Hello Dennis fun watching, funny when your son tooted the horn when you were in front of your tractor. These are priceless memories with your children. Have a great day.
Looking good bud. Wagons are saweeet 😎when you jumped when Dawson hit the horn, I just about died cause it brought back so many memories when my kids were young. Now I have the grand babies to scare me😂keep em coming🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really impressed with our New 5711 Dennis, and your other Equipment. Before you know it your young boys will be men showing you how its done. Looking at mid week coming up to start cutting hay here , been getting alot of rain Take Care Bud👍🏻
Hi Dennis I’ve been watching your Channel for years I enjoy the mix of things you do and i pretty much do the same stuff on my channel as well take care my friend
D, Massey’s making some great tractors and pushing to sell in the US. I took your insight and got rid of my wheel rake for a Kubota single wheel rotary rake. This makes some great windrows that the small square baler really like. Thanks you for the posting.
The way we were taught in the late 60 early 70 . Was when we started the year with a baler that is empty and a little bit rusty, we would check number 5 and 11 bales for the lengths , tensions , weights . Than every 40 are 50 bales , for first couple 100 bales .
Always love the hay videos Dennis. Be getting the 269 New Holland out here soon. Dang thing gives me fits from time to time but i do it all myself, mow, rake, bale and pick them up and put them on 16 foot trailer and then stack them in the barn. Getting to old for this I think lol.
I’m looking at the forecast at the minute but looks like we’ve only 5days of good and it takes some drying over here! You made me jump when you jumped at Dawson hit the horn 🤣🤦♂nice to see you all out though
Like your system. The pallets on the wagons is a very good idea. I have a question about your hay being stacked on the flat side instead of the edge do they mold? I been wanting to put my hay on the flat side just not set up too. It got to be easier to transport on the flat. Your videos are very informative and well done. Thank you
Massey 5711 looks great on the baler Dennis .Hope your wife enjoyed baling with it ? I do think the 5711 will make a good loader tractor for you also, lts great for you Dennis , it's like a family day out all making hay. Are you full on with hay time now Dennis ? Keep the videos coming Mike
I agree. Agco is struggling. I'm waiting on oil lol. They sent out a mailer about their new phone number so they must be really changing their security.
You’re sure eating high on the hog now, Ben! Nice camper. That scissor lift is definitely nice to have. I’m still waiting on my measurements for the M7060 lol
The only thing you don’t have on a Dyna4 is enough gear ratios to optimise output at a fixed engine speed, such as baling. I would always choose a Dyna6 if given the choice. I own and run a Dyna4 MF5445 tier3 myself and love it but recognise its limitations for some jobs. 16 ratios was great when tractors were all 18mph 30kph max speed but now all are 25 mph 40kph and the ratios more spread apart. Maybe US spec is still 18mph? Only rear wheel drive tractors would have that top speed in the UK. Many tractors would be fitted with front and cab suspension and optionally 50kph 31mph top speed, but these would mostly be 120hp+ In the UK and Ireland a typical intensive farm's hay crop would be many times heavier than seen in the video and even swaths every 10ft apart would fill the mouth of the baler completely at the forward speed seen above. That’s not a criticism, just a factual observation. MF would be a better loader tractor with the low nose for far better visibility that the Deere.
I don't know if it'll work with your John Deere but on the hydraulic control handle for the bucket and loader try to hold it as close to the bottom of the handle as you can and operate it that way and it makes it so you can I don't know how to say this finesse the bucket I guess and a loner make it makes it harder to push the handle to do what you wanted to do so it kind of lets less fluid through I don't know how to explain it but that's what I did to get over being jerky with the excavator, and then I learned to just turn the idle down from 8 to 6 and it helps LOL
First hay of the year!! I wonder if you could fix up a camera system on the front of the john deere, around the loader Might help with the blind spot. Awesome video👍
@@DLHFarms I seen what appeared to be a camera not long after posting. I'll need one for my grapple. We only do 8 at a time. I made my grapple pivot 90 degrees for this effort.
That massey sure looks a lot nicer in front of that baler than the deere..... but, i'm just not a big John deere fan though, so anything would look better in front of that baler but green.....I am glad you got the Massey set up and ready to bale for first cuttting......be safe put there and the little guy will be running the show before you know it... time passes quickly when you hav'n fun.....and i think i would have sent the deere dealer my fuel bill.. if they hadn't fixed their bill to you...bet it would have changed their minds about billing for no service next time..lol
They're really nice machines. Problem I've run into is parts a bit... seems like if need something it's always on backorder. Deere or New Holland has been a little better pending on dealership.
