Really Nice video! Thanks for the tips and replacement procedures also website info. Really my biggest complaint with Vermeer is, not enough or absents of grease fittings! I’ve added many grease fittings to my Vermeer 604N, the VR 1222 rake, I need to add some on the TM 800 mower,around the main pivot pin. Happy Harvesting 😊

Thanks for the detailed video Chris. I have the exact same mower with quite a bit less wear on it but its nice to see what I will most likely need to do in the future. I have been into the cutter modules a couple of times so I was familiar with most of that but not the other things you did. I will tell you I have found the most annoying thing about this mower is the fact that those four little bolts that hold the bearing & gear into the module is the weak point on this cutter. If you hit any obstruction of any size, dirt clod, rock or anything like that it will pull those four little bolts right out of the hub and completely ruin the module. Speaking from experience... The only other issue Iv had with mine is the aluminum ends on each end of the lift cylinder will break off so I strongly advise you to have a spare end on hand. Other than that I really love the mobility and ability this mower has in transport getting into small gates and then having such a wide cutting width to shorten the time in the field. It does a good clean job cutting as well.

Great video Chris. Nice that you point out the spots to look for. That mower comes out looking great. Look forward to seeing you cut some hay.

Thanks! add also "tm1400" so more peoples will see this video. im going to pick up one tomorrow. We have smaller vermeer 40 serie mower it is 2004 and it has been very good machine. But will see how those bigger ones will last.

Your repair confirmed my thoughts on how the power is transfered down the cutter bar..... The Cutter bar power transfer changes from vertical to horizontal to vertical back to horizontal at each turtle, using bevel gears, shafts and spacers each requiring correct clearance.... Our cutters or going on 7 years without any maint other than blades and grease.... Bar has gear oil from factory.... never had to add

Okay now i got the machine. My lifting system ball joint was shot. You can see it 2:30 under red lock bar. i can't believe there is not grease point there. There is huge stress to that joint. I would put at least some oil there "daily". Also both lift cylinder ends was welded, some one said here that these ends are aluminium, but in my machine those are cast iron. Other wise it was in good condition. I can see why they put those dually wheels, it jumps very easily with singles

Did you have a paint code for the yellow paint?

Chris I just got my 2024 4710 and I have 540/1000 pto. Was your tractor only ordered with 540? Idk what is different but mine came with a 1000 pto shaft and our ford 9600 is same way you just swap out pto shaft for whatever implement your running. I’m assuming gear box is different but idk, when you said that it really surprised me! Thanks for another good video!
