CONTROLLING THE WEEDS AND LONG/SHORT GRASS MANAGEMENT

Busy at work with the John Deere X750 ride on mower, managing the short and long grass.

[@joshuavanrenterghem251]

Thanks for the vlog kind of videos!! Please don’t stop making them!

[@olliechambers9218]

it makes life much easier when mowing around trees if you have a spinner knob on steering wheel

[@farmingnewzealand4640]

It’s looking much better. Your awesome at gardening 👍

[@alexanderruse2599]

To control the weeds, you must become one with the weeds

[@alphacentaurianperson]

British be like "hasn't rained in two weeks, nearly a drought!" Australians be like "hasn't rained in two months, starting to get a tad dry now."

[@Daggerwin]

haha

[@guswhite220]

Daggerwin are you going to mow all this and move all those Bricks and barrels with a compact tractor.

[@blazeitmichael5094]

I like how you can make a video of something people do everyday.

[@wildgamer1221]

Great vid bro

[@ranwolfFARM]

Love the John Deere. Great work done. Thank you.

[@adamscott1294]

did you get the JD from Winchester because of the Winchester garden machinery sticker on it

[@ontow]

Scag walk behinds are the way to go imo. I’ve got an ‘04 SWZ and it goes like stonk, I’m sure I’ve blasted saplings into pulp with it before (they were dead prior (and after))

[@bunnywarren]

Does the mower deck have a side discharge because if that's blocked up then it wouldn't be able to clear the grass fast enough? You would be flattening it rather than cutting during the taller sections. At the beginning it looks like it may be blocked.

[@thijsv.dwoude1019]

That's jd is very nice 😍, i've got a Husqvarna ts238 but that's a smaller one.

[@jman490101]

Thijs v.d Woude I agree. A few of my neighbors have JD's. Ya they are really nice but I like my Husqvarna GT48XLSI.

[@domskinner]

There’s nothing wrong with the mower, it’s just the length of the grass you are cutting. Rotary decks don’t really like cutting long grass, the grass tends to fold over and pass under the blades then pops back up the other side. You’ll also have the same issue where the tyres flatten the grass.

[@nzlandrew]

Good chance the leaf loss is stress related due the lack of moisture if you have had it really dry and next spring they will bud again.

[@toxrozzx8158]

The worst thing when cutting long grass is hidden objects!!! Great video BTW ;)

[@conorlennon1135]

Hey man! I'm jealous of how much land you have, it's beautiful, lots of potential! Quick question though, is it rented or did your purchase it?

[@georgerea1934]

In 2014 I cut 20 acres on a weekend with a smaller mower than that and it missed quite a bit

[@fredrikahlin6128]

You should mow the grass with a scythe or a sicklebar mower and pick it up in some way, Because when you are leaving all the grass, you are giving back the nutrients to the grass which will make the grass growing more.

[@Daggerwin]

That's a fair point, although it's probably easier just to keep cutting it than moving and storing the cut grass. Like your thinking though

[@bunnywarren]

Leaving the grass behind should help reduce the evaporation by giving a covering to the bare ground. I'd say leaving it would be better, at least initially until the trees have put down a decent tap root.

[@mrzamorak1]

Sickle mowers are very dangerous though

[@niallgladerbob480]

I have the same phone case as you daggerwin 🙂🙂 just wanna get that out there 😂😂👌

[@weddingwheelsltd9596]

great vid

[@noelcahill6707]

Also check is it mulch blades on that deck if they are put normal cut blades and it will cut better iv the same john deere

[@georgecox4510]

You should get fence off the trees and get some sheep to keep the grass down

[@mikiekearney1771]

You should get a slurry tanker and fill it with water and spray it all over them

[@henkofzo118]

you should get some proper tractor tires for the massey ferguson👍🏻

[@ryanmcdaid5644]

The silver birch will come back after a while. I thought some of mine died but they came back fine this year

[@conortobin1068]

You could strim the long grass and if you want to you could mulsh it with the jondeear

