Crikey your vids are awesome, better than many on You Tube. You definitely should do more as you explain things well gave an interesting system but you also seem to enjoy it? No need for long videos 10 mins once a week maybe? JCB is gorgeous!

Fascinating watch. A very similar system to what we do here in New Zealand. Cows look similar too.

[@Cotlandfarmer]

Yes very similar to the New Zealand system, I've used only New Zealand bulls for the last seven years.

[@tommawle8896]

We’re building a compost bedded barn for wintering cows and for feeding supplements over here. Winters are becoming so wet of late and feeding out in the paddocks is too wasteful with such a high cost to silage. Seems like we’re heading slightly back towards what we used to do in Britain, housing cows! Some sort of hybrid system is where it seems to be heading to avoid environmental impacts in the winter but not loose sight of grass and grass management being the key driver to lowering feed costs. Kiwi cross cows seem to be a good fit for this system and efficient producers for the milk powder market. Keep the videos coming, loving seeing how it’s done back home!

I bet you miss that jcb TM 310s

[@Cotlandfarmer]

In all honesty I'm not missing it yet.....but maybe when the time comes to change next time we may look at a pivot steer machine.👍

Any person who knows about new Holland knows that if you take the head off at around 8k hours they shouldn’t drop valves

[@Cotlandfarmer]

I've never heard that before but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you👍
