Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Congrats on your new machine. Enjoy

I ran a discbine that width and loved it. 6 times around for headlands was the .magic number for me and utilizing the hydroswing so you are mowing back and forth instead of rounds really speeds things up , congrats sweet machine

I'd like to see more on how that hitch performs. Thanks for showing us, and congratulations on your new machine!

Great video as always Ben. Loving the new piece of equipment. Got to get used to the cutter. Keep the videos coming

Very nice piece of John Deere equipment. Mr. Ben you deserve it and keep up the hard work love your channel always have been here since the beginning!!

It’s a beast. Love the green. Great job Ben.

Thats a great cutter Ben. Your 2nd cut looks amazing. Take care and be stay

Nice mower Ben! I got the New Holland 312 with 2 point swivel hitch last year n what a difference in how much hay you can knock down in a hurry! Lol wish I would have gotten the draw bar swivel but o well! Lol Once you get use to it you will get very good swinging that mower around trust me! Being able to move the head around things when mowing is great! Good luck with it! 👍🏻

Congratulations on the new iron looks sharp. Alfalfa looks great.

Just WOW runnin with the big dogs now congratulations !!!!

Damn nice piece. I'll be honest, I was way off course on what you were getting. You made a great choice, you'll be able to make a good video about it with having seat time running it. I'm the same way with new equipment, it is truly nerve racking learning the ins and outs. Great video and see you next time

I have a c500 with the v10 condition rolls. Mine had the same vibration when it showed up, we used 3/4” 3M double sided tape and it quieted right down. The quick change knives are nice and the tool works pretty decent just don’t lose the damn thing. I’ve got a late model 956 also and I’d say the 500 is a little slicker tool. I run my heads tilted back more than most and we cut fast, no stopping or slowing down. Running the 500 with a 6250R IVT and it’s a match made in heaven. Congrats you will be happy once it’s all figured out.

Nice mower Ben it's the big brother to the S300 (10ft side pull) we just bought new and we absolutely love it. You'll be happier the more you use it trust me

That is a beautiful beast!! I guessed correctly on the first teaser video and you commented, “I like your thinking”

Congratulations! Looks good!

Glad to see that you finally got it Ben- I as well have issues with learning new things and basically change in general but change is inevitable as my grandfather told me

Now you can say I'm doing it Harry again . Looks great Ben

Time is money for sure when you are making hay. And to get ahead of the weather and other obstacles that come during hay season. You will appreciate the time saved by the new machine. Good looking, even pretty like you say. Careful on the road with that 13’.

Congrats Ben! She is a beaut!

Ben, I got an S300 a month or so ago, and still learning.. I look forward to watching your C400...in action.

Nice Machine ,looks awesome Bed,had no idea on your teaser

Once you get the hang of that thing you will plain fly. I’d still go 6 passes around , with my 13 ft Center pivot mowing combo I just barely run over the outside windrow doing 6 passes( that’s working from one side of the field to the other). I like pushing forward or down for pivoting to the right and pulling back or up for pivoting left. Hard work always pays off!!

Keep that baby under a roof.love shinny Deere equipment

I have cut thousands and thousands of acres with jd mocos. My biggest advice is tilt the head all the way down and use the skid shoes to get ur desired cut height. That's where they cut the best. Only roll the head back if you know there's rocks as it is more forgiving that way. Also as others have said 6 headlands and swing it back and fourth. Sometimes deeres lay a heavy strip in the middle of the swath and it messes with ur dry down, the fix to that is changing the rotation of the middle 2 turtles. Anyway awesome purchase and let me know if you have any questions.

Looks to be a great time saver, best of luck with it.

Ben, really thought it was a tedder. I'm GREEN with JD envy. Always a learning curve with something new, hang in there. 😊👍💪

She's a beauty. Your doing fine Ben.

At this rate you won't have any red implements left! Haha Looks like a beast congrats

Good morning I think with all new machines take some time patients and you will figure it out. I think I'm the same but just relax it will come. Very nice though. That shield vibrating that not good like you say maybe you can put a couple bolts in place that will look neat and hold better. The foam thing may hold moisture and in time start rusting. Great new machine have fun. Have a good day.

