You turned the mower on with pto on 1000 speed, normally a mower like that wants 540

[@tomswart8556]

Yea good point

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yep rookie error 😩😂

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Best of luck with the new tractor Andrew

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks Adrian 👍

[@philipcarr92]

Love the new, NH. If one of the blades on your mower hits a rock & snaps it will be a missile that (cab or no cab) could injure you or your dad. Even stones flying up could break one of your new windows. Some tin or board on the top & some sort of skirt might save you some money or a trip to hospital. Take care!

[@louispower2853]

I’ve commented about that mower on other videos too it’s a health hazard but no one else seemed to agree with me.

[@HootMaRoot]

That's exactly what I was thinking when I seen the mower, just having a tarpaulin over the front half would make me feel a lot safer

[@JP-gi2pr]

Agreed...stay safe Andrew...no 1 job is to get skirting on the mower.

[@philipcarr92]

Good luck with the new tractor Andrew. Yes a new skirt on the mower is a must 👌. As well as the danger, it will destroy the tractor throwing cow poo etc up onto it. New Holland are very popular here in Ireland. Enjoy and mind the children.

The little one is a 354 I think 🤔 but good little tractor 👍

[@paddyboy557]

Good video Andrew if you are going to be using the loader a lot it might be worth considering a weight on the back of the tractor it would help the front axel a lot and make the tractor safer. All the best

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah not a bad idea, I don’t have a weight but other than stacking bales it wouldn’t get to much of a workout 👍

[@brenttonks4249]

Good tractor, the T6000 are a good all round tractor. One question I have is, why do most cockies buy tractors with quick release loaders and never take them off when they don’t need them on? All this does is wear out pins and bushes in the loader arms and put more stress on the front axle. Save yourselves the $$$ on premature wear and maintenance and get longer service from your investment. Just an observation, not having a go at you, love your video’s keep it up.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Nah that’s a fair point, I couldn’t take it off because it didn’t come with the loader stands, I need to buy some.

[@brenttonks4249]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer My clients probably thought I had two heads when I was hay contracting, because I would turn up to a job with the loader on, then take it off in the corner of the paddock. I would do whatever I had to, mow, rake or bale, then put the loader back on and do the loader work. The end result being that when I sold the tractor, the loader was still tight and during the time I had the tractor, I never had to do work on the front axle of any sort. But each to their own I guess.

[@brenttonks4249]

Forgot to mention the way better visibility without the loader on also.

[@lynetteholyoake5337]

Matukituki River valley which flows into Lake Wanaka

I thought it might’ve been on the wrong lake 👍

[@jackdennehy-coles8119]

Before you sell ya self on a Sam would pay to check out a tow n fert or similar as people seem to be saying pretty good things about them. But anyway the flexibility of putting your own with anything would be better all round. Also you may want to think about skirts and top for that mower as well.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I have heard some good things about tow and fert so might have to do some more research on it. Yep mowers currently getting fixed now

[@rancher4911]

Best of luck with it. Will u sell one of the other tractor s now

Haha possibly, yeah it is easy to use contractor for most stuff 👍

Happy days ahead nice

[@KiwiJim13]

You have got your cab tractor Mr Makay it's up to you but i would put the rhs mudgard extension back on they keep the glass cleaner is it 4 or 6 cyclinder motor? Should be plenty big enough for pulling a Sam spreader it looks to have a good loader with a euro hitch what are the loader pins like ? If theirs any play in them it would be worth your while to have them replaced

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

6 cylinder this one, loader pins are a bit average so need looking to at some point 👍

[@stevedarcy9542]

Awesome video as always Andrew. Great investment mate. I think it’s going to take at least a couple of weeks, to get that smile off your face haha. Shame you didn’t have the excavator to go with it, maybe in the future?. Does your dad like it, or haven’t you let him have a go on it yet. Looks fantastic in blue. Thanks Andrew for sharing.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

He drove it a bit the other day but still prefers his fiat 😂

[@bigears4426]

4800 isn't low in my opinion, hope if everything goes well , bloody expensive if you have to split them. When baling you can't beat a cab especially when dusty

