Thank You for watching. Please consider subscribing to our UA-cam channel.
This is a beautiful mower. I do wish we had had this in the 50/60’s. Great video Tommy. Also loved the ride through Limerick!
Thank you so much for making and posting this great video! We are so glad you are happy with your purchase of a Maschio Gaspardo Fiore. Please tag us in your future posts so we can enjoy future videos. @maschiogaspardonorthamerica
Thank You. It’s a very nice-running mower
Keep the updates on this coming. I have the same one. Been running sickle mowers all my life.
Thank You. I love sickle mowers. Maintenance is key. Yes, I’ll have more videos this summer
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm sub'd to keep up with ya. Lol
@@haleyfarmz thank you 😊
They are awesome mowers. It looks identical to my Frontier Mower I bought in 2018 along with my John Deere tractor. Only difference is yours is red while mine is green.
As you said "rebranding" and changing names. Great video.
It’s the same mower. 😊
Good video Mr. Tom👍. Get that grass clipped to promote new growth. Thats a good looking sickle mower. And i love the town
Thank You
I'm glad that you like yours, our Frontier SB3106 turned out to be a lemon. Wasn't put together properly at the manufacturer. And of course Deere won't fix it cause they didn't build it. As of todate, it doesn't match up to our old JD #8 mower. JD will be used later this year. If you get a chance, perhaps make a video changing out the sickle.
I'm sorry you got a lemon. I'm surprised JD won't fix it, I thought they repaired frontier implements? I'm going into my third season with it now
I adjusted the pitch of the bar, upwards, level, and downwards. It flat out would not cut our oats. Alfalfa, no problem. Grass hay, forget it. On the back of the Frontier mower, at the bottom where the pulley is, that thing has almost eaten through the shield cover. Deere's fix was adding 2 washers on each side of those bolt tube to try and push the cover away. It worked for about 15 mins and then it failed. So this morning I've got the JD #8 hooked up, prepping to grease and apparently I'm looking at rain clouds now here in northern Idaho. 🙃 By the way, I did post 2 videos of us using the Frontier model along with our Ibex baler.
@@stewartfamilyfarms1835m the belt does bind on the PTO shield now that you mention it. I have to run right at 540 or it just knocks it down. I have 7 IH mowers and every one of them cuts fine at just above idle. Very strange
I can tell you what I'm doing this morning. Was using the #8 last night, was mowing perfectly, and then the pitman arm snapped. So, I'm replacing it today if any of the Deere dealers have them stocked.
@@stewartfamilyfarms1835m buy a couple if they do. Sometimes, tractor supply has them, but I wouldn’t count on it. They never have “tractor supplies.”
Frontier...I was looking for a brush hog a few years back in Kentucky. Frontier brush hogs are made by Tarter here in the state. The frontier 2072 6ft cutter is $2400 or something crazy like that. I bought the same thing as an unbranded factory 2nd brand new for $950. It has proven to be a pretty tough machine...not a heavy Bushhog brand tree whacker, but it will hold its own for what it is. High lift blades pull a little hard to run it with the 230 farmall, but perfect behind the B414 diesel.
I read somewhere that frontier farms all it’s implements from a host of other manufacturers. Now that I’ve reclaimed all of my fields, it’s just a matter of occasional trimming and this cutter works very well. I demolished a Land Pride cutter getting those fields back. That b414 is better suited for that type of work than the 230 I think? Thank You for watching
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm I'm surprised you dont use a farmall sickle mower. When those old mowers are in good order, ain't nuthin' cuts better! We have one for the 230 that I want to start using here...MAYBE to cut hay eventually, but at least right now just to mow and lay down grass to build soil. You can really only do that once in a season since the sickle mower will choke up on the last clipping, but the brunch hog chews everything up so much more. I also have a 4ft sickle mower for the cub, but it doesn't run right now. You're awfully rocky up there, but do you ever have moles? We have so many dirt mounds here in this pembroke soil, I wonder if it will ruin a sickle mower. It is nothing to shear a shearpin on the brushhog unless you keep it 5" or 6" cut height.
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm yes, the 414 is more of a bulldog, stout and safer on hills, but if that little farmall had live PTO, well, you are familiar with how sweet they handle! The 230 turns on a dime.
@@matthewtaylor2185 they are a nice tractor indeed.
'm considering an Enorossi to clip pasture fields. The online manual gives a 1-3/16" (3cm) minimum cutting height, and I assume that's using the lowest settings. I was wondering what the cutting height would be if you select the highest skid plate setting in under the bearings and highest sled setting out at the bar end.
I think around 4”
Hello Tom, I bought the same mower, but it does not have a hydraulic lifting cylinder. I want to install such a hydraulic cylinder myself, could you tell me the dimensions of the hydraulic cylinder?
I keep meaning to measure it for you-even walked down there with a tape measure-cows were out, I got distracted and he went are…I’m bringing it up soon to service it and I’ll put the specs in the new video-stay tuned and I apologize
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm Ok Tom, if you would show the whole hydraulic lifting system in more detail in the video, I would be very grateful to you. I'll be waiting for the video. Thanks a lot
i’m editing it now. sorry for the wait
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm ok, thank you
Thank you for sharing, I am looking to get same model. Can you please let me know what is the HP on your tractor? Have a Bobcat CT2025 25HP and would like to get the 7ft version of the sickler but literature is confusing as it says will work with 20-35HP on one article and then it averages to 28HP... Thank you
36 Gross HP, 28PTO. Thank You for watching
What did you end up mounting the piston lock release handle/cord to? And also what is the white tube on the driver side? Mine doesn't have that!
I tied it to the roll bar. I don’t use it much and the tube is for the owners manual. Thank You for watching.
Hi where are you getting parts for your mower? I got a quote for guards from John Deere and they wanted $90 each. I'm up in Canada.
I get them from my Mahindra dealer. Every dealership (regardless of what tractors they sell)here in Maine gets all their allied equipment parts from JS Woodhouse the wholesaler. I have gotten a couple things off eBay, I’ve also just put the part number in Google . If you can find out who your regional allied equipment supplier is up there, you can email them and they’ll tell you where your closest dealer is.
Thanks I am making some headway I found some for $38.88. much better than those crooks at JD
@@dalekaye6291 John Deere takes other people’s attachments, paints them
Green and puts a Frontier sticker on them. In the process, they add their own part numbers. If you can figure out which companies built them originally, you can cut out the middle man and save a lot of money
What pto speed 540? Nice mower
Yes, but I run the tractor at about 1800, so less than 540 pto. Might run it up a bit in heavier hay, but this was thin. Thank You for stopping by. 😊
No problem I enjoy your channel, I had one for an H but when we had kids it got sold out of fear. They loved tractor rides and didn't understand what a sickle mower could do. I wouldn't mind getting another but haven't seen any local worth rebuilding
