Good video Gerry 👍 the JF can certainly deal with a fair swathe of grass 💪 how true was your comment about covering the pit 🙄 amazing how people managed to find other jobs that needed done when that time came 😕 replacement for the JD telehandler 🤔 Manitou seem to be making a name for themselves these days 💪👍
Well gerry if your planning on getting a new teleporter over next few years would you consider maybe a pivot steer loader? Maybe one of the old jd ones or if you want something newer like a jcb tm320, personally I'd be tempted to have best of bothcworlds that way, but if you wanted a regular one, merlo make great nimble compact machines with great reach, matbro made great machines aswell but newest ones must be 25 or more years old. Anyway just my thoughts, great video btw.
I’m always trying to figure which is best when there is rain on the way 1. Cut and bale dry the same day or 2. Cut and leave for a couple of days but it gets wet. I’m leaning towards cut dry and bale the same day..
I like the idea of a silage wagon, would reduce the amount of man power need to put in the silage down to 2. the problem with it is cost of a good wagon. For a good one. It wouldn’t justify it to lift our acres. The jf is a cheap way of doing it. We have the trailers and tractors. We hire 1 man with a trailer and a friend drives his tractor with another trailer and we do his in return. So it don’t cost us much. In future u never know. But for now, the jf is working out well
Hi Jerry , you have a small to medium suckler farm 50 cows yet allot of shiney metal and that brand new 215 R and now talking a bout a second new loader , question is how the hell are you doing it ?😮
150 acres of tillage…,Finnish 300 beef a year. Over 100 young stock at any one time, 70 acres of hay amongst other enterprises , do all our own work other then combining but only 50 suckler cows pays for anything . Yea. 😂👍
@@gerry6420 I see do you rent the 150 acres or is it owned , 300 beef cattle is good going but you must buy in at that rate and that ain't cheap and to finish them 🤔 tillage guys are on the bread line if you were to believe everything you hear, and they maintain they need all this money they can get for straw and the money from the government to bale it , its a joke farmers ripping off farmers or are tillage guys a cut above the rest 🤔
I think of anyone. Tillage farmers rip other farmers off the least. They are price takers. Market reflects the cost of grain and straw. When round bales wasn’t making enough to cover cost of baling, turning and loading. I didn’t see other farmers giving extra to help tillage lads out. Now when it’s 30€ a bale out of the field you want them to take less. Bit naive that. If your selling cattle yourself, or sheep or what ever u have, do you take less then their worth in the market at the time or get as much as you can?
Market reflects the mess the government made of the straw market on top of a bad year last harvest and bad spring , the greens paying grants to incorporate 40% of the straw has created a sudden shortfall which grain growers and taking advantage of , there is no way its worth that to throw under cattle, already inputs cripple the beef industry , more and more farmers building slatted tanks so you will be left with it soon enough incorporate it see the great use it will be , the price was talked up scare mongering also ? The government made a right mess of things
@@rangecomand I’m more then happy to chop it. At 15-20 euro a bale. It’s not worth messing with. I been chopping 50% and baling 50% for last few years and when I take the value of it ploughed in. And time and fuel saved not having turn it, and load it and cost of baling it, then deliver it. I’m far better off. The government hasn’t created the shortfall. Very few farmers have chopped their straw, myself included. The poor weather this year has ment straw amount per acre is well down on norm. The bigger issue is a big drop off on sown acres this year. Partial again down to poor weather for planting winter and spring crops, but also down to dairy men giving crazy money for land and putting tillage lads out of it. It’s been a bit of a perfect storm for this to happen.i think if we get a normal weather year straw will be back to normal price and be plentiful enough. I’ve all slatted sheds because I could never understand lads bedding cattle. Might be alright with small numbers, but with any kinda numbers Its not feasibly. As for the straw, I’ll not be left with it. I’m happy to chop it all apart from what I need myself.
