I know how ya feel. Stuff always breaking. Was plowing today and ac compressor locked up and broke belt. Luckily i was able to finish but when it 32c out it tends to get hot in the cab
Hello Andy very neat hay cutting swathes. So unfortunate to have 2 breakdowns on front and rear mower that hay was so thick not surprised it burnt the bearings on the front PTO SHAFT .hope the combine stays free from breakdowns looking forward to more harvest videos this year.
My baler kept burning out slip clutches to the extent I swapped the whole shaft for an older one with sheer bolts. It would block with half a bale in and just jam solid, new shaft on and apart from breaking a sheer bolt or two it’s never jammed up yet!
You didn't have too much luck with mowing indeed. Was it overly thick the grass? Or just worn out and unlucky? I mowed the 1st part of our 1st cut, heavy and flat grass on a field that barely was dry enough for a tractor. When loading the bales i got stuck with not even half a load.. but got it dry in the wrap, so thats good. 😊
John Deere’s are made by Kuhn and if you think about it problems were not with the mowers manufacturer except the broken spring which was an easy fix. The blockages were because of the amount of grass and to high speed of mowing and the slip clutch is made by walterschied so it is their fault, but you cant get any better pto schafts then walterschied. So I dont think that these are bad mowers.
Had a mare on this episode mate 🤣

R mate you have had a right nightmare with this 😭🤦😠. But like always you kept cool and got on with it hopefully your be all good next time round 👍
Great video mate
Wow what a day but as you said It dose happen that way some times.
great video
Great job considering the problems you had!
Must be time to trade in those mowers for a set of triples... 😊
Well you definitely were on fire cutting grass this year😂
The only luck you had was that rain missed you, we been making hay over at Tilshead/ on the plains and it came down heavy for half hour
Real life video. Hope things improve mate.
Jobs a good un mate

Would you not turn the engine off when trying to fix as precaution?
It never rains but it pours as they say and you had a right downfall that day. What did you say to upset the mowers so much?
Great video why don’t you just leave the wings on mowers up , save you some time , I’ve never lowered them and still works the same
Yea by the time I get to the third field I can’t be bothered to unfold them lol
They things happen mate
You know those days where you should have stayed in bed….😆🤦♂ We all have them mate
Remember bad things come in threes
I was saying last time buttfly mower perhaps demonstrated one's
Grass isn't too thick John Deere mowers cut heavy first cut crop all day long in Ireland, your driving too hard that's your problem
That was a bad for you that's farming
Go and buy a krone big m mower 450
Jd should just stick with tractors. That mower is shite. A jf from the 90's would of cut that no problem. Buy a kuhn or a krone.
John Deere mowers are Kuhn's painted Green..Krone are good as are McHale....Malone...🚜
Kuhn and Johndeere are the same mowers just painted different
About what I was about to say. JD don’t make mowers they just spray them jd colours.

Go slower
You will use jd crap