Congratulations on the new mower! I bet some of that plastic edge protector from the parts store like people put on the edge of their doors would work good on that sheet metal. I think you can even get it in green but chrome work look good.

Congratulations on the new tool. Am sure you’ll figure it out soon.

I feel your pain, Ben...I too am a slow learner when it comes to new technology. On the other hand, I am now fully retired, so I don't have to bother with so many new things coming my way. Just realize how fortunate you are being a farmer and being your own boss. Take care and be safe out there. BTW, my ancestry is similar to yours: German and Irish!

That's a nice mower, looks similar to our 835 moco. If it's anything like ours when you run header tilt all the way tilted forward it will really scalp your fields. We had to move the skids to the highest position to help with that issue. Good luck with it

It’s basically an 835 with some upgrades

I always have thought you could use a bigger windrower. I know you hate doing something new but if you start cutting on one side of the field and swing the head side to side coming right back beside your previous pass will save you a lot of time. Once you get on to it, it's pretty easy.

Congratulations on the new mower...

Nice looking Cutter........With the variety of our Hybrid Bermuda grass.... very little dry down time can be gained by using a Conditioner....... Usually w work with a 3 day cycle... Almost everyone uses Disc mowers......What we needed and just aquired were wider Tedders......We had 2 4 basket Krones, but a Case/IH dealer had 2 HT 6101 6 basket Pequeas that he had to move........ So he cut a fantastic deal.......Guess who makes John Deeres carted tedder?

Your not alone champ. I have some trouble and get frustrated when learning new equipment. Especially if they are newer and not older models.

Nice very very nice well done Ben

Thats HUGE LOL.. that is awesome.

Looking good be safe

I think you're going to love it once you get used to it! Congrats!

I like your new mower Ben

Nice! Great vid!

Congratulations! I hope it works out well for you.

Ben we run 2 Center pivots over 2500-4000 acres a year over here in Australia you turn on 4 but we do 6 headland laps before we start our up and backs makes turning easier and faster great buy mate done well

Really was thinking it was a tmr. Had stuff to make feed was hoping to see ya get to feed it efficiently

That thing looks like a beast. I bet it can be frustrating especially when it’s time to cut hay I know exactly what you mean

Ben, I think your stressing yourself out BUT you should be extremely proud! Great buy to speed up hay making!

Hello Ben; Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! When you get comfortable with the machine and use the swing going back and forth, how much the acres per hr. will increase. Went from a 12’ rigid frame (IH 1290) in the 70s/80s to a 14’ Owatonna swing frame (model 235) 80s/90s. Acres per hr. almost doubled even going slower because of slower sickle speed (1500+ down to 1350), strokes per min. Splitting odd shaped fields and driving on head land’s wastes a lot of mowing time. Mowing on the left takes a little time to get used to. Quality dry hay is made when the sun is shining. ☀️ 😎 👨🏻‍🦳 🐄 (🍻days end)

wow look at the pipes on that baby lol

A couple of self tapping screws will take care of that sheet metal

Not silly we are creatures of habit they are hard to break and as the sang goes it’s tough teaching an old dog new tricks

The one with the most toys wins 🏆 😃

Very nice! Congrats! I was only totally wrong. 😂😂 All those months of teasing with no satisfaction at the end. Sounds about normal. She'll definitely pay for herself with a quickness. You'll learn it, like everything else, and it'll become second nature. I'm the same way, especially with different tractors. Once I'm comfortable, I'm good. Until then, not so much. Honestly took me a year with the new (to me) backhoe. Came damn close to spending the money to get the old one rebuilt, even though it wasn't worth it. That was way worse than dealing with my ex mother in law, and she was Satan's bitch. No lie. Her son was, too, come to think about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So can switch sides in the middle of the feild

So who had the first correct guess?

She's a beut clark

I know the neighbor just siliconed that shield

Kind of ruined the teaser when you have it in the title. Just wondering with the center point why you still split the field

2” foam tape ordered easily from Grainger…
