The weather is really good for silage or hay making. Enjoy all of the different shots that you take and your explaining what is happening in your videos.
Great video Gerry. Lovely countryside in your video. Tractors look great and clean ! Enjoyed watching.
The weather has been absolutely smashing this past week or so. Seeing all the silage contractors and all the farmers in the fields has been such a sight. Are you still using the Haybob as a rake or do you have one those larger ones?
It wasn’t till you were showing the picture from the cab that I remembered what a huge blind spot those old girls had! As my poor old father used to say, sure no one died it’s only a bit of metal, guess what he was right! Regards from the hills of Wicklow.
Looking good stuff.. and the 3650 would still be my go to tractor in your fleet if I had the chance of piloting one... you done a dam good job of it... need to hear the exhaust note a bit more though they do sound rather nice... stay safe 🏴
Great spell of weather to go turning hay,you must be really proud of that smashing looking 3650,all time best john deere 😀
I am. 3650 is a peach of a tractor. It’s as good mechanically as it looks in appearance. Great machine
I am in the same county as you and the weather is unreal but that means very dry dusty grass and that dry chaff and hot machinery can end up in a fire we don't see that often normally we get clumpy damp grass 😂
Absolutely love those POV shots of the work.
Very enjoyable video Gerry, you’d never know, you might get a taste for the contracting again sometime.. never say never 😀
To get those green lumps out I would drive at a different angle to what way it was tedded the previous time and I find that works well
Have you ever considered putting an extension on the chute?
Can you get an air compressor for the tractor would be handy to blow stuff down and get rid of the chaff.
Great video Gerry 👍👍
Cracking video as always
Superb video and the equipment is like new.
The oul 36 there was always a lovely grunt to them I remember when I was growing up I used to call them the big Deere and nowadays there seen as a small tractor 😅
Yes I remember the same. They were massive back then. Now a 4 cylinder is bigger 😂
Great video Gerry aye I can smell that grass from here 😜👌
Well done Gerard very enjoyable video 😊
The 3650 looks great. I was travelling in my truck near carnforth uk and in a field at the side of the motorway was 3000 series John Deere with trailed forage harvester..That’s the 3rd trailed forager I’ve seen this week..
Yea the trailer harvesters are still popular. Gives farmers the option to cut their grass when they want. Not relying on contractors to come and let you down. Still great to see
Good video 👍
Nice video a good man to mind machinery
Well it pays off to mind them
Jeepers. Farmer P had a flat tire on his tedder as well😂😂 Have a great one on the hay
Great video gerry, good to see you at the grass, looks a heavy crop of hay. Lucky the jf900 didnt go up in flames. 995 on the square baler?
Great video Gerry. 3650 looks mighty
Yea it looks great at grass. I’ll get the trailer mower on it soon
Air line on the tractor would be the job keep blowing off the danger points on the jf👌
love the vid old chap
nice
Look on the bright side, if the bearings didn't go with 20 acres ahead of you this week they would have gone with 50 acres of your 2nd cut on the ground :)
Great vid Do you do enough baleing to think about a combi baler Gerry?
Good man great video pissed when bit steel went through. That spot less harster joys off contracting no knowing what in rows better invest in metal detector no lad put 6 foot 6 inches thick post through combine end result not good
yeah you've no idea what happens in the fields really
Hi Gerry, is the build up of hay/fire hazard worse when the cover over the smooth roller is on. Most JFs i have seen seem to have this guard removed. Wasn't sure the reason why but maybe that's why ?
Something new next week a bigger rake for Hay??👀
Alright so your done and dusted
That 3650 would turn on a tuppence Gerry.
Yea it would. It’s a super machine
Looking great for hay this week Gerry ive some cut myself. Do you ever use the spreader vanes on the mower??
Yes I do use them. Just Haven’t this year yet. Their a great job for spreading grass out on the ground
@@gerry6420 we've recently bought a mower with spreader vanes so I've mowed the hay out flat for the 1st time. Looks like it will be a great start to drying it out. Haybob on tomorrow 👍👍
@@bkeenan32 yea they save that first run of the Haybob/tedder.
🙏🙏🇨🇮👍👍
Typical Gerry. You lift your silage. (number of acres) and then you lift a very small amount and it all goes wrong. That's life I guess 😊
Nice video Sir......... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are working very hard.........💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward.........🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Done ☑️
Dusted ☑️
Would you upgrade the harvester now that you have a bigger tractor?
I’d love a 1060 but it’d be hard to justify the expense of one. Who knows.
Unfortunately it seldom ends with just upgrading the harvester. 3 trailers on the draw this year keep him lifting continuously so bigger harvester would probably want a 4th... then you start putting the man and loader on the pit under pressure 😂
A drop of rain would do no harm....
at this stage it's wanted alright
Ye should pick up a 6900 series deere harvester
Self propelled….. am I not bad enough 😂😂
@@gerry6420 haha the 3650 would feel very much at home and to be fair there not the worst money at the min be a nice upgrade from the jf
Why do you power wash machinery just before bringing it out to work would you no clean them after your finished using them? Or is there any specific reason
Saves the bearings if you wash them before use. The water can lie in them over winter and not do it any good
Great video Gerry 👍 good to see you getting the hay crop in good order👍 was gonna say the grass you were chopping when you were contracting 🙄 looked a bit on the dry side for silage🤔 glad you didn't suffer any serious damage 💪👍
Soo contracting 2024 then??🤪🤣. Just dropped 5 acres or so on Friday and still another 36 or so to go 🤞
No definitely not in 2024 😂
@@gerry6420 🤣 don’t blame you. Everyone round here seems to be having mower problems🤦♂️
Jerry where u get the phone holder the ram thnks?
Amazon I think few years back. not cheep
Well at least you can laugh at it Gerry. You've got a practise run under your belt now so you'll know what to expect in the 2024 contracting season 😁👍🏼
Great weather to save Hay ☀️👌🏼
Yea I know what to expect alright 😂😂
Is this Irleand or Uk?
Ireland
@@gerry6420 the countryside is so beautiful, you are blesed to have a farm in such a beautiful area
too bad you don't have the 6420 anymore
Yes but I’ve the 6R. On wards and upwards 🙂👍
Can’t contract without a self propelled
You can on a budget. 😅
cousin did for years and got on grand only have self propelled 5 or 6 years
You can & unlike the big boys, you might have some money in the bank at the end of the year.
The old Haybob done a far better job those tetters are a waste of money
They don’t. I’ve both. The tedder won’t ball up the grass like Haybob will. The hook times on tedder will pull lumps start. Tedder far better job
Who made the tether ?
