelin radials and it seems to be getting less as the tires wear in. I don’t drive on roads that much with it. I also love how well mine performs.

[@DLHFarms]

Mine has Firestone tires on it. It's not a big deal but it's worth mentioning. I would much rather have that then banging and a noisy transmission

[@garymerklein3052]

Glad you're enjoying the new JD. Sure enjoy your videos!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Gary!

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

Been talking to Mast, told them you sent me. I may even look at a certain T5 while I’m there, but mainly looking at 5100M or what you got. Thanks for the great videos.

[@DLHFarms]

Awesome thanks for telling them I sent you they should treat you right. Hope you get to check out the famous T5 👍

[@clayboist]

Glad you are happy with your deere, looking forward to some snow plowing with it this winter, if you use it.

[@DLHFarms]

👍

[@hybridssuck]

Back when I worked at John Deere, (left in 2007), I always enjoyed installing John Deere brand loaders on tractors because they were so easy and straightforward. It does not shock me to hear what you said about your loader experience on your new tractor. Good purchase!

[@2cylinderfarmer]

If you dont mind why did you leave deere?

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Dustin!

[@hybridssuck]

I left because of a job offer I received that I didn’t even apply for, to go work on cars. I had went to vo tech school after high school to work on cars. But ended up getting a job a the local John Deere dealer. It was a good place to work, don’t have anything negative to say about it.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Glad you found one one you liked. Sounds like the trans is working out well.

[@DLHFarms]

So far so good!

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Very quiet tractor, I'm impressed. In Ireland we call " tedding " turning the hay.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Don 👍 basically yes that's what tedding does. Not sure where the term tedding came from.

[@mp3625]

You will enjoy your JD Dennis but i believe the engineering on the tractor is basic due to large gears and mass production. Its also good to be able to hear your tractor when its working.

[@Ghostrider304]

Glad you’re liking that green machine.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks 👍

[@randallbyrd1973]

TY for sharing

[@DLHFarms]

👍

[@liamhennessy31]

Denis, just a suggestion. We’ve a 120R at work and sometimes the loader is hard to put back on. To make it easier we take it off with the bucket against a wall just in case we need to push against something.

[@qwillaqwincy]

I imagine having the right tool for the job when it excells at the tasks, takes the 'work' out of the chore. To me that's a blessing to fully enjoy and I'd be tickled, too. And as much time as your worklife is spent in a tractor, you should definitely expect it to be worth every penny you paid for it, imho. 🙂

[@DLHFarms]

Exactly! Well said! Thanks 👍

[@PA_Wilds_Coyote]

Oh Dennis!! your starting to get green blood in your veins!!! lol nice tractor, can't wait for more videos of square baling and round baling to get your perspective on the tractors performance

[@DLHFarms]

Haha more videos coming 👍

[@robinlance]

Dennis, So glad you love that new John Deere. We should Hear more of your Son's great Saying's of life. "Knee Back" lol.... God bless.

[@DLHFarms]

Lol👍

[@marhuf]

Nice one Dennis. Thanks for taking us along for the tedding. By the way, it sounds like you have the same humidity problems we do here in NW Ohio(the old black swamp area).

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it's a humid place here. Thanks again for sending me that steering knob! Take care!

[@marhuf]

You're welcome, and make sure you give it a good work out.

[@scottaddison8071]

I love my JD 6130R and I agree about the loader easy on/off and the tractor rides better without the loader. I took the silly looking front fenders off and now I really have the ultimate visibility. It looks and feels like a real tractor without the front fenders

[@DLHFarms]

Glad you like it. I can't stand to run a tractor without front fenders once you drive in the mud you can kiss your visibility goodbye.

[@jerrysalgat3406]

I believe all tractors have their good and bad points. It's just hard to find one that meets your needs and price range. Hope this one works out for you. Also glad that you weren't color blind, I have a Massey that met my needs and price range. I looked at a lot of tractors before I found it. All different colors.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep your exactly right!

[@leol1682]

Thanks 👍

Awesome job as usual. I see even a bigger John Deere in your future !!

[@DLHFarms]

I doubt it, but probably a smaller one like a 5R

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Ahhhh tractor therapy see ya Napa mike 👍

[@DLHFarms]

Haha 👍

[@joelcowdreyiii6745]

Tedding is a step that I can omit here where I live. July, August and September in North Texas is like standing under a giant hair dryer. Have to be careful or the hay will turn chalky and squeaky dry.

[@DLHFarms]

I don't doubt that. You can leave hay down for a week here and bottom will still be green.

[@1995jug]

I do believe you like that tractor, good deal.

[@DLHFarms]

Just a little haha

[@matthewsims359]

seems like you a very satisfied with the deere. my buddy has always been a massey guy and he just bought his first jd. he said he knows now why jd people are jd people. he loves it.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep they are nice

[@jimrichards8703]

It's a great feeling when you spend that kinda money and get more than you bargained for, hope it pans out for a long time

[@DLHFarms]

Sure is! I think it's going to do just fine

[@Jacob_6420]

Have they made any improvements on that krone tedder? Older models you could only transport about 10 mph due to the weight or it would blow the tires out. My dad's friend had one and got rid of it due to so many blow outs where it swerved all over the road. We have a kuhn and you can do about 45 before it will sway. Just curious how that model krone is. I'm sure they improved them.

[@DLHFarms]

Haven't had any blow outs the tires are 10 ply

[@orkidknog4147]

do you think the tyres are to hard making it vibrate or could be the make of tyres perhaps, im glad its only road speed that bugs you its very quite in the cab by the sounds of it, and looks nice,

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it's definitely a tire thing but it's not a huge deal.

