Mowing 2nd Cut Hay With The M4-071 & Kubota Discbine! 

Always nice to watch your video's, no shortache of action, thanks very much

I will not be buying another M4-071. The first week the gear shift broke. I have also had the lift arms bend when running a disc cutter. It really lags when running the cutter on slight inclines. I figure next time, I will buy green paint. Great video though. I did get to speak to a Kubota corporate guy, and they were like yep we know the M4 isn't tall enough to run our disc cutter

And yes, way better vid than that night time one! Great stuff man! Good luck with the fresh start on the hay field!

You guys have such a beautiful farm! I like that swivel on your disc bine mower!! Good stuff man! Take care.

kubota m4 and kubota hay mower perfected match plus made from same factory

That Kubota is a sweet ride for sure;;;;;;;

I have lost most of my second cutting to the dry weather. My 1086 is about 140hp and my dicsbine pulls it down by 2 to 300 rpms in good first cutting when putting up hills. Nice looking field there.

Mr. D the Kubota Discbine does a beautiful job cutting. Its been kinda wet here in the northern panhandle of W.V. as well. Hope the re fertilizating helps for new growth. I'm sure it will especially with the wet weather. Enjoyed your video.

Nice looking hay field

It sure was a beautiful day there. I’m in the same boat with most of our second cutting. We win some we loose some. Have a good one buddy

Love the M4

Well, it got the job done... Our first JD discbine, we ended up having to run it on a smaller tractor (115 horse) I had to cut with the mower up.. then recut with it down. Was a long day.... Thanks for the DAYLIGHT video Chris 👍😎

That 70 horse did alright! Moght be a little slower, but you now know you can use it in a pinch!

For several years, my 70 hp MF 275 did everything! 🙂👍🏻

Looks good. I ran my 50 PTO hp JD 5055d on my Krone 9ft Disc mower conditioner w/impellers in 2nd cutting a few years ago. Ran about 4-5 mph, not heavy grass and while the tractor didn’t bog down, it ran a tick hotter than normal, certainly any oil residue and lent on the engine evaporated quickly - LOL! The biggest thing is the Krone is very heavy at the tractor, I think somewhere between 1,200 and 1,400 lbs. Like you, I want to have the option in a pinch to use the JD, but the vertical static drawbar load max is listed at 500 lbs and on a similar model JD, maybe 1,000ish lbs. So when I bought a moco, I needed a lower lift arm mount vs drawbar mount. Don’t know if your moco is drawbar mounted, but if it is, you might check the maximum vertical static load for the drawbar. Nice looking hay!

i use a john deere 3020 (70 pto hp) on our 1525 swinger mower it doesn't have a crimper tho , however the 3pnt on the 3020 quit last cutting and havent got it figured out yet , guess just cant pick the round bales up with it

Do discbines run harder than a haybine? I used to mow hundreds of acres of hay all summer long for a large dairy farm back in 70's with a 10' haybine. The fields were extremely hilly if not mountainous and I used either an Allischalmers 180 (70hp) or an Allis 200 (100hp) at about 9 or 10 mph with no lack of power.

Why is it that kubota seems to need more H P than other tractors to pull their hay equipment.....ct

Ya know, your front end of that kobota would last a bunch longer if you would take that loader off. It takes like 5 minutes to take it off.

A Kioti 73 hp, like I have, is really equivalent to about an 80 HP! Should have got a Kioti!!! LOL (You know you had this coming!!! :)

I wanna get an M6 Due to me 3.0 diesel being able to tow that and a trailer. This is a good point of reference thanks

Are you still liking the m4? I was going to get one but my drum mower requires 65 hp at the pto, where the tractor makes like 60 at the pto. So I started looking at the M5, but it looks like, if you have the DMC8536R, it requires 70 at the PTO, not the motor. So this makes me think I might be able to run it

PTO Hp is 60 which is lite on hp

My push mower will mow that pasture

Hey, I always like watching your videos. Have you ever tried your rpm maintainer button? Still may be too much mower for it but I like using it when I mow hay and seems to help. Anyways take care and good luck.

It is nice to just leave the baler hooked up all summer.

Why dont you use the rpm management...its a button on the dash....it will keep pto rpm set at 540...

What are all the trees??????

Can you tell me what size kubota discbine that is?

Maybe Kap can prove his tractor is better and run the hills faster LOL. Yours is still a sexier tractor lol. Did you get hydraulic self leveling loader?

Never know unless you try
