Love the channel! I'm fixing to get myself a 5075e here in the spring identical to yours. Looking forward to more videos featuring the e12 and the 5075e in the future. Thanks!
I am John Deere through and through even though John Deere is ridiculous on price but you know what? Their all are expensive as hell. I just like me some John Deere. You put that 5075E in some tall grass and labor the engine a bit on those cold days because I will be watching. You got it looking good behind you. Liked Subscribed & Shared
Bought an E12 been happy with it. Except, get a good wide zip strip. Wire up the hydraulic hoses by the bat wing lift cylinders. Mine got pinched in the lock pin assembly...
I love your videos and I was wanting to know if you could do a video on how to hook up and unhook the disc mower, hay rake, round baler, and batwing bush hog to and from the 5075E, and how they work, and how to operate them, and how to maintain them, and a walk around and an overview of the 5075E, disc mower, hay rake, round baler, and batwing bush hog?
How fast can you cut thick grass I have the same tractor I used the m15 today and could only go in A 4 without bogging down what’s your gear and speed?
Just a thought if your hoses will reach try laying them over your top link bar so they arent catching everything. If it doesnt reach the top link maybe a bungie cord wrapped around the hoses and bungie attached to the top link just to get them up higher.
I looked at, Bush Hog, Landpride, Rhino, Woods, Titan, and Bush Wacker. They were all with in $600 of one another. except for Titan...Titan is a local built batwing in Tennessee that's about $2000 cheaper than everybody else...but its a lightweight cutter, comparable to the Landpride...John Deere and Bush Wacker appear to be the better built. almost identical... Kapper Outdoors has some good videos on the Bush Wacker...If you've never watched his channel you need to check him out. He has a video where he looks at all the spec sheets of all the 12' batwings on the market...However, he made that video before the John Deere came out on the market.
@@theweekendfarmer7513 Thanks for the reply, I do watch Kapper. I'm really glad you showed the bottom of this mower, I have a lot of rocks and want to protect the decks as much as possible. I pick up rocks constantly but there will always be some. Still owe a little on my tractor but when she's paid off I think one of these E12's is on my list.
How does that tractor and cutter do when you are in real thick green grass? I use a 5320, 5075E and. 5085E on a HX10 and if the grass is tall and thick enough they are loaded pretty heavily
Barry Strother.This trailer is 30ft. Yes I would recommend at least 30ft. This length is plenty for this tractor, but I do have to set the loader on the neck of the trailer.
Hey we have the exact same set up, I was hoping you could answer me a question whenever i mow the left and right deck always seem to cut un evenly close to the hinges of the middle deck , I’ve tried plenty of times to level , but it always seems to do the same . Thanks in advance
Sounds like your wings are letting down too far. There are adjustments on the outer wheels. Or, maybe the middle section needs to be lower. There is an adjustment for that as well.
Bought exact machine today, I will be using it on one scv, manual talks about control valve available, what’s best way to run this thing off one lever, any input appreciated
You need to make sure your dealer plumbs the hydraulics where you can do that… everything is hydraulic up and gravity down. So even if both your hoses are pressure hoses, you just pull your lever slightly backwards or forwards, to where the hydraulics can free flow, and gravity will push the unit down.
How did you plumb your Cutter ? Mine came w 1 hose to the tractor. Looks like you have 2 hoses. I cannot lift the belly of the mower without the sides coming up first. Makes it hard when cutting and need to lift cutter. I have to disengage to raise it. It also makes it difficult to engage in y’all grass bc the mower is all the way down to the height I have it set. At the 5 min mark of your video you show yours will lift the belly first then the wings. Please provide me with some guidance.
@Nathan Justice I am not sure. I only have 2 hydraulic connections on the rear of my tractor. Is that the same for you ? Could you provide me with the dealer location you purchased yours from ?
@Nathan Justice thank you for your help. I only have 1 SCV. The original video that I watched on here from the Weekend Farmer only has 1 SCV as well. However he has 2 hoses on the cutter. I only have 1. Not sure what he did to make that work but if you watch his video at the 5 min mark you will see what I’m referencing. Not sure how to make it work like that.
Went to buy one of these E-12 cutters today and during conversation he told me the Gear Boxes was made in CHINA.....That ruined his sale. I bought another brand $1500.00 cheaper.....
@@theweekendfarmer7513 Actually didn't buy yet but probably a Bush-Whacker. Weighs about the same as the Deere but it may have China Gear boxes. In fact they may all have China Gear Boxes. The salesman said it couldn't be made to lift wings separately and if it could that would be a sizeable charge. But did give me a good price. $11,800....I bought a 5100M tractor from him a year or so ago.....Bush Whacker about $10,500
@@jackfreeman4121 They probably are all made in china... I can tell you that is one tough gear box. Even my little 6' co-op bush hog has been to hell and back. If you have one go pre maturely, Im sure they will all honor their 5 year warranty. Make sure bush whacker has the same warranty. The told me the same thing about the hydraulics. They just dont want to do it...you have to have two SCV's, and you do on a 5100. Kapper Outdoors has his on 3 SCV's, He can move left or right or up and down. It would be handy in steep ditches, but yes!!! Very Expensive!!
Well I went back this morning and bought the Deere. Called three places that said they sold Bush Whacker but no one had one, so I bit the bullet and got the Deere. Salesman told me it would cost $1200.00 to convert the Hydraulics to raise both wings. I told him that would be good just like it was. Have you investigated that any? Have you had any problems with yours?.....I'm sure I will like mine. Deere makes good stuff but not sure they make this 12 foot......
@@jackfreeman4121 You will love it!!!! Is this your first batwing??? Everything Deere sales is good, even still!! or they wouldn't paint it green!!Haha!!! If its not they'll make it right...No problems with mine...I have not investigated that...You can do it yourself, its just plumbing. you may have to have some hoses made, but if you have two valves on your tractor you can do it. The cylinders are hydraulic up and gravity down. So you need fluid to push it up, and then you need a return. I only have one valve. so I can't do it.

