run pto in 1000rpm, but just at 540 on clock, this will give you a nicer ground speed on tractor, but plenty of power in hedgecutter, easier on fuel as well, as revs not as high, ive been operating hedgecutters for over thirty yrs thhat way, tried the ecomony setting on pto wasnt happy, always on 1000rpm at 540 on clock, found the best
@@jamiequinn2378 Yes your correct I had to replace a motor aswell for that reason. 1000 speed is to sharp a start for the motor. You probably should start it in 540 and then change it quickly into 1000 before the head stops but that would b too much hassle.
I always run my hedge cutter in the 1000 shaft, it is a very sharp start off even with the tractor idling but you can cut all day on the smell of diesel, my 6270 runs the engine at 800 revs to produce 400 rpm on the shaft which is what the McConnel manual says to run my cutter PTO shaft at.
Happy birthday Adrian, the Massy looks well with cover on bonnet, right job for hedgecutter. Watch with Adblue if ur leaving some in a drum, make sure cap is air tight or it could start to cristallise and go off. If ya can always use entire drum. Another option if ur not far from a town with filling station that has bulk Adblue is fill tractor at pump, u'd fill the tractor a lot cheaper than in drums and don't have empty drums to get rid of. I know driving to filling station doesn't suit everyone. Hope u fell better soon, enjoy the cake 🎂 🎉
That model of cutter WILL move round and tuck in behind the back wheel of the tractor. You place the head against a tree, a bank of soil, a strong part of the hedge or any other type of resistance. So that when you drive forward it will compress the big spring normally used to reset the arm if you accidentally drive the head into a solid structure. You basically keep compressing the spring till the arm moves round enough so you can latch it in place using the hook that's beside the top flat brace that goes from the main frame to the tank and then your done that's it folded around into transport position.
The PA 92 will manually fold back for traveling on the road, the 93 is the next model up and as I dont have one I cant say for sure but I would assume it manually folds back to for traveling on the road as well but maybe not. You release the pin on the PA 92 break back slide by giving it a 90 degree turn, set the cutter head on the ground, drive forward slowly and when the break back reaches the stop the pin drops down to prevent the arm coming forward again. You lift the head up and pull her in and away you go on the road with no cutter sticking out the side of the tractor. You have to do the opposite to get her back in again for cutting, set head on ground, release pin by lifting it and turning it 90 degrees, reverse slowly back then lift her up. Its surprising what you can learn by reading the operators manual, they are all available to read for all machines on McConnel's website, the older machines manuals are in the archives section.
Although I like your idea with the gate/post, we have locks on all of our gates. Just because in the early 90s they stole 3 brand new gates of of the posts. Luckily it was in the winter so no animals in the field.. so eversince there are locks on ehm.
Copper Beach hedge although being the cheapest is thin and doesn't offer much shelter. It loses its leaf come winter leaving very bare. Maybe look at Laurel more expensive but when it takes off its very solid.
Am just getting over from the man flu knocked right off my feet, good video like watching hedge cutting been done, good mention about Farmer P he knows his stuff about trees and that sort of stuff
I had a pa 95 it had a latch that held break back so it could fold back to go down the road. I think you would get on better with the front hood on flail head opened up to let the hedge into it . And you can get that ad blue piddle deleted off you tractor and it goes just the same
Go for green beech Adrian. The copper is nice but it absorbs all the light when it gets big and will make the place looks very dark. Green beech is the way to go.
Feel better very soon Adrian! Keep the girls away until you are better. Scheduled to receive my annual flu vaccination tomorrow morning. Thank you for sharing.🐄🐄💉

@@richardkehoe142 You can. I have seen it done before. You just replace the spring with a hydraulic ram instead but you need to tee in an acculator. It will allow the oil to compress so the arm can move back if you accidentally drive into something solid while cutting.