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

It’s pretty low for 2nd hand here, but yeah real nice having a cab now 😂

[@Cotlandfarmer]

Nice tractor Andrew, with fertilizer price rising would you consider a tow and fert next year?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks mate, yeah it’s definitely consider and look into one, I’d have to do a bit of research as I don’t know too much about them but they are getting popular aye

[@jamieshields9521]

Not bad tractor for the hours👍we have NH tractors at work but they are fitted with poor design/made Chellenger loaders. Hope you get good run with NH n with TLC you get more 10,000 hrs without problems👍

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah and it’ll take us a while to get to 10k 👍

[@purplerunner1715]

Don't know the price you paid for it, but given the amount of hours on the clock it looks pretty well. Best of luck with her, hope she will pay herself off quick and last for years to come.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks mate 👍

[@andrewball9999]

A trailed spreader is a valuable bit of equipment. Especially so close to the fert depot. We are 4 km from ours and sometimes will visit 2 or 3 times a day. We've got a T6020 and a T6040 and both easily operate the 6 ton spreader, it is a flat farm but the T6030 is a 6 cylinder so will have no problem on your rolling country. You'll never look at a non cab tractor the same now LOL

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

That’s good to know thanks, must go all right if you have 2 👌

[@MarkDonnelly-j9v]

Hi i like your video

[@reubensterling6378]

Ok, so the JD hat in the last video was a bit of a smoke screen but I was still right. I have a T6070 with the same hours, try swapping the gas struts on the door over if the right one is still good, no one ever opens that side. Ive been hunting for a dicky seat for mine as well but im too tight to buy a new one. If I could post a pic on here i'd show you but I painted my rims black and the blue with navy blue and put a stainless straight pipe on. Oh and that screen over the sunroof is meant to be a sun visor for the windscreen, they should have a sliding screen with the same fabric as the roof that slides and covers over the sunroof. But enjoy, you'll be spending more time behind the wheel now for sure. Can't beat an older Aitchison drill for value for money but the duncans are good for sure. I forgot what else you talked about so I will end my ramble now

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

[@johnjordan4647]

Love the enthusiasm Andrew, Talk about a kid with a new toy. Did Jacinda give you a tax break on the purchase or is it only available on the purchase of new equipment. Hey what is the broad leaf plant in your pasture? Is it a weed or nutrition . Hope the milk price remains up there so you can fund some more capital equipment. The tractor fleet is growing just like sugar cane farmers in our region of North Queensland. When they purchase a new tractor they NEVER get rid of the old one

[@reubensterling6378]

Hey mate, that weed looked like a dock, cows will eat it if the leaf is young but its a prick of a thing this time of year as when it goes to seed, bloody hard to get rid of too. And the only thing Jacinda is giving farmers is the middle finger... shes def not about supporting the rural industry

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yep it’s a dock (weed) I was listening to the radio a while back and they were saying in Aus if you brought a new tractor you don’t have to pay any GST on it or something along those lines 😲

[@beckypitts7241]

The blue matches your overalls, it could be your Farm Colour. Being a woman I'm not too good with all the technical aspects of machines, but all in my head when you talked about your dreams for next year, was you farm but as a theme parks we have in England called "DiggerLand" Basically its a theme park just full of tractors and diggers and there or mini scale JCB and you drive them. Dig, scope and just play. Should google some images. It's always wonderful when you get something new to you. Personal you don't always have to get the brand new item etc just to keep up with 'The Jones' Family' no point in getting into extra debt just to get the newest and biggest on the block. When you get something brand new especially a vehicle you don't use it to its full potential as your worried it get knocked, damaged broken. Well that's what I noticed within my family and friends. Enjoy your new ride, has She got a Name yet?? Maybe you could open up a suggestion poll for your viewers to vote or suggest a name for her

[@ericwd1694]

That mower looks a bit fast. A Lely T mower would need a 1:1 1st gearbox (one input turn to one output turn) to run on 1000 .. if you’ve got a 1:2 (one input turn to 2 output ) 1st gearbox it’s 540. The drop gearbox is a 1:3 meaning if your on 1000 and you should be on 540 your discs are doing 6000rpm when they should be doing 3000rpm