yeah thats all i hear them
say
"theyre so high "
no shit every brand is high i get so tired of hearin that shit
I also own a 5075E and have been thinking about an E12. Looks like a good setup. I'll be watching for more videos to see how you like it.
I enjoyed this demo of your E12 flex wing mower! Your preparation and approach were excellent and very instructional! Thank you
New follower here. Great shredder and tractor.
Great video, thanks for sharing.

thats a good lookin mower and tractor hang on to that green n yellow thats all I buy nothin else
Watch were you run your lift arms on the tractor or they may hit your PTO shaft in tight turns. Check out my Rhino TS12 review to see what I mean.
You need two hydralic valves. One for the up down, one for the wing up-down-float.
I put the cylinder lift in the back were it’s supposed to go and run the wing lift hose to the block operated by the joy stick.
Nice!!!!!
I still use my farmal 450 and lilliston roto speed
Can u do a video on how to level the e12 because mines been wrong since factory ans leaves strips all over the pasture
How fast can you cut thick grass I have the same tractor I used the m15 today and could only go in A 4 without bogging down what’s your gear and speed?
I'm new in this channel, I would like to know more about the dimensions of this amazing attachment (width, length also the size). Thanks
Hello please how much did you bought it dear 💖 love it
Dam thats a nice bush hog wats the goin rate on 1
Which transmission best power reversar or gear pro
Just a thought if your hoses will reach try laying them over your top link bar so they arent catching everything. If it doesnt reach the top link maybe a bungie cord wrapped around the hoses and bungie attached to the top link just to get them up higher.
Yes it is gear oil. Some of it looks milky. That needs to be changed.
Been looking at batwings also, what brands did you compare? Like the videos !!

Bumping this question as I’m interested in the same
Do you have verry steep ground. ? Wat area you from
How long is the trailer you are using with this set up? Would you recommend this length or something longer? Thanks
Barry Strother.This trailer is 30ft. Yes I would recommend at least 30ft. This length is plenty for this tractor, but I do have to set the loader on the neck of the trailer.

curious how long your trailer is. Got a 5075 with the same batwing on the way. Hoping it will fit on my flat deck lol
30’
How does the rigid hitch handle a ditch? I’m looking at an E15. My Rhino has a swivel hitch
I guess I haven't had it on a ditch that was steep enough to have a problem.

@@theweekendfarmer7513 found a manual valve 120 bucks for what I’m doing I think I’ll try that , I understand what your saying thanks
New sub 2 UR channel. Enjoy videos, work smarter, not harder. R U located in TN?...
Yes I'm in Tennessee.
@@theweekendfarmer7513
what part of Tennessee?....I'm in Cookeville...
What is your overall review on the cutter? How would you rate it? Any problems ?
A++. No Problems. I would say its the best 12' cutter on the market, next to the bush wacker.
I do this on the interstate for the DOT and your hydraulic hose is dragging you would have been fired 😂
Nice mower. Price in the 12k range?
David Caldwell They were last year... about $12500
