Hey Jimbo, good to see you back. Yeah this heat has been madness! We're about to start harvesting the spring barley ourselves and the wheat is going to be done as soon as we're done with that.
Which part of the country are you located? Pretty much everything has burnt off here. Wheat has scorched, spring beans have aborted top pods and are giving up and getting very short of fresh grass (he says after topping a few fields off...) Should be on osr by the end of the week.
@@jimsfarming7792 East Anglia, about 135 miles east of you. No OSR for us, just spring barley and winter wheat for cereals. This last 10 days has seen the last of green disappear from the fields. Surprisingly the barley was hanging on just as long if not longer than the wheat, but it's all looking ready now.
hi james could you do a new video on the kubota , we have been running kubotas for 14 years now think they are great and have just ordered a specced out m6142 looking forward to it arriving
@@jimsfarming7792 that would be great. would be nice if you could do a comparison to your deere. people are far to snobby about kubota but they are fantastic machines for the price. we priced a jd against kubota and the jd same spec was 24k more.
We spect ours with front linkage, 600 tires and the 2.2t Mx loader with mechanical leveling but in hindsight should have gone for the 2.4 hydraulic. I use a toe tip bucket for loading out grain which holds about 1100kg of wheat, and whilst it has no problem lifting it, it struggles to tip the bucket back when digging into the heap without dropping the loader down. They are supposed to be coming out to try and up the pressure to see if that improves it and we have toyed with the idea of chopping it in for the 2.4. We'd been John Deere for a long time and have a dealership on the doorstep - I'm still a big fan and love our little 6230, but ultimately the decision came down to price. The finish is not to the same level but with the warranty and finance package it was hard to justify the extra money on a basic 6130r.
@Jims Farming I like John deere but prefer someone else to pay for it haha. I think we will have the hydraulic leveling on ours. We have also gone for front links and pto so we can put a front mower on
Great work James.
Have fun with weekend .
