      @@antonyfarming yeah does make a tidy job… just cuts too much for a topper lol. Docks are a pain! I’ve really hit them this year but with round up. I keep picking a field and spot spraying them when I’ve 5 mins free. I’m still struggling a bit with my back mate😔 is not great🤦‍♂️

    Evening from France. Excellent videos of farming life 👏👏
    Your video on Fella rake repairs has saved me a lot of time but stuck on one part which I can’t remove to get to the pinion wheel. Any tips?

      Many thanks for your reply. Im trying to get the rotor hub off which sits on top on the pinion wheel. I have a various bearing pullers but nothing long enough or i think strong enough. Did you pull the hub and pinion together? Is there somewhere i can send you a photo?

      Casto many thanks for taking the time to reply. Will get my wife to look she’s the instagrammer! We too are in the middle of haymaking which worst time rake could have failed!! I ve managed to prise parts apart but cast hub did break. All parts ordered so 🤞should be able to get back up and running. I’m baling up the rows from mower at the moment as so hot here the rows cook without turning.
      Best of luck from France with haymaking 🍀

      @@ÉleveurAngus-m6g I was going to say it’s probably stick together. I did a single rotor at Xmas for a neighbour and we ended up cutting the main shaft out as it had rusted solid!
      Thanks, I hope you get sorted and baled up. We’re only getting low 20c’s at the moment 😔

    Bloody Himalayan balsam, best thing for it the flail. Fingers crossed for haymaking, I still have 30 acres to make.
