Karen that topping was a great job. Great to see you putting on and taking off items without gloves. On all the Youyube videos now they could not even pick a small screwdriver off the workbench to put it into a tool box without gloves, And don't get me started on these building programmes on RTE, if they even have to even LOOK at a drawing they need a hard hat and safety glasses. I wonder how I ever survived to be 72. The world's gone mad. Your gentle approach and genuine concern with the cattle says a lot about you Karen. I do hope Norma's foot problem is only something minor.

When the machine is doing heavy work on rushes, and in the interests of grass growth,, and because your experimenting,,, try lifting the cutters 4 or 6 inches higher,,, works a treat.

Hi Karen, just stumbled across your channel a few days ago, and since then have, I think, watched all of your previous videos, it’s really relaxing to watch all of your work on the farm, no huge equipment, fields etc. just running a small family business, I bet it’s not easy at times, but you still keep calm, and you are so grateful for all you do. Noticed in one of the vids with comments about you talking to much😊 , you just make the content the way you like it to be, that’s what makes 99% of all here happy. At the end of the day, no one is forced to watch. I am a non farmer, and I just enjoy watching you make the farm run. Keep up the good work.greetings from me in Germany 🇩🇪

Hi Kare Bob Fom Aus. Wow love that you are topping with the Cows in the saame paddock. We always did this to increase our yeld of natural grasses. With the reeds they krerep and if you keep them as low as p[ossible ever tnough may be a little Rank for the Cows at the time they will become accusomed to this and what thy dont eat will not ever hurt th area you cut.The more sunlight you let in the more natural groth you will receive. Keep up the great Work and ike all that live on the land and work so hard never secong guess yourslelf you do a great Job. Aussie Bob. Oh the Ciw with the limp looked moore like a Hoof that a Joint.

You are spot on with the long stemmy bits, cows won't eat that and once mowed they can get to the good shorter stuff. Another benefit of what you're doing is the longer stemmy stuff can add to pink eye so you're helping to prevent that. Well done young lady

Great job Karen, and brilliant video, look forward to the next. ♥️

Great video Karen. Topping works good. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video again Karen and great work with the topping.

Look beautiful Karen Topper and Tractor running well. You look amazing sending love from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I trim my pastures about 6 to 8 inches high. The cows like eating the shorter, more lush grass and it also helps to keep the weeds under control.👍

good job with the topping cattle liked it and another lovely video all round

Look topping is the way to go & looks better all round. Keep 'er Lit

Great plan with the topping Karen ❤

“What more could they want from me now” - a bigger Bath? They’ll never fit in that one!

Karen I think you should look into buying a weed licker for the rushes , it’s a great way to get rid of them and when they turn brown then you will top them , Ken o O’Neill in Miltown is selling them and they are very good ones and you can pull it behind any of your tractors

Hi Karen, I do the same with the topping all of the time. Especially if I am not happy with the way a plot has been cleaned out before I move on the cattle. One tip for you is if you can top in the afternoon when the sugars will be at their highest, assuming that you have had some sunshine during the day, and you will find that they will eat out more of it because it will taste sweeter.

Top it. Keep those rushes down and let grass takeover. First field really turned out well!

Trial it again Karen, sure you have nothing to loose, good video again as always, thanks

The Topping turned out very nice Karen! Those Rushes can get in the way, but all in all the fields turned out lovely! Really hopping Sassy Miss Norma just has a tiny pebble or rock in her hoof, or she just was experiencing some tweaking in her leg. As much as she puts on a Fierce Facade, she really is a sweetheart! Also splendid to see that young calf out and about compared to when it was in rough shape before! The Sunstroke theory might just be what happened! I smiled hearing how the cows loved one particular field over another! We humans feel the same way about certain places we go to as well! Appreciate my seat in this channel! MOO From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

I did not know what the difference between a topper and a mower was. Good lesson! :)

great video cows and calfs looking well

Great job with the toping helps promote new young leafy grass.

Just to let you know… here in America smaller farms use your type of mower some use wider to make it quicker……over all your doing a great job and ❤❤❤❤ watching your channel

I love watching your videos Karen ❤❤be safe out on the farm God bless you and your family from Woodburn Oregon 🇺🇸 USA 😇😇

Looks like the mowing worked well, I would do it with the topper again on the new field.

Cool video!!! The cattle are looking great. 👍 I have never seen rushes here in the USA 🤷‍♂️

Great work 💪 We do exactly the same if the grass gets too tall. We have both a mower and topper, but we have better results with the topper since it seems the cows find that easier to eat. One tip, in the video I saw sometimes the topper is dragging a lot of loose grass what is pretty heavy for the tractor. With the 135 you would notice but with this tractor you won't, so keep an eye on it 😉 Love to see your passion with the cows 🤗

Hallo Karen another interesting video a disk mower is the perfect job for strong rushes invest in a hydraulic top link a great job

Freshly mowed fields looks nice.

