We used to undersow cereals with grass & clover using an Alvan Blanch brush box drill, harvest the crop, bale the straw, and the grass & clover would start to emerge more strongly
I suppose that years ago the stubble would have been burned off and then a light scratch over with a set of discs to produce a seed bed? Excellent video as usual Dan.
Great to see this all happening. Back in the seventies we used to mix grass seed with fisons granular fertiliser in a tin bath . This was then tipped into a Lely spreader , the idea being the heavy pellets would propel the grass seed much further. It seemed to work ok then , but an expensive procedure now I reckon with the price of fertiliser!
Lovely. Nice looking tilth there. Here we think it is beneficial to apply some lime on min till reseeds. Good to see the artic at work. It should work out well.
Another video that shows you doing the tasks that are required to produce butter and ice cream and milk. Thanks so much for your efforts Dan and brother and dad.
Great to see the 1200 operating. A machine ahead of the pack in the 60's. It seemed a monster at the time when a silage contractor arrived with one. Good on you for keeping yours working.
Nice to see the MF 1200 working,we spread our grass seed with a Vicon and tow a grass dredge directly behind the spreader then roll it. Thanks for an informative video 👍
Interesting no plough. We experimented with no plough cereals (wheat and barley) in the early 70’s. We used a heavy spring tine cultivator and rotavator to get a tilth. Worked well but always looked a mess with the stubble on top. Used a drill to plant with tickle bar on the back to cover the seed. Sprayed to deal with any mildew , fungus etc. didn’t seem to need to roll. Please let give an update on the progress of the grass growth etc.
Seedbed lookin good Dan 👍 nice to see the 1200 out , neighbour of ours had one for pulling a potato harvester but as an all round tractor the 595 turbo 4wd was a more capable tractor 👍 great video 👌
Hello from Oregon,USA watch your videos and immensely enjoy them particular vintage Thursday.I have a request for you.My newest tractor is a MF35 1962 and a Ford 640 1957 and a John Deere MC60 crawler 1940s.So I don't have any buttons or whistles to push or pull .So if you please when you push a switch or pull a lever for any implement you using at the time could you tell us what the switch or button or lever is activating.Thank you. a 80year old hay farmer.PS all adjustment to implements I use are mechanical.
Cracking video, well done. The arctic made for some really tight turns on the headland, well displayed on the drone footage. Make the work lights QD, you might need them in the future. Was that Bruv i saw in YOUR tractor ?
Good video Dan, what width do you drive when broadcasting the seed, I’d also prefer the broadcasting method for grass seed as the drilling can leave a lot of clay exposed
Great job Dan, don’t see any reason why that won’t work. Did you check for slugs? Just that material in the soil along with a bit of moisture they could be there. Your grass seed mixture, grazing or silage? or any extra clover? Thanks again, Alastair
Great video Dan,being from the states in don’t know,so I gotta ask the hedge cutting is the hedge used for like a fence or sound buffer and what size tires is on the 5712 front and back,thanks Dan your our favorite channel have a great week
Good to see the 1200 working. Autumn cultivation, my favorite time of the year.
That grass seed will take in my opinion. Ground temperature is still warm enough, good moisture and the stubble Will rot in nicely. Top stuff squire!

The stubble will rot and free manure for the grass great job 👍

My father did the same in a 4 acre field,4 years later its a lovely field of grass, loads of clover, hardly any weeds apart from a few dandelions
Another great video Dan. That’s a cracking picture of the 1200 in the sunset

Best seed bed and minimal expense.

Always good to see the 1200 out earning its keep.

Excellent video Dan 👍👍
Thanks for explaining about the capping and the two rollers. Seen it
Good video Dan you have great machinery for doing the re seeding mind you the 1200 looks massive on the rolls lol

Yes, no point taking the hedge cutter off just for 1 job.

great to see 1200 out and about will you be doing more with you 35
Of course 😊
Red sky at night shepherds delight
Great to see the 1200 out of hibernation

Thanks again, Alastair
Grazing, with clover. Keeping a watch for any slugs.
Was the spreader set for double overlap? Just curious. Thanks
Over here in Australia some drop the seed in between the tynes and the roller and that's all it needs?
Great video Dan,being from the states in don’t know,so I gotta ask the hedge cutting is the hedge used for like a fence or sound buffer and what size tires is on the 5712 front and back,thanks Dan your our favorite channel have a great week
The hedge provides a stock proof barrier between fields.
@@CowfarmerDan thanks Dan
Nice video as usual what camera do you use 👍
Gopro, a camcorder and dji drone.
@@CowfarmerDan thanks
🚜🚜🚜🚜😎😎👍
Lights are not original, but they work good.
🇨🇮🇨🇮😁😁🙏🙏👍👍
grass seeds will come no problem but so will any wheat seed that is there will grow aswell
Yes, but cows can graze that in spring.
Grass seed really only needs planting in 3/4 of a inch for best results, any deeper just a waste really
And I forgot chocolate
