Great Video, nice tractor, thanks for sharing

[@richardcole6674]

I love your videos thay inspire me to make me and my brothers farm like yours

[@jackjenkins2968]

Can’t get over the speed that your hedge cutting at 😂

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video Andy 👍 regardin ur comments about the topper drive line bein next to the hedge side,when u had the camera on the side of the topper it looked like u cud hitch the topper from either side, problem solved👍👍 cereal crops lookin really good but tramlines still a way to go 🤔👍👍👍

[@richl9825]

Bob Paterson that's exactly what I thought.

[@roberthiggins6401]

The other linkage is for hitching to the back of the tractor otherwise the machine would run backwards.

[@trailertenten]

Super informative, interesting to hear the real tales of the black grass battles... we have none here (yet) and don't do any spring drilling, plough every 4th year but otherwise min-til...sandy soil down here so was interested to hear you mention spring drilling beans so counter the black grass, I shall bear that in mind seeing as we sell all our standing straw and have various dirty balers coming and going so the likely-hood of black grass is high... Incidentally and based on your previous recommendations - we've just bought a Spearhead trimmer... Cheers Leroy.

Good video has always, I reckon your new tractor is a new Deere because you do like your green machines ,second choice Will be a fendt 🤔😎

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Steve Newman 😉

[@massey35x70]

your good with that flail

[@casto-]

Bad man running round beating the country side up with your hedge cutter 😂 good job the old lass didn't catch you with her stick 😂😂😂. Looking forward to seeing how your harvest goes, it all starting to turn up here. The osr is about ready to harvest now

[@matthewdowd4686]

Such beautiful country and a perfect day to be out! Where abouts are you? I know U.K. but can’t tell where.

[@lukenicholl7746]

At the bottom of our lane there is a main road with a bend in it, every year when spring comes the grass/weeds grow like crazy and it’s really dangerous because we can’t see so we have to claw the council about 10 times to try and get them to cut it

[@colmkennedy3109]

Great video Andy 👍🏻

[@bazb1748]

Have you got 3 farms? 2 arable and 1 livestock? Be interesting to see the cattle side of things if so

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Baz B That’s correct, I don’t really get involved with the cows hence you don’t see much of them but I will try get more footage of them in future 👍

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video andy, you got new tyres on the tractor? Just plough the black grass in that a get rid of it. Pity you didn't have camera on when the old biddy waved her stick at you. The running gear always on the left same as a combine header.

[@iainnorris3929]

Just wondering, looks like your topper can be front or rear mounted??, to top verges without running the gearbox in the hedge, could you not just turn deck around??

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Iain Norris Nice idea but the topper would be running backwards if I turned it around 👍

[@afq8112]

Great video hope I've not missed the info already but what's the specs of your farm's ie. Acreage, machinery or cow numbers just to give us perspective, cheers!

[@Cruisingthroughitall]

It probably would be an idea to test removing the clay part of that field from rotation so it doesn't spread and you can control it?

[@harrydenton7174]

Where did you get your bonnet guard from for hedge cutting? Cheers in advance

[@jamesh808]

Good video and work. One thing re Hedgecutting - Isn't there a ban on hedge trimming until Sept 1st, affecting sfp. Not implying that means a great deal, but would be lucky to get away with it here

[@olliemarshall6509]

U can get away with it for road hedges cuz of safety

[@jamesh808]

Ah grand, makes fair sense

[@Bertimacchineagricolespa]

nice video 😍

[@joshuainglisphotogtaphy]

Just wondering why your not growing OSR this year

[@charlieshwan5574]

Can you get longer hedge cutters so you can do it in one pass?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Charlie Shwan Yes

[@darrenlord8459]

great job at explaining

[@Chieftain7530]

The 5100M would be a nice tractor if it didn't have such a clunky transmission, that's why the 5100R is the better choice despite the cost IMO.

[@R2Deadpan]

Good one mate , I don’t know if I’m just being stupid or not but weren’t you getting a new tractor a few weeks ago ?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

Max Macconnell Cheers! Yes they are built to spec and they are building it soon. I won’t get it till end of September. 👍

[@R2Deadpan]

It's a farming life for me! Ahh I see , thank you

[@davie2606]

Does Roundup not kill off black grass?

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

David E Yes we spray the seed beds with roundup before we plant the crops so it kills any black grass that had already started growing. 👍

[@Gustav4]

No-Till is the best way to get rid of grass weeds. Long term

[@nenadpopovic8034]

Helo from Serbija!

Brunonator Thanks! End September, it’s not built yet. 👍

First

[@colliedogs4586]

Why don’t you mow and bale your margins we do and it seems like a waste just topping them

[@Itsafarminglifeforme]

CollieDogs 458 Good idea and we have talked about it before but the Tedder and rake are too wide for the grass margins. 👍

[@colliedogs4586]

It's a farming life for me! Fair enough we tend not to have to shake them out with them being stalkier dryer more course grass. However this year we mowed and got thundershowers over night so we wuffled them and they have made some lovely haylage