Nothing on a 3420 interchanges with a matbro handler. John Deere bought them out in 1997 and redesigned them. They kept a similar shape in some regards. But everything is bigger and stronger with all deere design and deere engine obviously. There a cracking machine even still today would work most new handlers into the ground 👍
First… I’ve always wanted to say that 😂. Pouring here this morning which wasn’t give either 🤷🏻♂️
You can mark it of your bucket list now Adrian 😂
you bet Paddy294 to first Adrian now that's saying something. Must be a wet day there in Cavan Ha ha 🤣
@@IFarmWeFarm quick off the mark today lad 😂
The only flies on Adrian are paying rent😂😂😂
TM320s JCB Gerry great machine as well mighty turning circle
@@eamonngrace5281 yea I like them. I’d love to try a 420s
Fantastic to see a John Deere fleet lifting silage all that’s missing is a 10 series 😉
Hard to beat it. Wonder if I set up a go fund me could I Russell up the money for a 6910/7810 no funds to buy one 😂😂
@@gerry6420now your talking we have a 6110 and 6410 at home fanatic tractors
Gerry, remember what I told you in June in the yard. Manitou 737 130. Once you go French, you'll never look behind you!
@@brendanquinn3295 I’ll have to get one on demo for few days
Hi lad that was a great job with your sliage and class video to it was a great video all round 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video Gerry and a great team covering the pit..thats were the dinners are worked off!😅
You look after your machinery well its a credit to you.
Nice to see you guys getting your silage done.
Great video Gerry. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Gerry those Kverneland mowers are very tidy, I used to mow years ago with a 10 foot kuhn and a fiat 100-90
You are Doing a good job of farming.
So modern, the machines operate at super speed, which is really exciting
Good video Gerry 👍 the JF can certainly deal with a fair swathe of grass 💪 how true was your comment about covering the pit 🙄 amazing how people managed to find other jobs that needed done when that time came 😕 replacement for the JD telehandler 🤔 Manitou seem to be making a name for themselves these days 💪👍
I always loved the sound of the 6930..
Unbeatable…. 3650 is great as well
U should definitely look into them jcb tm loaders
Kramer (JD part owned) seems to be getting a popular option. I know you had one out on demo previously. Manitou are also a popular machine too.
Good video Gerry.
Still torturing yourself filling on the wrong side 😂 real credit to your team thats a tidy job 👏
trailer men doing good job filling themselves 👍

Are going to tullamore show Sunday
Great video Gerry 👌
Would you do a walk of the maize?? Great Job as always Gerry 👏
Good stuff
Top video gerry
Merlo for a new tele. 👌
I’m always trying to figure which is best when there is rain on the way 1. Cut and bale dry the same day or 2. Cut and leave for a couple of days but it gets wet. I’m leaning towards cut dry and bale the same day..
Top video young man. JCB TM 320 or a TM 420s.
2 videos in a week you have Harry thinking its Sunday...😂
Said I better get my finger out and do a few 😂
Merlo, 7m I have tried JCB, MANITOU, pick a merlo all day long, worth a demo
Would you ever think about adding a front mower or is it not a good job with a trailer mower?
Just wondering where r u going to put ur maize silage pit
If you ever what a hand doing silage with the 3650 and the small double axle…. Give us a shout. It can’t have changed much from 30 years ago 😀
Surprise ya dont.get.bigger harster tractor well fit drive it 900 some yoke good job
Gerry I see there you have Fearse food regrowth on the silage fields, how ??
@@thomas_4426 good? Ground is fertile. It got slurred today. Gona take 3rd cut off it in 6 weeks. Bales
Enjoyable video yet again Gerry.
Hard to beat a manitou tellehandler Gerry,very good all round machine.
Done well not to bring dirt in
Would you ever see yourself getting a silage wagon and doing away with the jf ?
I like the idea of a silage wagon, would reduce the amount of man power need to put in the silage down to 2. the problem with it is cost of a good wagon. For a good one. It wouldn’t justify it to lift our acres. The jf is a cheap way of doing it. We have the trailers and tractors.

the new model kramer 33.8t only job.
What’s that. 3.3 ton lift. 8m reach?
@@gerry6420 yep but would be a bit ropey on the pits 😂
Did you ever think of getting front mowers for silage
Yea love a front mower. Be great job
Great work as always
