FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING! | MOWING SUNFLOWERS

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Phil. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SteveFilby]

Great video phil, be interesting to know how much of the sunflower you can feed your cattle.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Great stuff again Phil ,Liv and crew

[@2013viewchannel]

yes right probably right in that a a mower with out a conditioner may have been better for cutting the sunflowers. As for the red clover this is my 2nd year with it and have noticed a big improvement. Spotted video last winter of a man in Limerick who always lets it go to seed before the 2nd cut and has been using the same field for a number of years as this allows the clover to re-generate. It has really allowed the new clover to fill in the gaps

[@markryan6578]

When going into the clover Phil, stop on the road beside the gate and when the coast is clear maneuver into the field. No surprises for anyone.

[@robertgraham6053]

Phil in the red clover crop they say your meant to cut very hight like 4 inch to maintain a good crown base and don't rake as this upsets the steemy base 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@garymadden2656]

👌

[@johnsutherland6322]

Best farming video from Phil every week brilliant stuff mate

[@JoshFedderman]

Hi Phil, stay away from the sunflowers, nothing but headaches

[@greggroome2791]

Should have mowed the sunflowers with the finger bar mower phil

[@Tigman401]

Good call

[@bumpkinrocks]

Whole crop header

[@Tigman401]

@@bumpkinrocks Even better!

[@lorengolliher2712]

Sunflowers silage well you just need to use preservative on it we silage them out in Kansas as always enjoy your videos

[@coughlantom4139]

Phil for a guy who have only a lawn to keep harvesting I love seeing the real job being done.. Keep 'er Lit

[@dermotward6540]

Something new, good one Phil 👍💪🏽

[@Frank47900]

When will u be showing the new tractor ye got ?

[@theoracle8560]

What did he get????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Gearoid35]

Good stuff Phil

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Hope u can keep the vermin out of the sunflower bales.

[@seanmcguigan346]

Phil, someone had to make the first pit of silage. The sunflowers will be an excellent education. Either for or against. At least now you know what to expect. Fair play

[@aidanwhite2836]

Farmer Phil Stewart why did set sunflowers in the 1st place

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Sunflower patch for the farm shop

[@wulliewhyte544]

Wouldn't stand behind the cattle after one of those sunflower bales bet Lee was disappointed you didn't chop them he could have used his new buckrake to pit them Wouldn't have taken too long😂 your red clover looks good

[@ianparker3486]

Great video farmer Phil

[@dermotrothwell6078]

The mowing bar and the 35 would have been a rite job for the sun flowers

[@JonDingle]

A maize header on the Jaguar would be better suited because it's a tall stalky crop like maize. Looks like you obliterated the crop through the mower to me. An interesting way of doing it but I doubt you will get a good yield but I could be wrong?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

We didn’t think there’d be enough to justify making a clamp and taking up concrete space

[@farmerslife2612]

Hi farmer Phil that was a great job with your sliage keep up the good work with it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nicklad9463]

Just aswell your not stuck for them bales of sunflowers 😂😂😂. When are we going to see the new tractor you bought?

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Always enjoy your videos fair play to ye now & good luck with everything ahead 👍👍👍

[@martinflaherty5873]

Famer phil that's a very nice sunflowers you have there martinflaherty. ❤❤❤😅

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Phil That will be interesting, how many bales from sunflowers and how they turn out. Beans must be ready for harvesting

[@aaronswanson6719]

It was probably in Kansas where sunflower silage gets used. Lots of sunflowers as well as beef cattle feedlots there.

[@aaronswanson6719]

I know the feeling running across the road like you did to get into the red clover. I live on a busy highway and feel like I risk my life multiple times a day. Stay safe.

[@tristangibbs2351]

To be fair wouldnt go too bad if you could plant it or harvest it along with the maize and mix the sunflowers in with that

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Good video Phil, always enjoy mowing 88K happy out.

[@gearsandtears7643]

Id second the finger bar mower suggestion Bed of the mower was flattening the stalk and the angle of the blade made bits of it all

[@jasondavies4887]

I wonder if uou could cut it with a SP harvester with a maize header.

[@richardmccarthy3769]

Common on the t3 6400 series for those panel brackets to break. Plastic weld only job. Mowed and baled maize like that before as it had to be cleared for a housing development. Cattle loved it

[@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192]

U could rake de sunflowers up to make a bale and see what happens

[@EddiesCrave60x]

Cool

[@matthewryan8169]

Cool video

[@damienely7614]

☝️

[@What..a..shambles]

Pigs go yum yum with docs 😁best thing about the videos is we can go back and see about the clover,what you did and how it went👍🏻

[@padraigcunningham7748]

Can the conditioners be turned off on them mowers, people are wising up to energy or sugar loss due to conditioner mowers

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Yes but I can’t see the crop flowing through the mower with the conditioner turned off

[@padraigcunningham7748]

@FARMERPHIL3690 one to try 😅

[@BrendanWhite-e3y]

You could try a mower without a condition̈er and rake it for baling 😊

[@colmanlong1032]

Can't remember why you grew sunflowers in the first place.

[@KD-ed3dt]

Skip to 10.30 for sunflower content

[@MobileDevices-ku7ls]

What's the point of sunflowers, an acre wasted on 2 bales I think?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Sunflower patch was its main purpose. Making bales is just secondary

[@jasdunlop9907]

Think sunflower silage will be expensive shite no harm in trying something new

[@jimmy75256]

God help your poor baler on those stalks

[@paulyoung8831]

Do you sow WOSR Phil

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

No never have

[@greggroome2791]

🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👌👌💪💪🙏🙏

[@darrenlord5439]

Was wondering wath u do with flowers try tell

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

We used them for a sunflower trail

[@Harry-ll2xm]

Wasted 12 min talking

[@concernedcitizen3163]

Its desiccate, not decimate.

[@JonDingle]

He decimated the sunflowers through that mower! 🤣