My mower is adjustable height. I cut my pastures most summers about 4 times. I cut the stems and weed tops off. I try not to cut the grass but just a little of the tops. My pastures look good most of the time unless it turns really dry. It sure helps control the weeds. If grass puts up a seed head it will try to go dormant. That is one of the main reasons I cut the steams off, that and weed control.

Great video again Karen thanks for sharing

Your topper definitely has mulching blades on it but you can always change them out for cutting blades Karen. Hope Norma is feeling better now.

Well done!!!

Cracking video as always

You’re a ‘Topper’ at the farming

Karen. I'd recommend a metal bar bolted accross the middle of the bath. A neighbour of mine found animal on its back in one where they were pucking eachother.

Great video again I am completly opposite to you. I have always had a mower but never had a topper untill this year. They are worth the investment the only advice id give when looking for a mower is try to get a disc mower instead of a drum mower like I have got because it is easyer to get parts for them. You might have to pay more in the short term but it will pay off in the long term.

great vid you and farmer phil the then the veggie boys in the us love them vids

Good video Karen x

Another great video cattle looking good where’s the mighty 135 keep up the good work

Thanks for the video well done

Looks nice , looks like a nice day . Hello to your Dad They are like giant doggs , they are curious about all sort of nothing . Thats what farmer P taught me . Its hot in salt lake city utah 100 degrees . Enjoy the film .

Great work keep them rushes cut, if you get a hydraulic top link for the 390 it would make life easier like lifting the bath, there not too expensive.

Nice little project for ye putting a drinking traugh on an ibc tank for watering the cows . Your spike would move it around for you nice and handy too .

Some years our lovely neighbour comes over and tops my donkey field. This year we have 4 in calf belted Galloways to eat the grass down. So far 1 was bad news, 2 already calved and watching for the 4th. Sometimes they do the calving easy but not always….

Hi suggestion once your eye is healed or before put on Googles to protect your eyes that's what's important not what someone thinks how you look with them on, only thing that matters is your health.❤❤😊 if don't like Googles then a pair of safety glasses with side shields.

Cows are nosy they need to be where the action is😂😂

Really enjoy your videos I live in Texas it has been very hot here about 103 will the heat index is it's like 110

Could I suggest driving slower when slashing. This will get the horsepower into the blade. And, if it is at all possible get the blade as close to the ground. What we found by doing this was the tussock was being ripped out of the ground. We did this by getting longer high tensile bolts and shimming the blade coupling on the gearbox.

🆒 Video..Karen..U LOOK Great Wearim Sunglasses... !!!!

Don’t know much about goats but some people are hiring out their goat herds in the US to clean out brush of course they are hard to contain so perhaps not a good choice 😂

😃🚜😃👍

Stick with the topper Karen just get a fully offset topper mounted or trailed. I use an 8 foot trailed topper nicer job than any mower just my opinion . You have some lovely charolais.

❤

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂Poor Norma, Please keep us updated on her condition?

Great video Karen,what is the update on the 390 loader,thanks have a blessed evening

Is your locking clip come loose on top link because the is tilting forward watching the video now

Will I send down new wood for gate

have to look up what a rush is. not a term i have heard in the US...obviously a tough weed

💎❤❤❤💎

Why don't you get a sprayer to do the rushes

Karen joined the Kerry secret service

you need a hydraulic top link to pick up that bath

Notice you leave tractor idling when you get out....how have you overcome it slipping back in gear?

You need a hydraulic top link for the 390 makes life easy

Your a bit like us all in Ireland, if there was any money in rushes you’d be a millionaire 💶💶💶💶

Well farmer Phil used a mower as a topper now you used topper as a mower lol

The 1 tree 5 has been replaced.... I could hear it weeping..😪

Why do your reels on Facebook say their from sofia martinez? Just wondering

anymore phantom runaways of the tractor?

Can't bate the thursday videos 😀😃😄

Hi Karen would u let know please where u got backing bar for crush thanks❤

the thing is Karen, Try it and see. There is no right way to do something and its always good to experiment

If you went down at least one gear with a bit more revs the topper will cut much better and cut it clean

How many hectares are you farming?

Nice video sub and like 227 👍😁

A 10 foot mover be idle

Does anyone know who’s in the football final this year 😅😅😅

If ya don’t scan the cows Karen ya can order milk pregnancy test of progressive. Once there over 28 days it will tell you if there definitely Incalf. It might help you

Is that mf 390

Your Alias Sofia is flooding tictock recently with your videos are you aware ?

go way out that you aare showing off now with the shades

your dad will be wrong. because women always right. lol

UR Mother Help Out Karen

You are married.

Nice clean job ,that's as good as it gets...oh the joy of pairing suckler cows 🫣..stand well back 😂
