Held together by rope, the Lely rake is on the back of the 5711M

In this video we put the rake on the 5711M. Should not be a problem for a brand new tractor to drive the old rake. However the problem is that the rake needs allot of maintenance before we can let it near grass.

Great video Cathal only for that green tractor 🚜 appearing 😂, great drone footage, the old rake is shook.

Thanks Gearoid. Not a fan of the green then? LOL

That idea with the string on the rower brilliant

Cheers William, keeps the tines out of the grass.👍

Hi Cathal. Great to see the lely in action. I had heard mixed reviews on them. Looks to have made a nice row for the baler which is the first part of a good bale. Great drone footage too. Well done to your "bro" 😂👏

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Eamon. Does a decent job when set right. Yes can throw the tine holders off which is a weakness with this rake, but apart from that its a good job. 👍

[@eamondempsey3018]

@@FlyingFergyMan That's what you want, a nice simple machine that does a good job 👍

Good video Cathal looks like the rake done a tidy job

Great video excellent drone footage any chance you could send us poor folk in co down some of that nice weather 🙂

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Paul. has not really stopped raining since that little spell of good weather.🤦‍♂️

Brilliant video Cathal that’s some scenery there. The old rake done a good job..

Thanks Carlos.😎

We used to use a Lela rotunde. Great bit of kit and did thousands of acres. Still got it in the nettles. Absolutely worn out though. Ram was bent, frame cracked through and rings with the tines on worn through. Shame they don’t make them anymore, would by a new one in a heartbeat.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Ours is getting a bit shook but for all we do it does a great job.👍👍

[@stephennesbitt8337]

Nice to see a bit of good weather up where you are, great video as always 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Stephen.😎

[@bobpaterson1845]

We tied the tines on not for sake of the baler really but the precision chop forage harvester 🤔 nice to see you using goggles with the grinder 🙄 is that to stop the lumps of metal that get past the blade guard on the grinder 🙄😳🤣 one thing good to see is a tractor driver with a loader carrying the loader down low during field work 👌 seen to many near misses with drivers doing field work with loader up in the air 😬 hope weather holds for you get your silage baled 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Bob, you would only carry the loader up once on our land, if the trees dont get you the slope will!!!🤦‍♂️. Mid week video is baling.👍👍

Super stuff Cathal. All i want to know is.. How difficult was it for you to have that John Deere in your video?? 😂

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Nearly killed me, not sure how it got past editing lol.😁🤣

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@FlyingFergyMan 🤣🤣 I was surprised you didn't photoshop it red .

[@stephenkelly2067]

Hows about getting a demo other brand like nh or deere or case equivalent to 5711 and doing honest comparison

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Might do something later in the year. For now Im comparing a new Massey to the old ones. Would be interesting to see other brands.

​@FlyingFergyMan great video was just a suggestion
