It's great to see a farmer cutting his own silage with a trailed machine. Great, well looked after equipment even if you had some issues. Such a clean yard and equipment. I enjoy your channel very much. I'm from a dairy farm in in West Cork but living in Mississippi since 2010. Texas before that. Keep up the good work.

Well I'm glad to hear that your gear does actually break down now and again! I was starting to wonder if you had a machine secret you weren't sharing 😂. It's typical isn't it, it's never just one thing it's three! Least it's all in and sheeted now 😊

Great to see you mention why you have chickweed , spraying is only a solution to your problem , to over come this you need to treat you slurry over the winter to tight up you free nitrogen in it, also reduce you nitrogen amount applied and add a carbon source with it like humic acid or molasses . Chickweed is there to mop up the free nitrogen in your soil ... and also has a huge nutrient feed valve ... a lot better then you ryegrass (get them tested if you don’t believe me ) also maybe think of adding more plants to your silage , like clovers ,Lucerne , chicory etc and even nettles ... plant diversity is key to animal health which can increase profit in your pocket .

Hi Gerry, A brilliant mowing video really enjoyed it and for me personally the footage of the smaller mower your Dad was on, I'm really impressed with the job it's doing and will really suit my job here. I think it's 3223 model from a previous video. No matter how hard one tries you will always have issues about a farm but all can be repaired, at least you got all the work done and nobody was hurt. Great weeks work you got through, the corn looking so well as well and great to have it all secured for the winter. Let's hope and pray now that you get the rest of the hay. Best of luck, 🙏🚜👍.

You’ve really got the hang of flying the drone now Gerry. Tyres will blow and parts will wear out from time to time, that’s just the way it is, so long as nobody got hurt that’s the main thing. Great video as always 👍

@edwardogrady6587 3 жыл бұрын

Killian Murphy too expensive? You’d be surprised what you’d buy a good 2nd hand self propelled machine in good working order for, compared the price of a new/fresh trailed machine. Not obliged to to hire work either for the farmer/farmers wanting to do just their own. No comparison in output either, most self propelled machines have horsepower to spare to tear through work, and it also frees up a tractor, not to mention the reduction in wear & tear on it. Not for everyone but there are a lot of self propelled machines nowadays doing just the work of the farmer.

Edward O Grady cheap self propelled harvesters are completely scrap. That’s why they’re so cheap. A decent one would at least 30k for even a small one. Your then having wear and tear on the harvester itself and servicing. You would pay for one easy without doing work for other lads

C.L Agri I’m as calm as you can imagine 😎, merely just comparing the cost of over priced trailed harvesters versus a good & well maintained self propelled harvester, even letting it be 20 plus years old.
