  • Making Hay in the Florida Sunshine
    I recently visited a farm and ranch south of Sebring Florida for some in field tractor training with the Linder Machinery Group who recently took on the Deutz Fahr Tractor Line.
    In this video I have some footage as we were getting the machinery ready and test running it in the field before the training event took place.
    Running in the Field is a
    Deutz Fahr 7250 TTV Tractor with Pottinger Triple Mower Conditioners
    Deutz Fahr 6230 TTV Tractor with a Pottinger Baler Wrapper Combo
    Deutz Fahr 6155 Tractor with a Pottinger Impress 3160 V Round Baler
    We had good weather and got to mow and bale lots of hay in the Florida Sunshine.

      Love how the european implements all talk to the tractor with ISO-bus so you dont need to drag a huge umbilical cord into the cab with a proprietary control system for every single thing.... only europe could develop something so effective, clean, well-designed, standards-compliant (and no, gallons of fuel, pounds of red meat and caliber of ammo are not standards lmao) , and most importantly, consumer-friendly. In MURICA, the tractor and the implements would be so locked down (to ensure maximum profits and wealth-siphoning to the 1% - typical american off-the-rails capitalism 😂) that the only way this would happen is if you bought *everything* from the same manufacturer... and we all know it would be Apple Deere... err I mean, John Deere. lmao.

    Hey, as a German it’s always nice to see german and austrian brands in America. But I have never seen such combination over there. I'm wondering because you Americans always have a different kind of farming machinery. I specifically mean the EU three point system in the rare und the front hydraulics. Very nice!

      Yes steamers are used mostly out west. Don't think they need them in Florida.

    • @hughmarcus1
      @hughmarcus1 17 днів тому

      Isobus is a common language control system. For instance those triple mowers can be setup so that one press of a button can lift & lower them in sequence at the headland. It will also lower the speed of the tractor to allow the turn to be made. 👍

    Did you see any alligators in fields while you were there mike.

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  22 дні тому +1

      The mowers did have conditioning rolls in them. Only saw the gators in the ditches and not in the field. No snakes either. Pottinger is a separate company.

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  22 дні тому +1

      Not sure on the HP needed. These tractors had plenty and we ran all the knives in for a few bales.

    • @lol-vz8kd
      @lol-vz8kd 21 день тому +1

      For Pöttinger, 90hp for a normal baler, and 130hp for a combibaler, according their website. Their balers are heavier than most other brands tho.

    • @SlyFoxl
      @SlyFoxl 20 днів тому +3

      got the vario combi last year, the 3160 vc. its been a great baler. its an heavier baler but its well built and got the impression of her shes built to last. I run her on my swb Case Puma 165 thats rated 210 with boost at the engine. It runs that baler super easily with all the knives (keep em sharp) and even working on the hills and slopes. I dont need or want any more horses but want id like is more weight and grip on the slopes though so might go up a size later on. But regarding the hp requirements id recommend a 6cyl up from 150hp to use it comfortably. smaller hp tractors will pull it but theire also quite lightweight
