Sums it up that a farmer would protect his tractor bonnet but not his head. It's not so much bits of hedge the window guards protect you from, it is a flail coming off that will kill you. But hey who wants to clean mesh out? Poly will cloud if left forever in the sun, but taken off each season and stored not so much. poly can also be buffed back if it clouds.

[@valentinstemate2618]

How often do you attach it? How long it takes to attach it ? Is it a specific position of the flail when drop it off? I prefer the arm along the line with the tractor,not perpendicular.

[@cntslesfabrication]

You don't need to explain yourself to anyone. Keep up the great work

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thankyou mate

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s some outfit, very best of luck with it lads 👍

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thankyou Adrian.. you happy with yours?

[@Panchdeburca]

Great video Adam, a fair job putting it on by yourself, you can’t beat having a couple of bodies when hooking up machinery, but to be fair you set that up very well

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thankyou mate.. to be honest I find it easier putting something like that on my own.

[@georgedoorley5628]

@@Adamhayteamtv might be as safe in the long run .........2 people is fine 99.9% of the time ......... i very nearly lost my hand putting on a rotavator on a tractor a few years back because of the man in the tractor , was not fully concentrating fully ............

[@fibreguy1971]

I find it safer to do it yourself so you know nothing will be dropped on you or toplink not attatched when someone raises arms. Many people get trapped that way.

[@NEDGEC]

how do you find the view with the T6. I currently trim with an 8560 but thinking of changing to a 6080 iv heard the view is not great compared to the 60 series or tm any truth to that

[@barbarian6850]

Good to see that you're using a quality impact gun 👍

[@Adamhayteamtv]

It’s a good quality gun.. we really like it

[@richjcb1196]

What’s the Maktia impact gun like ? Looks nice and compact. I’ve got a Milwaukee plenty of power but quite bulky

[@Adamhayteamtv]

I’m really quite impressed with it mate.. not the most powerful gun.. but it’s really light and does pack a punch..

[@markbell6334]

Smart tidy/handy set up that 👍 I trim with a TM 155 its just a bit long for turning round in narrow lanes. Ever thought of putting a side wiper on? Be ideal on t6 cab. Best thing I ever done! 👍

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Nice tractor that is.. no it’s not something we have ever looked at to be honest with you

[@SAB_Agri]

Mark Bell It’s Hard to beat TM’s I trim with TM140 on 700 Tyres’s, and your right a bit big/long for wee lanes 🤔👍

[@Andy-From-England]

I didn't know how much work involved to fit a new trimmer cool video guys

[@Adamhayteamtv]

It’s only hard work when it’s new as it’s not set up for the tractor.. so next time we put it on it will be done in half the time.. 😃thanks for watching

[@georgedoorley5628]

@@Adamhayteamtv only a once a year job .........i find that you always leave it on till you are finished cutting .........i can see the end in sight for me for this year thank god ..........

[@tincan6929]

Polycarbonate sheet I use then use turtle wax to keep it clean it has a static cling when dry that is the only thing not lost a window yet lol

[@chrislee2221]

I for one like your bonnet guard, does the job and once bolted up looks good plus shaped to tractor. Be good to sort a door/window even if it is weld mesh that needs clearing at times, I know a contractor that hit some old barbed wire grown into a hedge , a 2 or 3" long piece of barbed came through the side and straight into an eye. Was not a good outcome.

[@johnmatthews454]

Great job Adam Nightmare on your own. Don't forget where you put the stands 👍

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thankyou mate.. they are somewhere so safe I will forget where, by the end of the season 😂😂

[@mattya6787]

I've been flailing for years and I aswell as people I know never use guards , I've had self sets as thick as my wrist smash of the bonnet and windows and it's never smashed anything. Each to there own but just makes it look like something out of robot wars 🤔

[@jammydodgerplays397]

Amazing vid! Keep up the amazing work guys! I hope you are all well!

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thank you very much mate

[@shaunwilliams934]

Nice video. What size tires are you using front and back and do you use offside weights?