[@waynekingery4254]

Well I see that you made a decision to get you a John Deere tractor me and my grandson loves to watch you on KZbin every time he comes over my house he says Papa wash some tractors and then I turned to your channel and we watch you mow hay rake hay bale hay

[@DLHFarms]

That's awesome 👍 I love kids!

[@treyenright5529]

Is cab on the 6110 the same size as the 6130 that you had on demo.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it's the same

[@joshuapreusser2265]

I'm going to be interested in how easily (or not) the loader goes back on. :) After helping my grandfather takeoff and reinstall a loader on one of his tractors years ago, the difficulty of reinstalling was enough that he never did it again...... and based on that experience I'm not sure I'd even want to try with my own (newer) tractor (especially not without having a hard/flat surface to part the loader on).

[@DLHFarms]

It went back on in 2 minutes with one trip out of the tractor.

[@joshuapreusser2265]

@@DLHFarms Wow - that definitely beats all the re-positioning and prying to realign pins I remember having to do years ago. Thanks for the feedback.

[@noelhohberger1188]

Have you had any trouble with welds on the Tedder. We had a krone swadro rake frickin welds were always breaking. The we went up too a 3 wheel and it had no problems was a nice deal

[@DLHFarms]

All the friggin guards have broken off of it just from normal use bouncing through the fields.

[@ozarkhayandcattle5799]

Iv got a 1986 JD 3150 with a JD 265 loader on it. It is easier to take on & off of it than the nh ts115A or mf 5455 that iv owned. Deere has been ahead on several thinbs for quite some time.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I agree on that👍

How’s the ride on the R tractor does it have any suspension?

[@DLHFarms]

It's better than the T5 and no it doesn't have any suspension.

[@warrentavernia5136]

if you really want to get rid of the road vibrations when you can put a set of LSW tires on and that will be the end of vibrations a compaction.

[@DLHFarms]

Had to look those up. Dang what tires haha

Looks like you are enjoying the JD. Are you planning to push snow with it?

It will run the snow blower like I used the T5 for

[@country-uc3vc]

What do u think about 2680 massey tractor looking at buying one and it does a third function on the loader

[@DLHFarms]

Don't know nothing about those but have heard they are troublesome.

[@country-uc3vc]

@@DLHFarms thank u for advice what would you suggest for a farm tractor for starting out

[@DonegalTDI]

I think your tractor was built in Mannheim in Germany and probably that's why it feels so well screwed together. I was at that factory about 7 years ago (long story) and they are serious people about quality control both on the assembly line and final testing. Also went to the Deere cab and combine factories and their spare parts dispatch location. Germans, not known for their sense of humour(they do, but you need to be very smart to understand it), but by golly they can do quality, and they are proud of it in ze fatherland, and rightly so.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah they make some good stuff over there in that country

[@southernfarmer8526]

Gonna have to update your KZbin pic now! 😂😂😂

[@DLHFarms]

True that's actually the T4 in that pic.

[@mountainviewfarm8304]

Looking like your gonna be a johndeere guy now !! I think I'm gonna switch colors as well.....

[@DLHFarms]

Sounds like a plan

[@chucklesx]

You might be able to stop the vibration by changing the tyre pressures up or down.

[@DLHFarms]

Your probably right but you can't let air out of them because of the fluid in them. I'm afraid to put air in them because if it makes it worse I can't let it out.

[@chucklesx]

@@DLHFarms... Ah ok, never been a fan of fluid in tires. Costs abit more initially but I much prefer wheel center weights.

[@williambrewer6346]

@@DLHFarms Put the valve stem at 12 o-clock and adjust pressure to allow tires full flat contact to the ground, you will have to make small adjustments to your conditions. I don't run fluid in the front tires. Happy Harvesting!

[@mikesavavge3365]

Did the loader go on as easy as came off Dennis? .l can't remember seeing a video of the 4710 with the loader off .Have you taken it off many times ?.Always nice to get loader off any tractor . showers make hay time hard work , But try making hay Cumbria England.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it went on just as easy. Drive into it get out once put the stands up hook up the hydraulics and go. My Massey doesn't have a single point hydraulic connection so it can be a pain to get the hydraulics hooked back up and I use the loader on it every time I make hay so I just leave it on.

[@grantpharazyn7287]

The vibration on the road is most likely due to the front tires being pumped up hard for loader work! I bet if you dropped your tire pressure on the fronts with the loader off it would mostly go away!

[@DLHFarms]

Maybe they don't seem all that hard but I haven't put a gage on them yet

[@FiremedicGross]

Nice tractor will your snow pushing equipment fit this new John deer?

[@DLHFarms]

I have a blade and snow blower that will fit right on it.

The roots from the trees sucking up the nutrients. Grass won’t do as well there.

[@tekjunkie28]

About the rain chances per day.... when they say 10% that is actually a coverage of rain.. not chances of rain. IDk what a coverage area is but if it says 10 percent and you got raid you were just in that particular spot.. I recommend you get Radar Scope on your phone. It can show you where you are and its VERY local and highly detailed. If i was gonna be in a field I would NOT want to bewithout that.

You haven't installed a knob on the steering wheel yet...and how much DEF does it use compared to the MF?

[@DLHFarms]

I have the knob laying on my desk! Not sure compared to the Massey but I've only put def in it once in 90 hours.

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

Dennis tedder could possibly be over revving if u are using 540E . I think krone recommend 350 to 450 on the pto which would put the tractor in the economical rpm range anyway ~~

[@DLHFarms]

I don't remember seeing that anywhere and I think it runs to slow even at 540

I have to ted hay here twice to get it to dry evenly. I agree about the tractors too- you spend all that money and you should expect a quality piece of equipment. I just did a video on a Farmall 70A that we have as a loaner tractor. Let's just say its not an impressive tractor lol