[@Lukksia]

i am only 10 years old and i have my own lawn mower, and i bought a plow at an auction its supposed to be used on a compact tractor but i modified it with a homemade 3 point linkage, i have a couple videos on my youtube channel of how it works. by the way, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@Lukksia]

I have some videos on my youtube channel of it, feel free to check it out

[@NURTXXN]

DMAN PX you lie

[@iowansirenrecordings2454]

I'd love to do this, I have always loved mowing, and seeing a huge field full of long grass make me twitch so much, knowing I can't mow it 🙁

[@farmingyear3972]

Hi nice video good work

[@carnoraptor7643]

Life finds a way

[@boerbrabant]

How is your hedge doing? And krikey hit the new blades with a brick is never fun but after the first time you can deal with it😉

[@noelcahill6707]

U can put a 48 inch rear discharge deck on that mower it would be better for wat u need

[@mrfrost3]

You are amazing keep up the good work by the way do you live in Lincolnshire

[@colinblackwell5059]

daggerwinn did you have thunderstorms your way this moring and afternoon and tomoz moring getting more thunderstorms and thursday but friday we ant getting any i hope we dont get no more thunderstorms on friday cos i got loads of cutting to do outside

[@evana1900]

I reckon removing the mulching kit would help the clumping and having to go over twice. The grass is to long to be mulched.

[@billb2079]

Three blade JD's have that issue when cutting off 3 inches or more in my experience

[@tomthumb4503]

Are you getting a flail mower or hedge cutter

[@theolardides9744]

When are you using the harrow

[@brucegard]

hi dude just been watching a few videos and i dont no if you have a idea for doing this but just want to ask if if you do but why dont you build a house or a log cabin and a workshop for you tractors it whod make a really nice place for it as i seen you have to drive to get to your field so if you lived there you whod be able to have a aplace that you can work on everyday and just be you self just a idea and dont mean to be rude asking this

[@rajdeepmodhawadiya9372]

Yo need crone big 😂😂😂😂😂

[@yo2748]

It's krone

[@rhysdavies8813]

Why not use the compact tractor with a finishing mower

[@Daggerwin]

Too tight going between trees

[@Joey-ve7ku]

Daggerwin we have a mf 250 and finishing mower for our orchard

[@jackg7738]

Are you a shooting person out of curiosity?

[@mattwragg6966]

do you still have your massy ferguson 1220

[@charliesrcs6214]

just out of curiosity because of loading the mower is it a transit?

[@DavidBrownFan]

Some mower sir!

[@Charlie-ky4sc]

What do u use to transport ur compacts

[@dinand7739]

daggerwin can you plz plz get and buy a vervaet in fs17 (its a selfpropelled sprayer)

[@agrifarmingireland1604]

Sorry but would u mind telling me what you work at to make a living I cant understand how the jobs you show make you money

[@LunarLithos]

Agri farming Ireland his KZbin channel makes lots of views views = money

[@lfw6392]

Hi dagger

[@bradleykirk3206]

Dagger when are you making a blummin model farm video you said every week but you haven't please start again

[@Daggerwin]

As mentioned a few times, it will be returning in the Autumn/Winter 2018

[@bradleykirk3206]

Daggerwin awww I really miss them vids

[@bradleykirk3206]

Daggerwin you should go down to a fans farm like my grandads but I suppose no one would want to see it on camera

[@jo3day]

Was that a custom thumbnail?

[@Daggerwin]

No lol

[@jo3day]

Daggerwin lol great vid any way and could you send me a list of all the fonts you use in your thumbnails plz

[@carsonator023]

What cars do you have

[@dargaming379]

Is the mower diesel?

[@Daggerwin]

Yes

[@charliesrcs6214]

what car do you drive

[@animationwizard8374]

Charlie farmer boy he said in one of his LIVE streams but I forgot what car he Said

[@paul_555]

If you own this field you could maybe rent it to a local farmer for silage for a bit of side cash

[@angus1682]

Paul too many trees really for a larger tractor

[@JasonI-vl7vu]

3:06, can the mower give more revs so the blades spin faster?

