    That was a fair days work Andy 👍🏻.
    I was also mowing today. I used a Bosch34r rotak. Didn’t bother with headlands as this baby can turn on a sixpence. I did 28.75 m2, I used about 5.5p of electric and it took me 15 minutes. I’m happy to lend it to you if yours starts playing up 👍🏻😁

    I usually drive a John Deere 9520rx to do chisel ploughing in rice fields here in Northern California.
    Tractor usually burns 700 plus litres in a 12 hour shift. It is the best tractor I’ve ever driven power, comfort ease of use. It’s a fair big change from the aul Massey Ferguson 185 I use to drive on my dads farm in Ireland. Have a safe and productive season!

    Farming is hard work. I did it for years when I was a young fella but decided to drive a truck instead of staying in the farming business. And now that I'm an old fart, I drive a truck part time and work on a farm part time. Now a days I enjoy the farming a lot more than driving a truck.

The amount of trees at the opposite end of the field I picked out when stripping..... omg they always seemed to move ffs!!! Anyhoo the set up you have and at a rate of 2.5 or so ltrs per acre is fantastic.....!!! Stay safe and give Eric a good rub on the noggin for me!! Cracking vid lad!!

    Great Vid. one thing i will say for the new autopowr gearbox in the johndeere tractors there is a massive torque increase as when we got the a new tractor we got the same horespower just the new autopowr gearbox and its so much better, really noticable on the drill as the old tractor with the old direct gearbox was constantly on its knees. can't wait to try it out on the baler. would love to someday get one with a joystick.

    I mow with a remapped New Holland t7 210 and triples. Round here in South Wales nearly every field is a slope so mowing obviously uses more diesel. I was mowing a 150 acre farm the other day. Mowed about 100 acres and had to go and fill up, it took 300l. Then mowed the rest and used another 100l. that's 400l and was only about a 12 hour day. The type of grass we have around here is usually quite dense and the conditioners really have their work cut out. On a typical day mowing I will normally catch a few stones and have to replace some blades. Farmers don't know their fields like they used to nor do they bother to roll them.

    Great video Andy, looks a fair size crop, could of done a crop of grass seed and baled it for hay two years running, you won't be getting a new Holland then, mowers doing a good job, hope round up still about in two years to spray it off before you plough it.

  • @nigelclats6970
    @nigelclats6970 Před 4 lety +6

    I run Kuhn 9.5m non conditioning triples on a Fastrac 4220 in S.Island NZ.
    I cut up to 120ha per day and average 3 l/ha when mowing,I generally chop through a full tank on the Fastrac in a 12 hour day.
    That's very good fuel economy from the Sisu/agco motor.

    • @gaslight5
      @gaslight5 Před 4 lety +1

      So 296 acres on 360l of diesel, is 1.2l an acre, that's 1.1 litre less than Andy's doing here. So about half the fuel used?

    • @nigelclats6970
      @nigelclats6970 Před 4 lety +3

      I'm using non-conditioning mowers,plus one more 3M mower, 1/3 less trips around the paddock and less effort to run,so your figures are spot on you maths wizard.

    We just mowed first cut here in the Netherlands. We use a massey Ferguson 6270. With a krone 320 mower without conditioner and a krone 283 mower with conditioner. For a total of nearly 6 meter working with. We were doing about 30 hectares that day. We finished in 10 hours and used about 160 liters of diesel. However I might add it was really heavy cut. Grass was toler than the front mower