where did you get the clear screens that you have over the windows on the tractor ? mcconnel pa 500 , has power slew and is 3 pl mounted and not as hard to put on as a 93 ......power slew handy for cutting right into corners .......
It should swing around manually and lock in place for transport. Not full around but about 45°. I dont use it on mine much only for going through the town.
Well it's a heavy spring you push against I dont think there's anything to jam it really. Just pivots on two points. I put the head against a tree or something solid and drive slowly forward.
Trust me them doors glass do break like a gun going off polley carb 8mm thick fit as best you can to clean both sides clean with turtle wax or cream best to keep the visible and keep oil away as best you can 😂 you can us mesh but there are holes in that idear !!! 😂😊
Get tested for covid, I had what I thought was a bad cold ,at the insistence of my wife ,I got a pcr test because I was hosting a farm walk,we were both positive , she had no symptoms were both double vaccinated got over it alright was conscious of passing it on.
I have two, both Stihl. One hand held and one backpack. The hand held has plenty of power and costs a fraction of the other. I’ll post up the model later when I get home and check.
does that heifer that is not thriving need a gut probiotic - her gut just has not come back after the stress of getting sick - NZ has a product called BioStart Ruminant so Ireland must have a similar product - do you check the colostrum with a brix metre to ensure that the new calves get 22 or above as there first feed - 30 is the best level on the brix metre for colostrum for good gut health for the heifer calves you are keeping according to the vet and important for the overall health of the calve for the length of its life on the farm
Adrian did you play Conkers when you were a boy 👦 farmer P. @ the funky farmer 👩🌾 are having a Conker fight happy birthday hope you have a great day ☝️👍👍👌👩🌾🚜
Hi Adrian, have you tried when driving on lanes and things catching the arm of the hedge cutter on the breakaway, there should be a clip to catch it and that should tuck the head neatly in behind the back wheel and not catch in anything.
Adrian you should get in touch with darry McGovern he has a RUclips channel and he is a friend of mine and he has a hazelnut orchid he would be happy to give you a hand
All the beech are non native species as are sycamore and chestnut How about planting a native species like Alder, Birch, Cherry, Blackthorn, Whitehorn, Crabapple, Hazel, Holly, Oak, Mountain Ash, Scots pine, Whitethorn, Willow and Yew.
Hope your feeling better. And many happy returns. See you in the next video
Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Hope you’re feeling better.

1000 shaft and if u put revs at 1200 aun clock it b running at 540
Just be careful because I have just burned out the motor because I have ran the hedge cutter on the 1000 but apart from that 1000 is better than 540

Willow & poplar trees can also be used as cattle fodder with increased milk production gained. New Zealand has been doing this for years
Sounds like the guards are doing their jobs for the hedge cutting! Great video as always
Nice video. Quickly approaching 50k
Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself

A mix of whitethorn, holly and beech or hornbeam would look great, nice solid stock proof hedge in years to come. 😊

U have to use the T for the quick return. P stands for pressure T for tank return. And ls for loadsensing.
Yes that’s it, unfortunately mine were moved about into the wrong ports but were sorted now 👍
Ya
Happy birthday Adrian hope you feel better soon
I would plant a holy hedge. It will grow very thick and be stock proof. Thanks for the video

Love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻the tractor 🚜 looks well with the cover on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚜🚜
You can get barrels of adblue with a small pump on it so you dont have to lift up those containers of adblue.
Mix your trees and hedging, copper beech are great once they get going, mix copper and green and whitethorn gives a nice hedge.
Am just getting over from the man flu knocked right off my feet, good video like watching hedge cutting been done, good mention about Farmer P he knows his stuff about
trees and that sort of stuff
Happy birthday Adrian have a good day 🎂🎂
thanks for the vid adrian, not easy when you dont feel well
Great video.
Just goes to show no matter the situation whether your sick or healthy the show must go on, farmwork still needs doing get well soon👍

Was getting seasick following the top of that hedge 😉😁
It should swing back manually and a hook holdind back there was on a pa95 i used
I have a PA95 and it has the lock back. Took me a few minutes to figure it out alright!
Another great video Adrian. Get well soon
Nice one Adrian, she better than a bell hook any day, keep at her Lad!
Great video. Happy birthday!
It will be any easy one for me to remember, you share a birthday with my wife.
Happy Birthday lad hope you’re feeling better for the day thats in it 😂👍🏻
Great video Adrian happy bday 👍
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday!
Another great video hope you start feeling well soon
Happy birthday forty’s the new twenty s.
I like that
It was celebrated a lot differently when I was in the 20’s 🤪
great video, take care of yourself, things aren't to good these days
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Whitethorn hedge good choice. Hard tree 👍
Feel better very soon Adrian! Keep the girls away until you are better.
Scheduled to receive my annual flu vaccination tomorrow morning.
Thank you for sharing.🐄🐄💉
Get well soon Adrian
Hi Adrian turn your spool pressure down to like half still enough to use the hedge cutter at the moment your just pumping got oil round your tractor
Great video video lovely set up
Happy birthday hope u had a great day
Happy birthday Adrian
You could fry an egg on the back end of a massey, only they never left a flat spot to pt the pan
John Deere make good pans I believe 😜
@@IFarmWeFarm I would think they would because everything else they make is pretty darn good

I have a cold too its really annoying

Good video Adrian 👍
Happy birthday adrian 🎂 great video as always 🚜💯🤘🏼
She is a great hedge cutter
I’ve the same hedgecutter but ours has a catch, leave the head down and drive forward and it goes back 30degrees and it latches into place
Ya the piston that goes up the centre of the breakaway spring on mine has a slight bend in it. Mine won’t go back fare enough to latch in
I have a pa93 and I often wonder if you could put a ram on the hedgecutter instead of forcing it into the locked position
@@richardkehoe142 You can. I have seen it done before. You just replace the spring with a hydraulic ram instead but you need to tee in an acculator. It will allow the oil to compress so the arm can move back if you accidentally drive into something solid while cutting.

