Best of luck with your new mower Richard, never seen that type of mower bed with 3 blades before. Great addition to the any farm 👍

Harry, top answer to the can I miss school tomorrow question 😂

Changing the blades is an easy job with an impact wrench. If you have a decent cordless drill then buy a body only impact wrench of the same brand and use your drill battery and charger. Even a cheap lidl parkside impact wrench that you just leave in the cab will work. Personly i have a 1/2 dewalt brushless that i use, aaves loads of time and has yet to fail on a wheel nut.

That's 99% quieter than the massey mower

Well done on the new equipment, much needed. Don’t forget to grease every time you put it on and take it off, bit of grease reduces the maintenance

I love machinery. Always have. But I am peculiar in that I don't like new stuff anymore. There was a time when I wanted the latest and greatest. But by about mid 80's that changed. Everything started getting more complicated. Everything built down to a price. Not designed to last. Computers controlling all functions. Not being able to work on them yourself. Emissions crap. There is little to love for me in new machinery. The older I get. The worse I get. I could go back to a horse.

Congrats on your new mower Richard. That's one less thing to worry about. Looking forward to the mowing videos.

When harry said it was bright I thought it would be a pottineger

Nothing wrong with orange it cool. I was surprised to see three bladed discs never seen that before.

One Funky Farmer and Two dogs went to mow🎶 Looks like the right decision for you Rich. Great that you could use the same supplier - hopefully your loyalty is rewarded. Any Lagoon update?

Knverland bought taarup and then bought vicon, then kubota bought Knverland. Saw triple blades on a vicon before. Plenty of heritage a long established mower with Japanese quality.

Good luck with the new mower Richard,hope it does a good job mowing the Hell of A Crops of Graaas you will have🌱☘🌿🌱🍀🌱🍀😁

The Kubotas are just KV underneath good call I would say good on you guys!

Perhaps the reason Harry preferred the Kavernerland variant of this mower is that it would save him having to correct your pronunciation every time to say Kubota (or is it Kubuto?). Joking aside, the 2.4m width should save you time and diesel with your “hell of a crop of grass” 😀

What a great choice you made 👏🏻👏🏻 Know a guy who has one in the Kverneland colours 16 years and it’s still going strong . Delighted for you all after the tough year you had last year

Something where to be… matches well with the tractor,,, and the headstock looks strong

Brilliant Richard, great choice from Ted Hopkins Machinery, and supporting a well known name here in Monmouthshire.

heading into our 3rd season on a Kubota mower, no complaints. We found the 3 blades cut short 2nd and 3rd crop a lot nicer than the 2 blade.

Kbooota tractor next on the shopping list! lol

Hy Richard I Think you did the right thing, Thats Vicon technique, because kubota bought Vicon/Kverneland and with the 3 blades per disc the mowing Quality is very good I wish you good luck with the mower

Nice looking mower, good buy for sure

New equipment is always cool. So I pulled a Richard yesterday and spilled a line of fertilizer about a 1000 feet. Ground driven spreader and I forgot to disengage the drive wheel.

Well done on doing what’s right for you and yours. Great video as always. Take care and love to all xx

That should be a good mower Richard 👍🏻 basically a vicon mower because they are built in the same factory.

Nice one, looks solid, good company history - cracking purchase there.

"Well wear!" Great choice there and it will serve you well for years! As we say here in Ireland "You have to cut your cloth to measure!" ie there is no need for excess or waste! Many thanks!

I have the same mower!! Great little mower. One thing I learnt was there is a working and parked leaver on the ram if it’s in parked it won’t pick up all the way and you can’t get the pin in to lock in transport mode. You may have already worked it out but just thought I’d say as the company I bought it off didn’t know why it wasn’t going fully up. Love the vids

I think you got a good one Richard. That should last a good long time.

Great video Richard, nice new mower, doing a great job. The old 265 and the haybob will do a few more years yet.

Nice mower and good choice going for the biggest one in your budget 👍

Happy Fathers day 🐄🥳 . Congrats on your new mower😃looks awesome !

