Finally we have some rain! The crop farmers are probably happy. Hope it helps the hay business!

Thanks for the video Dennis. Always enjoy every one of them.

Great new mower. Love the camera angles. Beautiful countryside.👍🙂

ha it's like you were reading my mind when i was watching this, and you answered all my questions at the end! Good job, great vid as always.

You read my mind. I was wondering about running over the hay. Also, your explanation of the geographic differences in your area that cause different farming techniques was interesting, too. Thx

That's true about the run over hay. The only way it can suck is if you get rain on it when it's down and where it's been run over it always takes lo get to dry down

Great video Dennis. Always love the hay videos. Looks like a nice mower.

Must be different climate conditions. Here if we wheel track hay it stays wetter and gives you slugs when baling, Average dry down 2.5 days in the windrow for 15%. But I can see real dry ground sucking up moisture from a mat. We wheel rake the day of baling 2 to 1 and gain a couple of points. Hay gonna be short here not much early rain. Good show.

Nice mower my friend...crop looks great..just looks really thin coming out the mower...

Man thats a nice mower. Should cut down on the mowing time. I'm over near South Boston and the grass hay here is almost nothing. The weather has been crazy this spring.

Good morning Dennis hope you an your family is all doing well an nice machine it's doing a nice job

That is a nice machine, you will really enjoy the functionality of the center pivot especially getting around obstacles in the field like electric poles & trees. Once you try one its hard to go back to a side pull that's for sure. The only thing I would have done different here is started back & forth on the side of the field instead of in the middle to keep from running over the uncut hay that one pass, but no big deal I guess. Nice rig, you've come a long way with your hay operation Dennis.

That mower is nice. I cut with 3pt mowers, most of my fields have terraces. Being in Georgia, I feel your pain on humidity. You definitely have to dry it as quickly as possible. Great video and good luck with hay season. We are 2 weeks in to ours, and staying after it. See you next time

Congratulations on your new cutter. I know you are happy with a new mower. It was a beautiful day there I see. Thanks for sharing hope the family are doing well. 👍👍

Great awesome video Dennis , great new machine to cut hay , we have one too

I used one of those haybines with a 4440 and it was 14 foot cut I loved to swing it around at the end of the rows it was slick

Thanks Dennis from Georgian Bay.

Good video.The cold and dry weather really put a hurting on the hay crop in South-Central VA.

Seems like it's doing you a good job. It seems like it works the tractor a little harder but the deere can handle it.

That is the business Dennis. How do those swaths work out with your rake? But you use a tedder for hay so I guess it doesn't matter as the grass will be scattered anyways. Not much hay in in Ireland, bad unpredictable weather, so we mow, we row, we silage bale and wrap, or lift and chop it with a self propelled harvester, fill trailers and take it to a clamp for silage.

That looks like a good mowing Peace up equipment I sure would hate to use that on a Open cab tractor That would be loud noise Man I wish you lived Near me I would get hay from you I got horses and I live in Jonesboro Arkansas you ever heard of that town you got that right I am tired of the weather to it is weird this year my friend noticed you sure have to watch that back tire pretty close when turning you would have that back tire in the equipment keep the good videos coming appreciate it man be safe

I got the 312 with the 2 pt swivel hitch last year and love it! Can knock down a lot of hay in a hurry! 👍🏻

Good Day Dennis. Im trying to find out the studies that show the hay that you drive on while cutting increases dry down. All the articles and studies i see online show otherwise. Could you direct me to the studies that show it doesn't effect the dry down. Looking at buying a mower conditioner , and new holland / case have the widest rollers in the industry This is what one study said in their write up "Another drawback occurs when pull-type mower- conditioners are used: wide swaths are often run over by the tractor tires, which research shows to be detrimental to hay drying.14 A compromise is to make the swath width such that only one side of the tractor runs over the swath. This problem can be avoided with mounted or self-propelled mowers"

Mowers looking great 👍

When we cut our 2nd crop (which we dry & large and small square bale), we always lay it down wide and usually ted it the same day. Sometimes we ted it twice if it is thick hay. We then rake it up just in front of the baler.

Thanks man. Have u thought of getting a self propelled hay cutter. Great video. Love how u explain the equipment to us and how to use it. Thanks again Dennis.

We are having the same problem with our Bermuda grass , the temperature's has averaged in high 60's this spring and we have had about 30'' of rain in the last 90 day's . everything is pretty green but not growing .

Hello it is loud that's for sure. You cut on the 20th should be baled by now. Cutting on the right and left that would be different I think it would be hard to get used to that. Thanks your efforts make this video. See you then, have a good day.

We're the opposite here in Southern Oklahoma, Texoma..a lot of rain 🌧. Cutting Oats here.

