    Hi Gerry,
    Brilliant video as always really enjoyed it and so glad everything went well for you. Got all mine baled today Monday and was also surprised by the bale count as it was much better than I expected. 15 bales back on the same ground from last year. But in great form like your own. "A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay" (which we did not get or April either) old saying and a very true one in the wild west anyway. Look forward to the next video.🐄💧

    The JF performed like a dream. Thought it was going to clog a few times when it hit the heavier crop. Ever thought of using forage wagons? Or is it you get a better chop to the grass with a forager? 6420 sounds throaty for a wee one. Nice work.

    • @gerry6420

    Do you not find flicking the grass with the loader puts a lot of stress on the carriage? When I used to buckrake I used to use a push of one on the front found it much better job. As I wise man said to me when I first started on the pit look after the sides and the middle will look after it’s self. Great video love the jf900 so many memories of childhood

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  3 года назад

      Yes it’s hard on the carriage. I’d like a push off rake but it’s hard to justify it as we just do our own. But I agree. It would be better. Yes the jf always brings back memories.

      @oliver69cork46 4 года назад

      @@gerry6420 grew alfalfa (lucerne in Europe) in my farm a few years back in West Cork,it yielded very well and did well provided there's very dry gravel type soil. Made first cut bales, per acre had 12 at 56% dm and made terrific feed especially for young calves,no concentrate needed as protein was over 22%. But it limited land usage because to graze it's easily damaged especially after rain. Went to red clover,had it mixed with cocksfoot and it yielded extraordinarily heavy plus early spring growth and autumn too. My farm had a very dry nature,useless in a dry year. Horses for courses I guess. But you're right, it's climate dependant too,don't think lucerne would grow up West or Northolt from Cork on the periphery to East coast yes.