Hi Richard, nice to see you have your new mower. It is running quiet witch is nice hope you get many years of use out of it good for you. Crack on, be safe!

Best of luck with the new purchase. Hope she does well for you.

Nice to see that you made your decision based on your needs.

Best of luck with the new mower Richard. Very good brand should serve you well

Well done with the new purchase Richard, sounds to run much more quietly than the red one! That alone has got to be better long term for your health! Just need to get that Massey hitched off the muck spreader and on to the front of the new mower now!! Would be a much better tractor for the job , better visibility nice shuttle nice pto switch faster hydraulics with better spool lever position good passenger seat and best of all no loader in the way!

i stopped the vid after harry ask wat mower u got, and i think a Pöttinger :) ah Kubota i would have never quess that lol, dint even know they made mowers

AS they used to say..... Ohh suit's you sir suit's you.... 😊 😂 . Looks like a good purchase for your farm .. I'm wondering if you can get a deflection plate for under the mower so it's then not sticking out the back.. I'd either whack my shin or bend it within an hour or so 😂... stay safe Richard and Co 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Ps that's a hell of a high crop of grasssssss.

Best of luck with the new mower on the farm 👏👏

Great choice in mover. Kubota do some really good bits of kit

Good luck with the new mower, never saw this type before but it will certainly be a great asset to your farm.

We got rain and thunder storms in South Yorkshire in the night but got more warmer❤

Perfect mower for you not massive or to small will make raking the grass for contractors more easy in a big row . Well done great choice 👍

Thats looks a very good mower,3 blade excellent.

I've owned a Kubota discbine for almost 7 years now. It's been a great mower. Glad you chose a bigger one- much more efficient for your farm 🙂

Brilliant choice of mower, iv'e got the vicon version, mines a mower conditioner, same width, my 100 hp Massey drives it no problem

Well done. Good luck with the mower. I think it probably has some Vicon heritage as well as Kvernaland Both now owned by Kubota. Disc certainly the way to go

What a great mower 😊

Congrats on the addition

I run a few Kubota bits; a tractor too. The tractor has been absolutely superb.

Congratulations on the mower

Good morning Richard and Harry, I was going to put my dark glasses on that looks the business great 👍 ❤you take care and stay safe and well,🚜⭐️⭐️😎.

Well done ! Looks like solid kit if the price was ok and it made sense I don’t see any reason not to get a long life out of that mower .

Richard/ Harry, great purchase will stand the test of time....Vicon is built to last...goood luck

Congratulations good choice 👍

Well done Richard on the new mower, I think the majority of us will be pleased you went for the 2.4 metre size ......your tractor seems to handle it with ease. and if it's basicaly a kverneland mower just in different colours i'm sure it will last you many years. As you quite rightly say you have to do things on a farm in baby steps and not all at once.

That mower you bought is actually a Kubota branded vicon. Vicon are the only mower to have the triple blade disk system. You are correct, Kubota own kvernland but also vicon. Any mower will be fine really so the deal which you are happy with is the best deal for you. Its the same as any machinery, if you look after it and not abuse it then it should serve you well.

good luck with your new mower

Looks like a nice machine, enjoy!

Nice bit of kit Richard. Sod three million different opinions. All that matters is you got the right bit of kit for the Farm's requirements. Can't wait to see the Pig Lolly 🐷 Crack on mate.

Great video once again Richard and what a great mower. Sorry if the comments got a little too much about the previous mower I'm sure as a community we just wanted to make sure you were making the right choice to go forward none of us would of wanted to make you feel like that.. and you need to do what is viable for yourselves and the business I guess like everything when you have numbers going through your head different people different companies it all winds through your mind and can get overwhelming... But with that new mower wow you'll have your fields knocked down in no time keep up the great videos 👍👍 and all the best to yourself and the family ❤

that kubota that you bought has a good history behind it it is made well with few to no breakdowns, you made the right decision

It's an exact copy of a Vicon mower in kubota colors, had 2 of those mowers here over the years, grand mower. Best of luck with it, don't hit too many stones or you'll be worn changing blades 😂

Well done, Richard looks good as for the slower lift, it might be the flow rate on,the tractor, which, of course, can be regulated. Harry will know how😂

Good choice can see that you very happy funky farmer can see you an farmer manger Harry are pleased with it

KZfaq can be fun , but it also can make you tear your hair out 😆 .

