That was fun to watch how the property evolved. I know what you mean by “bittersweet” as I had 69 acres I used to mow for a neighbor. When I started, it had cedar and locust saplings (along with shoemake) that had really taken hold. After 2 or 3 years of bushhogging, the saplings were dead & gone - even the regular weeds were few and far between. That neighbor died and his widow has no interest in my maintaining it. I hate to think of the shape it is in now. It almost gets to where it’s like it’s your land as you get protective over it (because I put a lot of sweat and hours in it).
Good ending to the story. Would love a video on the fundamentals of cutting hay. I have never done it before, but I operated a 5075E tractor on a horse farm in Franklin, TN and have been missing it.
Great video. How are you liking the 5075E? I'm in the market for a tractor and I'm looking at a 5075E and Kubota M7060. The new 5075E's apparently don't have regen so that is a plus for me, any info is appreciated!
I’m my opinion the 5075e is a much better tractor than the M7060. If your going to finance it, I think you’ll like John Deere insurance better than kubota’s. Even if your paying cash I think you’ll like JD’s insurance better. That being said, I really like the tractor still. I am in the need for something bigger for a hay tractor. So unfortunately the 5075e may be leaving the farm. To answer your question, the M7060 is underpowered compared to the 5075e. Hope this helps.
@@theweekendfarmer7513 thanks for the feedback! I’m in the process of negotiating with each dealer at the moment. I’m still torn between the two but I’m going to think on it for some time
I have probably a dumb question but i upgraded my hydrostatic to a power reverser deere and i set my pto speed at 540 and start mowing but i notice it fluctuates as im mowing. Is that normal? My hydrostatic stayed at 540
It’s normal for it to fluctuate a little down to 530-520 as thicker grass is pulling the engine down. If it’s fluctuating more than that you may have a problem. Also with the hydrostatic you were probably more likely to slow down in thicker grass.
Nice Field. Looks Great. 😎

I enjoy your videos. Sunday music was on the last one I saw

Hit the jackpot on this one

@@theweekendfarmer7513 thank you for the help. Yeah it only goes down to 535 ish and around there.
@@dirtpicasso we’re the tractors close to the same HP?
Or did you get a bigger mower?