Will u slow down when doing the top, less haste more speed and you’ll do a much better job, your doing a grand job though Adrain 👍👍👍
Ya can pull the arm around 1/4 of the way the tuck in nice enough that way
Adrian with the add blue, did you open the black cap on too if the drum? If you open that the add blue flows out much quicker
Oh yes for sure 👍
where did you get the clear screens that you have over the windows on the tractor ?
mcconnel pa 500 , has power slew and is 3 pl mounted and not as hard to put on as a 93 ......power slew handy for cutting right into corners .......
Happy birthday Adrian👍👍 Same day as myself
Happy birthday mate
What type of meal bin ye gettin we’ve a roblew great bin
Was that white diesel you’re using Adrian? If so why?
It should swing around manually and lock in place for transport. Not full around but about 45°. I dont use it on mine much only for going through the town.
Ya there’s something wrong with mine, it won’t go back freely. It does move a bit but takes to much force
Well it's a heavy spring you push against I dont think there's anything to jam it really. Just pivots on two points. I put the head against a tree or something solid and drive slowly forward.
Might be worth sticking the heifer in a house. With the change in temp and weather could be upsetting her abit.
Trust me them doors glass do break like a gun going off polley carb 8mm thick fit as best you can to clean both sides clean with turtle wax or cream best to keep the visible and keep oil away as best you can 😂 you can us mesh but there are holes in that idear !!! 😂😊
You can lock the brake away on them pa93 it swings behind the wheel for bring on roads
Few hot whiskeys lad!
Happy late bday
Anyone else see a video and go “Nono, not yet. I’ll save that for later”
get a scarf on.... just because suns out dont mean it aint cold around the throat... also drink plenty of warm water not cold drinks...
I didn’t think you got a high temp from the cold, Flu yes Anyway get well soon
Some people call it a flu and others a cold, it’s all nuisance either way 🤧
Great channel Fella
Hope you shake that flu off 👍🏼😎

Ya need to be wearing one of your hats
How come you use white diesel over in Ireland for agricultural use and the rest of the uk run on red diesel
We don't we use green diesel and white for cars , the clear liquid in the drum was Adblue
@@paulnewman2115 it looks white on the camera
@@sniperrhyshughes6648 it just looks like that under pressure it makes it look frothy
Looking at buying a new 7718 S and im thinking itd be a real shame if something was to mysteriously happen to the aul adblue censor
What model leaf blower do you own, buying one for my dad for the autumn, would you recommend yours or another model
Stihl
I have two, both Stihl. One hand held and one backpack. The hand held has plenty of power and costs a fraction of the other. I’ll post up the model later when I get home and check.
@@IFarmWeFarm bg86 or bg56 i'd say
I can see people going around hanging gates crooked like Adrian 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So can you not use red diesel in Ireland? Noticed you were putting white diesel into the massey
No it’s green diesel where we are, Red diesel in the UK. White diesel in commercial vehicles
@@IFarmWeFarm That's interesting. Cheers for the reply. Learnt something new

That’s a very good point, we started it on Natural yogurt yesterday. It’s doing very well again. Pro Rumen is also a great oral treatment
How are you finding the ad blue
It’s the blue cap 🤣🤣. Government juice we call it
Where did u get the cover for the door
Tractor guard sean
that looked like white diesel that you filled the tractor with ?
No it just looks like that under pressure ,looks abit frothy
As above road diesel is white in lreland as in cars and trucks
Green diesel for farm machinery
And exempt plant and machines
Same as red in Britain
Adrian did you play Conkers when you were a boy 👦 farmer P. @ the funky farmer 👩🌾 are having a Conker fight happy birthday hope you have a great day ☝️👍👍👌👩🌾🚜
pa 93 does fold in behind the tractor.let the hedge cutter down and drive forward and pull the rope
Hi Adrian, have you tried when driving on lanes and things catching the arm of the hedge cutter on the breakaway, there should be a clip to catch it and that should tuck the head neatly in behind the back wheel and not catch in anything.
not tell you what to do the slower you go the better job slow is best
🎂👍🏻
Way are you keeping those tires?…all they do is make your beautiful farm look 👀 unsightly and it’s a gathering place for critters!
Can’t find anyone to take them, both hopefully we’ll find a recycling company to take them soon. Will be glad to see them gone forward sure
R u using clear diesel in that tractor