Saw a vid elsewhere Dennis of 2 NH Discbines in Sudan grass that was mostly as high as the tractor cabs , sounds like a 6cylinder would be good on the slopes !

Thanks Dennis.

Dennis what happened to that nut grass problem in a field you sprayed a couple years ago. Thank you for the vids God bless you and yours

sun does ok, but wind dries hay quicker. that's why tedders fluff up the hay , so wind can get thru more of it nice mower btw!

With our 16' center pivot Mo/Co, we always cut 6 rounds and then went back & forth. It gave us more turn-around room. Also, we'd start on one side and work towards the other side. It reduced the number of "wedges" to just that one side.

ur hay is better then ours.. & we're not getting much rain so im thinking we're going 2 have short hay..

I’m not much of a fan of new holland mowers anymore from personal experience but shew wee that’s a sweet lookin and sounding machine

Hey there, Seems like it is working well so far.

Lower areas colder than high areas. Heat rises and cold settles during the night.

Same thing happened to mine cold weather and no rain 2021 1st cut looks like my fall cut hope 2nd cut comes on or hay will get expensive this year good for your hay business just hope i have enough to push me through winter. That 2020 extra left over is going to come in handy this year. Demo the heck out of that machine thinking about trading mine in on the exact same mower.

You did right...it was done growing...start fresh...itll explode

How does the JD like pulling something not green Dennis 😂😂

She looks like she is doing a good job

Love the sound of a discbine

Dennis another great video! It was interesting to see you shift from right to left hand mowing and back. I am curious about your thoughts about the left hand mowing. I see in other comments that you are still getting a feel for it. I guess this feature would allow you to change up how you cut a field. Any other benefits?

2020 was the 6th wettest year on record for SC. But this spring has been so dry, our first cutting isn't going to be worth the fuel required to run the equipment. It isn't going to be a good year for hay.

Hello Dennis, I heard that if your Orchard grass goes to seed head it doesn't grow much after that. We have the same weather and problem here, thinking I should cut to. Are you going to Fertilize again after this cut? We drilled in more seed this year to. Great video Dennis, and Mower 👍👍

We have been so wet in south east Texas that we can't even get in the fields yet.

Great video thank you for making it 👍👍😀

Them disc mowers like that just about eat anything you want to put through it from native grass to 10 foot tall sedan grass that mower will eat

My Orchard grass didn’t do so well either. That’s a nice mower you got there. Seemed to me that the Deere didn’t like that steep hill with that mower. Did you have to down shift with the old mower? Thanks for the video.

Is your hay short this year? We had almost zero rain fall in April down here around Raleigh

I'm looking to buy one so I appreciate the content. super curious about the head land though? with that machine why not cut it first then carry on?

How’d you go getting used to the end turns and mowing over your left shoulder? Takes some practice haha

I like the center pivot and the way it spreads the hay so wide. Does the new cutting width mess with your tedding and raking?

I enjoyed the video, I like mowing hay and I like the haybine that you have, a few years ago I used a 13ft John Deer moco center pivot, when you had to turn on a side hill sometimes it would push the tractor is yours that heavy?again nice video!

Hey Denis have you ever watched Ted Kahler's channel I think he's got a 316 NH discbine. Holy $hit does he fly with that thing

Now that you have a disc bine that swings are you going to start mowing from one side of field to other instead of splitting field?

You answered my question. Can you swing the mower side to side while mowing

wow that thing cuts fast what mph are you running?

Glad to see the hay bine is working out for you. Maybe the second cutting will be better. What do you think about the left or right swivel on the mower?

How do you like the 313? We are thinking about updating. We have a 1431. Thanks for making this video!!

Not sure I could get used to mowing to the left, my 60 year old neck only bends to the right 😁

I got a kick out of you talking about people saying you shouldn't run over cut grass. The way this machine lays it down reminds me of an old sickle bar cutter. Talk about running over cut grass lol.

Just wondering something. Once in awhile kinda like hear a studder as the machine is running or am I hear things. Sounded like a stone one time. Just wondering your thoughts?

Do you know where the sound/noise is coming from? I can't recognise it from any European disc mower with crimper I used or heard. Transmission? When you went into thicker grass it didn't change tone. Neither when lifted. Just curious! :D Nice filming and explanations, Dennis!

Alfalfa does better than grasses when dry. I bet that's what happened with hay crop.

Mother Nature's COLD dirt said NO Start to growth then her LACK of RAIN said, Ok, Slow Growth.

Dennis, wondering if you know anyone who would cut my field for the free hay, in Meadows of Dan. The gentleman who did it last year apparently has a different phone number.
