I've owned NH, MacDon, Massey. I agree with you on everything you've said. Topcon is a joke but new gave Trimble a whole lot better. And my Fendt is awfully complicated for a tractor.
Really enjoyed the vid! I was running a live stream the other day in a tractor and someone asked me who my favorite farmtuber was… Definitely you! Keep up the good work from a fellow Great Plains Farm RUclipsr
Enjoyed that thoroughly, we ran 2 Hesston swathers and a hydro swing for years…loved em…y’all ever thought about installing a shocker hitch for the tender, so it doesn’t jerk you to death? Been trying to plug your channel every chance I get👌🏻y’all be safe🍺🇺🇸🍺
When it comes to swathers I’m a macdon guy which of you get a chance you should try out their new ones smoothest controls I’ve used and you can get support through Deere since John Deere rebands macdon and paints them green
@@highplainsfarmer demo a green one and then if you go to buy one get the red one same machine just 30 grand cheaper lol we priced out both we only swath with ours our hay unit is a new holland bi directional with a 18 foot disc bine head mounted to it and pulling another 18 foot swing arm macdon
Hi High Plains Farmer, my name is Roan. I'm a 34 year old South African seeking employment on farms in USA. I was wondering if you perhaps hire foreign workers under the H2A visa program? Any info would be much appreciated.
For 'US Custom Harvesters', they often take foreign workers from April to allow time to train/ qualify the foreign workers with CDL truck licences so they can shift the harvest equipment and harvested product. Often the Texas wheat harvest starts late April/ early May and harvesters move north as the crops mature.(see Harvest Support USA UK)) The Australian Southern Hemisphere winter grown crop resembles the calendar dates of the summer grown crops in the Northern US.(see CBH Group Western Australia, Agrilabour etc). New Zealand: 'Rural Contractors NZ' has a list of the contractors and the tasks they do.(October to April)
You did well by not buying the New Holland. I own their newest model. It is bad. Probably leaves half bale to the acre in Bermuda grass. Our Agco dealer is piss poor, so I will be going green next time.
Hi from oz. I was a hay contractor here and i wont touch USA made hay gear. You are 10 years behind europe. Look at the krone big m for your swather/mower and if looking to do big square bales krone balers run rings around anything else.
From what I understand off their website, you're talking two different machines for two different uses. The machines shown here don't chop, where as the krone you mentioned repeatedly mention chopping, there appears to be no option for just crimping. Up here on the northern plains bordering Canada, Krone's, the full line, is known for being needlessly over-complicated, unreliable, and over priced. When they are running, people like them, but the cost to get one and keep one, along with the headache, is why Vermeer, IH, NH, Hesston, and Deere keep going here.
@J-1410 go and read what I said. I mentioned 2 machines. The first is the big m. It is self propelled mower(NOT CHOPPER) with option of crimper roller or flail rotor. The other is a big square baler that has knives in it that can be retracted. And I still won't touch most gear made in usa
We've had a Big M2 swath for us before for our silage operation. Not sold on a triple mower though for baling alfalfa. As for Krone balers, I haven't had one myself, but our neighbors had 4 of their 4x4x8 balers years ago. At the time our pair of Hesston 2190(4x4x8) balers could run circles around them. And currently I have no desire to downsize to the 3x4x8 baler models.
So do you have a deer or a macdon. Macdon makes them for deer right
We have a Deere. W235R. I believe the MacDon is a different model series

Glad to see someone agrees with me. lol. I haven't been around a trimble is several years.

Wow dude! Thanks!

I appreciate that. Does shocker make a gooseneck hitch? I knew they had a bumper pull setup.
@@highplainsfarmer yes, gooseneck also!
When it comes to swathers I’m a macdon guy which of you get a chance you should try out their new ones smoothest controls I’ve used and you can get support through Deere since John Deere rebands macdon and paints them green
I've wondered about them. Only know of 1 in the area. Thanks for the advice.

You can get in to the monitor and adjust the steering settings. I have mine at about 5 and 7 on 2 gear
The rear steering sensitivity? We have ours turned all the way down to zero. I haven't seen a different steering setting

Sorry, we are not set up for H2A. Been looking into it but not there yet. Thanks for reaching out though

Dealer support is a major decision in what to buy. We have a pretty good Deere dealer here
