Chopping 1st Cutting Alfalfa 

Thank you Walt. I appreciate you subscribing to the channel

Thank you Gene

That's cool, right over the hill!

Thank you Tony. I agree, silage videos are great

Thanks Paul. We love our old sound guard John Deeres

Its a good idea to keep the hours off the more expensive tractor but the 4555 handles the chopper much better

Thank you Mark. They are great old tractors

Thanks Glen. It sure is

Thanks Scott. I guess how exciting would the day be if everything went to plan! LOL

Yeah it was a busy day for sure

Thanks Kevin. Glad you love our operation

That 4040 has worked a lot of hours on 2 different RU-vidr's farms!

We chop our alfalfa but the rest of first cutting we are going to round bale

Thanks Rick. Yeah it sucks but you just gotta make it work

Thanks Morgan. I've always thought having a tractor with a 4 post would be great on the blower. Now after using one on the blower I'd love to have one for the blower and some other small jobs

@@mikep7810 We ran a Ford 9600 to the blower with a Hinson "cab", but rarely had the doors on it. Had the RH steps so you could easily reach PTO and throttle without going around, or through a little window. JD didn't have RH door available until the original 6000/7000 series in the 90's. Something that always bugged me about the SoundGard's.

Thank you John

Thank you. Those 6030s are good old tractors!

@@mikep7810 yes mike this is a very good model from john deere and i love this sound from 6030 engine

Thank you. It was good to have a back up

Yeah things break, especially the older stuff. Still great equipment though

They are great tractors

Yeah we talked about that when we got the FP240 and ultimately decided to go with another tractor

Thanks Matt. Good to get your first crop hay done

Always.... Every time.

Absolutely. Luckily it didn't set us back too much. Just some scrambling around to get the other tractors to finish the job

Not really. Just to move some small equipment and wagons around

And here it is. Enjoy the entertainment!

Yeah, all the people that owned it before us left it stock

That's for sure. Luckily it didn't set us back too much

Things break down! a 7810 would be nice.

A 7810 would be great. The 4555 isn't causing us all sorts of problems. An oil line got a pin hole in it and we got it fixed and back up and running

@@mikep7810 I was being sarcastic

@@gamefarmer188 Ah, gotcha. 👍👍

Haha that is true, I'll have to make round bales in a sleeveless shirt

@@mikep7810 Yes keep us guessing what kind of work you will be doing. From experience though the cut off shirts really make a difference in hot humid weather.

Its leaning up against my tool box

@@mikep7810 why don’t you have it on it

@@kcbennett5691 Just decided to go back to the natural look. I always have it if I want to put it on the 4555, 4055, or 4250

Thank you Carlos

Yeah it was really nice looking stuff

The power is nice but the main reason I run the 4555 on the mower is for the weight. We have some good hills and I was getting pushed when I was mowing with the 4250. Not to mention the 4555 is already a 1000 pto and with the other tractors I would have to switch back and forth. What we need and have talked about is another tractor to put on the mower so we can leave the 4555 on the chopper. The pin hole that was in the line didn't come from running the tractor on the mower. If we kept it on the chopper then it would have went when we were chopping

Agree. We just always learned. Don't always run your big horse when not needed. Have a good one mike

@bryankeator8396 I agree with you the 4555 is a bit overkill for it. I'd love to get a 7810 for it

@@mikep7810I’ll tell you one thing is you don’t need anymore tractors just switch ptos take 2 minutes

Thanks for checking it out

@@mikep7810 no problem Mike