[@DaggerwinExtra]

That is flat out

[@JasonI-vl7vu]

ah right, interesting one, i think it could be the roller on the front pushing it down to much

[@DaggerwinExtra]

I will be taking a closer look at it when I get a spare hour

[@JasonI-vl7vu]

when ever there is time hahaha

[@toxrozzx8158]

Dagger for that high grass, u would need a flail mower and then go back with normal cutting deck. To get a good result.

[@colin4289]

how fast will the john deere go

[@DaggerwinExtra]

8mph

[@colin4289]

Thats not to bad considering its a lawnmower

[@SshiggyY]

Daggerwin Extra - Ahh no no no stick V8 on the back 😉

[@jakesolt3853]

The top speed is 8.5 which is not much of an improvement from our GX 345 from 2004 and it will do 7. Now that I think about it, 1.5 is not too bad of an improvement. Could be faster though for 10 or so years since our tractor was being manufactured.

[@andrewdrummond1870]

is the field your's

[@animationwizard8374]

James Drummond it's his own land I think

[@beanie3526]

James Drummond *yours*

[@conorlennon1135]

Yeah he purchased the land to make a nature reserve. The video isn't too far back where he explains it. Look for pots in a thumbnail, that's the video.

[@ShatteredRoxanne]

U should buy a jd 2032r mower

[@aidanmartin1140]

How much land do you own

[@mrfrost3]

When the Christmas trees grow will you sell them

[@simonsonhomer6985]

Does the tractor have a cluth?

[@jackjennings6482]

Simonson Homer no lawn mower tractors don’t

[@matthewfenton9860]

Jack Jennings yes they do

[@thecosmicguy21]

OMG they made farming simulator 17 into real life...

[@mrfrost3]

How tall are you dggerwin if you don't mind me asking

[@farmerdan1213]

A lot of radish

[@fiatagrifan961]

Yourl have to get a few bullocks and let them off but that means fencing it

[@northernarctic8339]

Just curious, how old are you? Cause you look and sound young but have all this machinery and land!

[@americaproud9344]

Northern_ Arctic he's in his late twenties

[@motz3118]

He is about 23

[@cruzp269]

What do you mean all this machinery? He only got that and a couple compact tractors

[@northernarctic8339]

Cruz P I know but he restores them and bought his other tractor new.

[@viljarlunderd4514]

He have patreons

[@christianpedersen1489]

Are you educated with something about trees or wild life, cause you seem to know a great deal about it

[@lfw6392]

Bumpy dagger

[@DaggerwinExtra]

Very

[@lfw6392]

Lol

[@Kassu1]

I subscribe

[@themintlord4744]

A zero turn mower would be best for going around the trees

[@bencurtis7530]

FishingCrafter or a strimmer

[@jman490101]

FishingCrafter that's true but you can't do any thing else with it. I have no problem going around trees with my GT48xlsi Husky. I'm not into John Deer.

[@themintlord4744]

False. It can be used for mowing just like a normal mower. I cut a field with one once.

[@jman490101]

FishingCrafter that's why it's called a zero turn mower! But you can't pull anything behind it, use a snow blower or any other attachment.

[@themintlord4744]

Jason Santora some can pull trailers. Also most non zero turn lawn mowers can't do that kind of stuff either

[@guswhite220]

Daggerwin do you have a pet

[@noahfallon5679]

Hi Daggerwin

[@basiunity6763]

Shoutout

[@mrfrost3]

You should get I nitro rc car that would be amazing

[@Simgamer.U.K]

Think it’s because grass is too thick for the mower is the grass wet or damp that be why it’s leaving long strays of grass just a theory don’t listen to what I say lol

[@cobybudge4373]

turn it off when your off some ware

[@jman490101]

A husqvarna GT tractor could get around a lot better.

[@rossredmond3135]

Youve little to be at
