Best of luck with your new purchase..when I use the quad spreader I put mud flaps on the quad and a cover on the spreader to stop it filling with mud and dung.
Just made me late for milking! Anyway I wish we could let our girls out for a few hours,but we would have to issue life jackets for some of the paddocks and waders for the rest so they may stay in for a while yet. Quad spreader looks like a good job especially for the year that’s in it.
Good spreader you should get yourself one of the bag stopper for filling it they are a good job and saves time and work filling her, good video enjoy your time on the farm
Cheers Christy. Was just thinking about that yesterday, if I get enough work for it I’ll buy the bag stopper. It will hold the whole bag, I just half fill it presently due to the poor ground conditions
the weather has been tough alan. we have no cattle out yet only got ewes and lambs out recently. the sower is some yolk all the best with it. cavan had a good win in croke park against fermanagh
Another good video Alan, I bought a fertiliser spreader, for my quad a few years back , great for getting out early, to get grass moveing, But when you go in on paddocks where the cows have just bein , the spreader looks more like a muckspreader!!
I was thinking, if you were putting dairy cows in on good grass covers, it wouldn’t be a good idea, to say, spread nitrogen or protected urea, 2 or 3 days before grazeing, Nitrogen would still be in the grass, & also in the milk….
@@dronedairys7461 yea we are locked up with tb as well so have nearly 100 calves and all in and cows back in now at night hopefully from Sunday on weather up, it’s every annoying not getting good clean outs in first cut or slurry on Paddocks that wear grazed heaps of grass to eat
@@michaeldorn5330 that tb can be a nuisance alright. That’s a lot of calves to feed. I am getting great graze outs but I am closing them in tight with fences for 4 hour allocations.

I wonder if a lad top dressed the paddock ahead of them instead of after them?

looks like you like chucking it into the hedge
God no lad it’s too dear for that
Good video lad, fertiliser seems to be dropping back in price thankfully,how much is it up your way?
I hope you don’t have that van there when the milkman comes
No it was moved !!😂😂
It’s not easy Alan 3 hours grazing is the only way this kinda weather
Yea and it’s very time consuming rooting with back fences and spur roadways

How big is your farm and did you always want to be a farmer?
