I've seen 2 firsts in this video, 7 mowers working for the same farm and a lad mowing in his pyjamas!!!!! 😀
'How is water made' 🤔
Explanation Exemplary
👌 😅
Glad you appreciated that! 🤣
Great Video, nice to see the farm dried out and plenty of grass, thanks for sharing
Only just started watching your channel but find it really interesting and informative.
Welcome aboard!
Thats nuts. All them mowers. Fair play.
I got some grass lifted today. I cut it myself on Thursday afternoon, and then I rowed up myself later on yesterday and buckraked it today. When it's guaranteed dry, it saves me money, being able to most of the work myself.
I'd definitely have cut that 70 acre acre, then get it rowed up a day before the harvester to let the ground dry up, especially when you were finished the first block of land at 3!
We added red clover to our Italian ryegrass about 5 years ago to fill out the bottom so there was very little or no dirt to be seen
Increased grass yield significantly Although difficult to wilt red clover will smother the Italian in further cuts to a point where its not obvious you are growing any Italian.Red clover loves warm moist conditions and thrives with 4/5 week cutting
I dare you to try it
I'm interested!
I'd have thought you would have a farm map uploaded to the tractors with wet spots and various other points of interest so that others like David could do field work without getting bogged or hitting Manhole covers (like TomP).
Some.job good see out geting silage done
You won’t get this in time I’m sure… but… raking so the field can dry is always the best option if necessary. The raked grass won’t dry out as much as it would leaving it 2 days in the swath. And any chance of drying out a field more before running even more equipment over it is best for the future crop.
Mow it today
Then cut it first on Saturday
that way if it is a little dryer you can put the wet silage that you chopped on Saturday on top of the dry stuff
Hydraulic top link on the shopping list 😎
7 mowers cutting 70 acres= 10 acres each.......i'm surprised any one was prepared to come and cut a small acreage it would take them longer to put there mowers on the tractor than it does doing the mowing
If they all have RUclips channels they will be doing it for the content.
Say in the video that the contractor was being paid by the acre. Must have made sense to them.
I think it was to check everything was working for them before they had loads of fields to mow infront of them.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed

How come you do the outside rounds with the front mower beside the hedge and not the rear. Surely lots of missed bits for going clockwise around the feild instead of anticlockwise?
Much easier to keep the front mower full rather than the side?
@@FarmTheoryNI I understand for long work just thought to maximise cutting width just thought it keeps feilds tidier on the headlands for taking a little less on 3or4 outside rounds 🤷♂️
Hi,
Is that westerwold grass?
Apologies if you said already
Think he said Italian ryegrass
Italian and hybrid.
Would puma able drive harster
It can and it did!
How many acres doing
140
Who is your contractor that cuts your grass
Henry Giles.
Weres the Sunday video
A day late!
How many acres
140ac
I don't cut silage till july
This panicks me. 🤣
Why cut at 10 cm height
Better quality, quicker regrowth, faster drying, less VFAs.
By d look of that field ur mowing in video u won't b over loading d trailers
It was perfectly dry. 🤷
If you’re getting mowers in why have your own? Depreciation, work diesel etc. This is coming from Australia where we could cut 250 acres at a time with 1 tractor and mowers. Just keep at it 🤷♂️
🇮🇪🇮🇪💪💪🙏🙏👍👍
That could be the wrong colour flag I think.. not that it matters 👍
I think your dad is right wasting money on hired help when you have such good equipment of your own seems a bit mad also the suger content of your grass is higher in the evening which should give you better quality silage with higher energy levels
It's about giving it time to dry, that was the priority. The sugar levels change is very little, it's kinda a myth.
We were always taught that at Greenmount. To cut in afternoon when photosynthesis is happening. No?
