Second cut - John Deere Triple Mowers at work. Two, on a hill.

[seenfromsweden]

When mowing with triples och dubbles, is there anything remaning in the inner corner between the front and the sidemower? Or is this adjustable? Or do you fix this on the second lap?

[balmesh]

To seenfromsweden

Good question, but I have never used one, myself. Judging by the field, when cleared, the triples make a clean job on corners.

Oh thats interesting seeing a CLASS mower heads on a JD.... May I make a recommend to you to cut two passes off each end of the field then go from end to end... not sqaures. Your causing improper product drying times, too much product displacement and fuel/time waste by stopping and shifting from forward to reverce then forward again.. Plus the stress on the operator increased. But all that proper machine operation come with experince. But all that comes from experience..

Thanks for the comment. However the rationale of cutting is nothing to do with me - I only film it.

[tino7530]

this is a JD and CLAAS mower

[balmesh]

Thank you, Sir! It was for me, too.

[johnfranq]

thats a rare site. Brilliant

[hamilton2929]

its well saying he,s not working with the groupers on the back mighten go as fast then harder to keep the rows tidy when grouping . going at that speed possible to cut 20 acres to the hour if nothing smashed .

My understanding is that if anything breaks it's the contractor's responsibility. Even if it's a rock he wasn't told about. But I think he does this work every year . . . . Alan

[bricky99]

quote me if i am wrong alan but i think they have three sets of them or at least they used to

[balmesh]

To bricky99

You could be right. I have a dim memory of seeing a third set, looking a bit out-of-use in the long grass at Danyrheol. Probably comes out when it gets really busy!

[togreektown]

Alan such a good video,

I have seen a mower something like this befor.

But wow can they cut some hay real fast compared to the

good old days and such a great swath at one pass.

they sure know how to make money fast.

To togreektown

Like the old saying "You have to speculate to accumulate" - cos these machines cost a fortune. Even the rowers are £30,000 or so. GBP.

Thanks Steve. 

[endamc79]

un-real, how many acres an hour would they cut? Sure thats second cut?

[balmesh]

To endamc79

No idea how many acres per hour, I'll have to enquire. Re. second cut - that's what I was told by one who should know - he did the first cut! And it's not the first second cut, either, there was another guy in Carmarthenshire who got in first earlier this week.

[sduffy8050]

this fella os some operator!

[balmesh]

To sduffy8050

Sure is!

[hamilton2929]

@sduffy8050 that fella as u say isnt going to pay to fix any thing that he,d break going that rate plus he,s not grouping the rows so he ,s not worried abt the mess of the field saying it was for balin hows the baler going to follow all the trails i no our guys wudnt bale it unless it was raked up into 30,s

[balmesh]

To hamilton2929

There was a rake in the next field ready for the job of sorting it out.

[farmerwelsh]

To rakerman

Glad to have you back, Sir, we (Stan and I) have missed your comments and uploads. King is your title, but modesty becomes you! I appreciate your kind comments. And your example of excellent work has been good to follow.

[dairyfarmer83]

Great video alan. A rare find to see two sets of triple mowers in the same field i'm sure!

[balmesh]

To dairyfarmer83

One triple isn't all that common round here, two is something I have never seen before.

[AlzPembz]

Awesome 5*, Wont take long to mow that field with 6 mowers that 7530 sounds awesome coming up the hill, thats quite a good crop for second cut..

Aled..

To AlzPembz

Thanks Aled. I thought I'd get a bit of audio growl as it adds some atmosphere and gets your adrenelin going!
