2nd cut 2021 - Mowing Raking Lifting

My notion of doing our own silage is kind of coming together now 😅
Usually our neighbour would cut for us with his Kverneland 4032 (10ft trailed with conditioner) but because the crop was light I thought the JF would handle a 13 or 14ft row. So just after rebuilding the bed of our Morra 7ft disc mower (with lots of help from a local mechanic), I used that mower to cut instead.
Then you can see the rotonde raking up. I only bought that in 2021 so it was on its first season with me here in this video. I bought that because we don't have a conditioner mower to leave rows for the JF and I also knew I'd be looking to buy a round baler the following year so that ruled out a single rotor rake. The rotonde can leave wide rows for the baler and narrow rows for the JF or square baler so it just suits me perfect. It's so much simpler mechanically than a normal cam rake too so I like that about it as well.
The rest of the video is just the harvester, I've explained all about that before in a description of a different video. It was going very well on the day of this video.
Our Zetor was drawing as well as a neighbour's Massey on a new second hand trailer I just bought. That was it's first day out in this video. It went very well as well. Takes a lot of grass compared to our previous trailers.
I could watch these headcam vids all day long especially with the foraging mint vid as always👍
I was beginning to think it was just me who liked them 😅 Thanks 👍
@@WayneMescal No i prefer them over any other way aha was ur neck s bit stiff after that day lol
@@craighenderson4135 Na the neck isn't too bad, I'm still fairly young so don't get too many aches and pains.
@@WayneMescal ah so am i but when i spent a while on a small baler my neck was a bit stiff lol
@@craighenderson4135 yeah some jobs are worse than others, anything with a pickup reel usually takes a lot of watching I find
Really nice to see a 7810 doing proper work, the main shaft has rounded at the back of the flywheel on our one so it’ll have to be split next 🤦♂️ also what did ye have on the pit, fine gear btw
Thanks. Yeah that was a common problem alright with them. A lot of people ground the shaft down and put a 3/4 drive socket in there and it usually does a good job so I hear. The Renault goes on the pit with a 5 foot wide set of forks on the loader. We got an ex60-2 hitachi there last year as well which went up on the pit as well once or twice. Will try to modify the forks onto the digger this year. I'll try to get a second push off buckrake for the Renault to hand up the grass to the digger when the pit gets tall this year. I'll try to get five minutes off the harvester this year and video that or get someone else to video it for me.
@@WayneMescal ye have a fair fleet of gear now, I’d love an excavator alright, from reading the other comments and description I couldn’t figure weather you have bought a baler or you are going to? If you are will you be baling some of the silage then once the out is full or something
@@ORiordan124 yeah there's a baler and wrapper there now but I'll still chop our own first cut with the JF. The baler will be for going out on hire mainly but I'll use it to do our own second cut and our haylage/hay as well.
@@WayneMescal fairplay what baler have you got and have you work lined up or will you play it by ear
@@ORiordan124 thanks, yeah tis a massey 3130. I've some work lined up but I hope to get some new work as well. I'm not going working for someone else this year, going focusing on trying to get my own outfit going.
Is that in Clare?
Yeah there near Doonbeg
Grest little outfit im just back from thr funeral it was sad but we all have a certain timr on thiz plannet is thid your own silage or for contractor the fella who used to put our pit before we moved to bakes had a case mx120 on it 1999 was the last year
Yeah this is our own stuff. I only ever got one hire job with the JF after a fella broke 3 double chop taarups in 3 days and there was rain on the way. Case mx120. Great tractor.
Good job he broke the flywheel tree times it took a week to lift it
Will you go out this season as well with thr baler will you try some naration in the vids
@@eddiethornton1859 Yeah JF's are pretty reliable if you set them up right and maintain them properly.
No, I won't start talking on my videos. There's enough of eejits already doing that. Anyone who doesn't speak english won't understand either.
Your right i did a day lifthing on one i got 50 acres on a tn 190 and a tm155 carting i was on my elements she was set sweat singing along