At the end of the day it’s got to be right for you and the farm so good luck with it

Richard slow folding will be flow restrictors on the mower ram or pipe work to stop it ripping itself apart . Some comments recommend adjusting the tractor spool flow which it doesn't have, others suggest your tractors knackered just because it's got a new mower hung on it, I think not. By the way June 26th 8pm popmaster TV on more4

Good purchase Richard disc mower much more efficient than drum mower

Well done enjoy it

Doing a great job funky

Think that's the right decision for you and it looks like it works let's hope it does a good few years

good one Richard!!

Looks like a nice mower ,quite simply and and easy to use and maintain just what you want, …. It will cut that HELL OF CROP OF GRASS!!!!! Nicely. Crack on !!! I wonder where that massive fire was in the background of your video looked big

You done right to go a bit bigger because it will save time and be slightly more fuel efficient , the Massey mower sounded very noisy it had a high pitched whine from it , best of luck with it Richard

as long as the price is right and the mower right for you then thats all that matters, nowt wrong with kubota, know a guy down here that runs a full fleet of them plus their mowers ect , it will save you some time thats for sure. knocking down them acres

Well done on the new mower Richard but i notice no one has picked up on the two dogs in the field , they should not have been there , if a rabbit had run out of the grass those dogs would have chased them and could have run in to mower ????? did you see Farmer P and the fawn when he was mowing .

Yes kubota compmany bought the vicon brand which was previously owned by kverneland. Vicon is good quality stuff. They are exact same build juat different colour

Good buy! Original is Vicon mower. The best cut but can be fragile.

Super choice Richard

That looks like a vicon mower with a kubota sticker on it 👍

Their the same as a vicon mower, nice buy

You need to get hazer the universal hobbies diecast kubota mower

Good to see funky Farmer having new machinery, take a look in the little box with a flap on it besides the pto 540/1000 lever, you can speed up Hydraulic system Rich. Crack on

Well wear man whats best for your pocket is what matters

congratulations 🎉 on new mower kubota for farming funky farmer Richard Cormack and my lat dad had on their acres property in mountain tambourine in Australia 🇦🇺 ride on one from you tube subscriber steve foster lives in Australia 🇦🇺

Harry gave it away for me when he said it's bright

Nice new mower you can get a kubota tedder and rake and then a Kubota tractor there really good

Love the wellies

Good choice kubota make great machines .

super mower Richard but keep your front loader down for better oil flow and front ballest and to save your loader bushings

Good call. As part of the kvernland group, I recognise the signature 3 blade disc from vicon. Very good to use, excellent on big, or down crops. Highest I ran one was over 35kph before it stalled, stopped cutting. A two disc mower struggles over 15kph, and struggles with heavy, etc,.. Shame they still have the same skin off knuckle design for the blade bolts though..Get yourself a decent o'ring pick, to clean around the bolt head, and a deep socket the correct size for the nuts. 17mm?🤔

Good morning The funky farmer

Richard, you'll be closing the fields out as soon as you've opened them up with that! If you're happy with the deal that's all that matters, crack on !

You could adjust your swath board to leave a narrower row

👀🙄🐾👍Good choice an 8 foot mower

Very nice Richard you can use that new mower to mow them eyebrows off whilst it’s sharp 😂😂

I think the slow lifting is more to do with the hydraulic pump flow on your McCormick than a issue with the mower. Farmer P remarked on how much faster the hydraulics on the new tractors he tried out were compared to his Case. All to do with Gallons per minute. Or should that be Litres per minute . Harry reminds me of just how keen I was at his age to be allowed to drive tractors.

Be a good mower just make sure belt are tight enough my neighbour has just bought one the same and he knackered the belt on first day because they weren’t tight enough

Good kubota! This is kvernaland.