I could understand 50 or 60 bucks for the dealer to look at it. $100+ is absolutely ridiculous though. Glad they made it right. Just out of curiosity, do you know how much the fuel filters cost for your Massey? I've got a 1740m. Nobody makes aftermarket fuel filters for it. They are $140 a piece.
Could you run hydraulic hoses from a rear remote to the front of the tractor to act as a temporary third function until your kit comes in? Dawson just wants to help 🤣
Did you trade your 4710 when you got 5711. I have talked to you a few times about 4709. So if you did trade it is it still there. I would like to get rid of mine. Nothing but problems must have been built on Friday of holiday weekend
Lmao,omg,he beeped the horn when you were tying the rope off and made you jump,lol,omg,I laughed 😅 so hard,I have tears.Make a short tittled,titled, something funny like,son scares unsuspecting father or idk,be a funny short,this whole 5 minute 😄 segment is making laugh so hard.Love those little ones,man,the say,and do the darndest things that make you laugh
Our hay baler I believe was John Deere yes and it was not a kicker Baler but it was a John Deere and it had this round wheel on the side of it that was extremely heavy it would be the driver side if you were sitting on the hay baler driving it like a tractor, I believe it was a wait but I don't know what it was for
I was about 6 or 7 when I started driving tractors and anything that I could get in to gear and reach the clutches and brakes on. Had to be fast in some cases , all I could see was sky when I had to change gears or hit the brakes ! Didn't have time to be scared or afraid . Didn't want to show it ,nor say anything. Just wanted to have fun driving trucks and tractors.
Didn't we see a video of you taking out that tree by this barn or was that a different tree in the driveway? Yeah maybe it was in the driveway well anyway then fortunately that beautiful tree by the small barn are at 26 minutes and 49 seconds is dying and on its way out you better get it so you can use some of the wood for firewood
I'm a small timer and look for my first 100hp tractor. Gonna do a little haying with it (5×5 bales), feeding, farm chores etc. You have dealt with a few brands, is the 3 cylinders Masseys going to hold up in your opinion? I like most all of the brands but Deere is basically out for me cuz I don't think much of the E series which is in my price range. Would love to chat with you
Man I'm 18, and I'm the same as you, the e series is the only series I can afford with deere for the 100hp I want. So I'm set on this exact massey ferguson as the one shown in the video. From a mechanics standpoint I'm going with the 5700 series rather than the 4700 series bc of the extra cylinder. More cylinders equals more power and torque. I'll never see why a tractor that size doesn't have a 6 cylinder engine. Ig I'm just to used to my old internationals/farmalls that start at a 4 cylinder and go up to a 466 cubic inch 6 cylinder diesel. 🤣🤣
@@DLHFarms yea. I just hate the concept of a 3 cyl diesel engine. I have the same diesel engine in a kubota zero turn as my kubota tractor. That should not be a thing. If I wasn't disabled I'd stay with my international tractors but hand controls on those old girls get tiring quick so I'm looking into a cab tractor with a shuttle shift.
@DLHFarms You're a real farmer, I have 85 acres and run 25 head. I plan on cutting approximately 50 acres of hay and use a 5x5 baler and a simple 10 foot disc mower. In your opinion, is a 100hp tractor overkill for a guy like me?
Absolutely not. 100hp of today is not the same as 100hp 30 years ago. They just don’t have the same grunt they did back then. If I was you I would go 120 but you can get by with 100.
Loved the way you jumped when Dawson hit the horn when you were fixing the tie!! Love to see all your family working with you!! Stay safe!!
That scared me haha
I just about spit my lunch out when he honked that horn. I laughed about that all day. I do that to my wife all the time when she opens gates. Good stuff.

Mike
Yes I’m full on hay now as long as the weather lets me. Shannon really likes baling with it because of the Dyna 4
Pleased Shannon is enjoying driving the 5711. Its a Nice and simple gearbox. You might have it on the baler more than you thought for Shannon

Hello Dennis
Looking good, just wondering what RPM is your baler happiest
We just finished square straw bales, the NH 565 seems to like 470RPM
Thanks
I run mine at 540 especially in heavy hay or straw
dennis will you tell me where you got the hydraulic covers/plugs for your 5711. I am having no luck finding them. thank you
They came from Massey. Look up a video called “pimp my Massey” the part numbers are in the description.
Pretty slick operation beats the hell outta my classic equipment. It's nice looking hay. How heavy do you make your bale's?
