    Hi Gerry,
    Lovely job done, good crop and great video as always. I mowed my own silage today Saturday evening for bailing first thing on Monday morning. You are 100% correct about the moisture in the grass. Yours looks to be bang on. Mine has the fertilizer on it just the 7 weeks. Very stoney light land here in Corofin in Galway where we are and it Burns up in that intense heat of the past few weeks and just has to be mowed. But I think it's fine though. Look forward to seeing the JF in action.😎

    Will this be the first time you are picking up double rows from the grouper in a first cut? If so it will be very interesting to see how the jf handles it, if I remember correctly you had issues picking up after the single wheel rake grouped them. Looks a lovely crop, just as well you didn't drop it to wilt any longer with it mowing so dry.

When it works it’s super but when it doesn’t you can lose 30 minutes messing with it that you don’t have. Ya need a drone with a good follow mode. That will video you and keep you in shot it self.

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  4 роки тому

    • @Del-xr9nx
      @Del-xr9nx 4 роки тому

      gerry6420 thanks Gerry, it looks like good silage. It’s getting very scientific nowadays from what I’m reading. You must get all your p and k from the slurry then. I put 2,000 gallons slurry and 1 and half bags cutsward in last week in March and cut it 12th May. I believe too much N has a negative impact on the roots. I don’t mind a bit less bulk to protect the roots. The wilting seems to be crucial now... everyday is a school day.

      A lot of people leave the back stroke until last, I was always told if you are going to damage the mower on a stone or similar that got knocked out from the hedge row (usually by cattle) it's better to do it on the last round not the first. ☺
