D.J McKay & Son's New John Deere 9800i

We took a visit out to see D.J McKay & Son in action with their new 9800i complete with the new 30R header. Donkey gets James’ thoughts on the new machine and also a change of trailer in the fleet as well as other new additions to the business!

GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to KZbin. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

In fairness to Deere those big choppers were never designed to pick up lumpy grass swaths in Ireland. 40 ton corn in California or wheat behind a windrower but not grass. Nice to see they're getting round to having it work in more markets.