[@Adamhayteamtv]

We are using 600s back and 480 front. And no onside weights

[@declanfarmerjoyce7639]

😱😱🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙈🙈 Good man Adam, you've very nearly rang that first nut. You were losing, it looks like that anyway to me. 😂😂😅😅🤣🤣👏👏👍 Great video aswell. 👏👏👍👍

[@kevinroberts2014]

Hi Adam great video , a lot of hedge's needing taming, I'm in the same situation late hay season lost a month of trimming time and still not hitched mine up yet , l,m stuck in office on end of year accounts

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Thank you mate.. yea we need to crack on with ours now fingers crossed the weather holds off abit..

[@paraffindan]

how did you get on pinning the stand up out the road , behind the oil tank ??

[@thehayteamtv6830]

paraffindan we just take them off

[@paraffindan]

@@thehayteamtv6830 wait till you go to put it back on , watch you dont put you back out trying to hold it up and get the pin in , ive a 8560 on axel brackets mcconnel needing a redesign on that leg imo

[@fibreguy1971]

Lovely trimmer. I can only fit a Bomford Raven on my jd4720. Just waiting for a dry spell.

[@hsagri69]

Bet ur getting giddy to get out with her. Iv used both xtc control and evolution both have there plus and minus points tbf. When we hook up we raise the cutter side link arm a touch so in theory the cutter side level on the tractor when working

[@Adamhayteamtv]

I’ve been out trimming with her already. The 5 ft head makes a real difference.. Yea that’s what I did in the end to level her out abit.. I didn’t say it in the vid as I did it after 😂😂

[@cormacmegaw6038]

I do the same, also would change those F14's, never used them myself on a Tuff cut head but have heard a few horror stories from my friends ripping rotor lugs off Multi-cut heads, on the plus side the flail didn't break. I got onto F11's (Competition) they seem to work well if you meet a stone.

[@bogard36]

Don't forget to fold down the lifting eye and bolt it to the pin as it can hit the top panel and dent it when you lift it all the way up cutting high hedges.

[@adam123456789090]

Adam have you got any video from cutters hedge with your new hedge cutters and when will it be uploaded please

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Video of it all working will be up within the next couple of weeks

[@johnaldous1028]

Hi Adam just noticed might help if you used the right end of the spanner on that first nut Working on sunday hope Justin is paying you overtime haha catch you all soon and you all keep well

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Hi john both sides of the spanner are the wrong size.. I couldn’t be bothered to walk to the workshop.. to get the right size.. 😂

[@sethredwood6068]

Why don’t you get a engine cloth that looks exactly the same as a new Holland bonnet

[@Adamhayteamtv]

To be honest I built the bonnet guard with stuff we had lying around on the farm so it didn’t cost us anything. At the end of the day it’s just a guard

[@nickaf5262]

Can’t you mount it on the front

[@Adamhayteamtv]

No you can’t.. it has to be a trimmer made for the front.

[@nickaf5262]

Once I put my hedge trimmer on and lifted the hedge trimmer fully up it snapped the casting that holds the top link on

[@thehayteamtv6830]

Nick AF 😂😂😂

[@daireoreilly7946]

What way does it put all the weight on the a frame, maybe I missed it but it’s different to the way farmer p does on his

[@Adamhayteamtv]

His trimmer would be totally different to put on compared to ours..

[@daireoreilly7946]

Adam Hay team tv yea, how does yours put all the weight on the frame tho ?

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Daire O'Reilly what frame you on about? The actual trimmer A frame?

[@daireoreilly7946]

Adam Hay team tv yea where it goes into the toplink whole on the tractor

[@Adamhayteamtv]

Daire O'Reilly it’s in the video you have a nose on top of the A frame and that slots straight into the gap on the top link hole.. put your pin in and raise the trimmer to your height.. then adjust the A frame top link to level the trimmer out..

[@Robstew9000]

Have you thought of making guards for the wheel like Andy has for his 6215r

[@Adamhayteamtv]

If we were doing a lot of close hedge work then possibly but I don’t really see the point in a wheel guard. We don’t really get a lot of flailings hit the wheel..

[@Robstew9000]

Adam Hay team tv I see...thanks for replying and look forward your next vid...👍
