It's so good to see the small to average size farms surviving along with the hugh factory farms in the US I watch Nate the hoof guy too and he's alwys doing work on small dairy farms too lovely video and such a cool accent SEAMUS Ireland
Thank you for explaining the correct way to mow I have seen videos of people doing it backwards but the way that you are doing it is the correct way that is the way I learned
Nice video! I have an HM234. You're not kidding about those prices for the right hardware! Other than some issues of lodged hay wrapping around the outside "drum" on the outside disc, I've had good luck with it. Good price on that thing, nice job!
I was wanting to know if you could a video on how to hook up and unhook the disc mower, hay Tedder, hay rake, round baler and round baler monitor and square baler and how they work and how to operate them and how to get them ready for hay season and a walk around and an overview of the tractors and hay equipment this summer?
When do you think you guys are going to start cutting, tedding, raking, round baling and square baling hay? and what kind of tractors and hay equipment do you guys have and use to make hay?
You didn't mention why it pays to leave the outside round until the very end. It's because if you're going to hit something that could damage your mower, it's most likely going to be on that outside round, so you want to leave until you've got everything else cut incase you lose time fixing the mower.
I do towards the end of the video. That’s a good reason as well. But what I explain is that the outside run will be the only grass you pack down with the tractor if you do it that way and when you switch directions with the mower to go back around the edges of the field you’re going against the grass that’s laying down from the tractor so it’ll actually cut everything that’s been laid down if that makes sense. Kinda hard to explain typing it. But yes your reason is well worth mentioning as well, thanks
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 I know exactly what you mean as I've mown hundreds of acres. Going against the way you first drove helps to get the mower under the grass you've pressed down....but it's the only common sense way to mow as you need to work from the outside in, and the only way to cut the outer round is by going back the opposite direction, however this can be done at any time after you've done the first round and I pointed out a good reason not to do it till the very end.
G'day and thanks for the vid. Couple of quick questions if you have a moment. What's the purpose of the tall turtles either side of the cutting area? And, what is the purpose of the fabric cover over the unit? Cheers.
The tall turtles I think help direct the grass to lay towards the center of the swath if that makes sense and then the curtain pretty much is like a safety thing. Without it debris would be flying everywhere.
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 Ahh ok of course that makes sense with the cover. Can I clarify, the outer turtles, are they counter-rotating? or do they all spin the same way? Appreciate the info, thanks.

Thanks!

Ronnie Jenkins first off thanks for watching.. and yes I see so many folks do it wrong so I wanted to be sure to explain the correct way! Thanks again
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 thanks for your reply back if it's not too much to ask where are you located
Ronnie Jenkins the foothills of North Carolina
Nice buy man & great video!
DTB Farms thanks! Hard to find even junk hay equipment for $1500

Thanks! And thanks for watching! So far I’ve had good luck with mine too it’s been a really good mower
I found out how expensive the bolts on my 463 was. The skids are also expensive
Good find and price on the disc mower. The weather has been tough here in South Carolina for making hay. Have a good weekend
Gerrald Farms thank you sir.. yes the weather has been terrible for making hay. We’ve had a week straight of rain now
I just replaced a couple of the drive shafts between the disk on one of these yesterday !
Homesteading the Hard Way we had to do that on my daddy’s last year.

I can do that. Once we get into hay season I want to do a whole series start to finish.
When do you think you guys are going to start cutting, tedding, raking, round baling and square baling hay? and what kind of tractors and hay equipment do you guys have and use to make hay?
It's a new Holland,,,,,what's to be expected
Hey there cousin.
With that heavy chain ⛓ mounted there 😮 if hits a cutted wood will broke in half

@@M3rVsT4H yes they are counter rotating.. no problem at all here to help
U need a hay tedder! Cuts a day off dry time!
Oh yes I have one I couldn’t imagine doing hay without it
Thats the way i cut put tractor next to the woods first pass all ways something there you dont want the mower to hit.
Exactly right!
Your not mowing hay...it's just grass!
