This Channel is about the different tasks we do on the farm, and the equipment we use to do them with. I do custom work for the public to help with equipment cost for the farm. Along with, A recent expansion of the farm with an additional land purchase, and the startup of a new Hay Operation.
I’ve been helping my neighbor put hay out for his cows this summer while his John Deere is broke down I have a Kubota L5740 what size Kubota is that unloading the hay in your video
I have a cutter similar to that. I hate it! One time I set it down on two tires and put jack stands under the front. I pulled right off and it was perfect to hook up next time. Wrong!! It still had to beat and pry to hook it up. I’d like to push it off a cliff but it cuts really well.
There is a pin that locks the cutter in position to hook and unhook. you take the pin out when your cutting to allow the cutter to float. Your pin may be missing.
@theweekendfarmer7513 maybe that's what it was, sounded like the motor rpms shot up and the transmission wasn't grabbing. Been there done that, isn't no fun!
Weakest link I have found in some 4wd tractors is the front pinion where the driveshaft coupler is, I’ve had them to strip out and cost big money to repair. The case and new holland has the strongest pinions if you do a lot of loader work. Trust me if had them fail at the worst of times
That is normal!! You have to start that E12 at almost full throttle!! All batwings are that way on most all tractors. I have some friends that run 15ft's on 100hp tractors. They do the same thing.
@@bradgreenwell6097 It takes a lot to start it, but not much to run it when you get it going. Without rambling forever...If you look at the gear reduction you get... It takes about 40HP for a 6FT hog. It takes 70HP for a 7FT, it has a single blade...Only 40HP for an 8FT.- 2 blades...50 HP for a 12FT. -3 blades. They make a 10FT batwing with 3 blades, They say you can run it with 25HP. Getting them started is the hard part. keeping it going depends on what your cutting.
Great video. I'm looking forward to bush hogging with my 5075e, I've been doing a lot of grapple/bucket and disk work so far. Its an absolute workhorse
New subscriber here from west TN. I have a 3046R and that little sucker is a work horse, I use it to mow my yard, rake and ted hay, haul hay. Look forward to future videos, just started my channel this year if you would like to check it out. Have a good one!
It does good. I put up 200 bales a year. It’s fine for that. 4x5 bales. Anything more than that I would say go for more power. I will eventually have a bigger baler tractor.
I’ve had two of them. They are bulletproof for the most part. The dealer added a second SCV to this tractor, it’s had a problem ever since. I’m pretty sure this problem was caused by the dealer. I’m sure we will get it resolved.
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
Probably should charge for the tractor flat rate plus your time. $150 for the drive to and back plus use of tractor, implement and gas. $40-$60 per hour minimum. $75 an hour would be reasonable. In my opinion he got it half price. If you did it twice a year then you could do $200-300. That means you doubled your clientele. Just my $.02. I don’t own a tractor and I live in California where everything is expensive. Making a bit of profit will ensure you can pay for repairs and maintenance.
That sounds about right!! Prices have went way up for everything. This video is over 3 years old. My last bush hogging job about this size I charged $450
Im not sure what a 2 series cost. I think my 3032e is high 20's closer to 30 I think... What I have seen on the 5075e's they are close to $65,000. I think its absolutely ridiculous!!! I was complaining when they got over $40,000!!! Its not a $65000 machine. My next tractor will probably be over 20 years old. Im not paying these prices.
