What a video I love the way you brought in the old school I have stared mowing and I am lifting tommorw keep up the good work love the farm you work on lad
Mighty stuff Ger!!! The 28 is some bus.! Looks like the most part a 2 of them Herrons to the acre with that crop !! Stay cool boss..!! 5.9k in the Gerry Possy whoop whoop!!!!!!
gerry6420 Thanks for the reply,,, i drove a 3130 2wd with a taarup mower back in the early 80’s for nearly 10 years,, then in 1989 the contractor i worked for bought a brand new 3050 4WD what a machine 👍
Those single rotor rakes are great but the wrong driver can leave the rows very lumpy.We have a JF single rotor,put 2 ten foot rows into one and lift with a JF 1050 on a MF6490.Can pick up about 4 acres + an hour when things go right but in very heavy reseeded first cuts better to lift the single row
Jf 900 wouldn’t have just as big out put at the 1050. But our row are 8ft and should lift a 16 ft row. Lifted them before. We have 1 new reseed might just row head lands on it. It’s fair heavy crop.
Would it have been better getting a trailed mower with a swather/grouper for the 6420 instead of using a 1 rotor rake later on? Unless you want it to dry out a bit first.
That is the plan to sell our older mower and buy 8ft trailed with grouper. Getting a taarup 8ft trailed might not be that simple. We be looking one in very good condition
Would you not be tempted to upgrade the harvester to a 1050 Gerry? 🙄 I know of a man who ran an 1100 with a 6930 premium with no chip or remap. And she could lift at some pace
AgriFan yea it’d handle 20 ft rows and speed job up. To be honest if I up my acres I’d upgrade to a 1050 or 1055. We get a good price for our 900 it’s in such good nick so wouldn’t cost that much to change. I’d also consider a wagon.

GoFish she’s a busy tractor at the minute. 😂 yes lifting Monday so we see then but look a good crop. 6k now.... flying up.
summer for me is the smell of hay at night , the sound of a small baler and a forage harvester in the distance ..
Great vid looks like it mows well hope the weather loads for you a little rainy here in Cornwall anyway thanks for the video cheers Antony
Antony farming glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully weather holds up 🤞🤞

Yeah it sounds like a good plan. I suppose if no good one was around a wanted ad on donedeal could help
The 2850 knows it’s there
Patrick Mcmanus she knows in this field.... was very heavy crop and had to drop it down a gear.
Lol we could only do 4 small fields this morning
Defender Gaming once you get it done that’s the main thing 👌
Cutting on 1st and lifting on 3rd and 4th. Can l ask why ye are leaving it down so long?
Just the way it worked out on at the weekend. We usually lift on day 2/3 but our drivers weren’t available until Monday and Tuesday.
Fair play Gerry. Lovely team there. Will ye pick up out of those rows? Notice ye not using spreading vanes.
Bambinohead1 no didn’t use them . Grass is nice and dry so didn’t see the need. Be using them for the hay mowing. Save a trip with the Turner

All im saying is dont consider a wagon unless your fields are close to the pit.Thats the only time when theyre useful
wagon good if labour is hard to find ....2 men can work away ....nothing worse than waiting for a fellow to turn up
We won't be cutting for another while
tek bros plenty of time. I won’t be cutting our round bales for while yet either
Did hay last night
Robert Sloan nice to get hay done and dusted early
Just fineshed drawing bales
Karl Morgan good job.... nice to get finished
Mowing Saturday morning 30acers
Why don't you use a front mover
Have no from linkage but I’d like one. Speed the job up.
