Hi Karen, great video and all your stock are looking really well !! The 135 and 390 are looking really tidy !! The topping make a big transformation !! Looking good 👌🏻👍🏻

[@TobyHolben]

Thanks for the tag along! Those cows and calves are looking prime 👌

[@TheStuport]

Love Miss Norma's Sassy Attitude! It's always been so much fun when you get to interact with your cows on film and we get to see their personalities come alive on stage! My Bulldog does the same when I bring out my phone to film him when he is at the Park....I firmly believe our Animals KNOW exactly when it's "Lights...Camera...Action" which usually turns into hilarity! Your work ethic is awesome Karen and not lost on your Fan Base as noted in the comments! Cheers From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋

Norma , Norma nauty norma . Farmer p went overvhis grass too . Some so so some good . You had a wet spting .I know some started to get rusty looking like rot . Love watching you use the trackter . Keep learning great skills Thankyou for the vidio .

[@darrenmccarville5105]

Karen great videos. Small tipp for your topping. Top like a contractor mows. 5 laps of the headland and do you corners square by stopping and turning. Then do you sets/sections losing when turning. You won't have those rips and no misses. Keep it up.

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

I know but I'm so lazy I hate having to stop and turn 🤣

[@darrenmccarville5105]

Last point, if you notice it looks like it's not cutting clean, run an angle grinder on the blade and shine up the edge it makes a difference. I usually do it once a year provided I don't hit rocks.

[@1ADP]

Hi made all the difference moving the tine up to from a triangle hopefully you will find a loader and grab soon for your super smart 390 sounds a treat also.

[@leighwade6232]

Looking Gorgeous Karen ❤❤ Cattle are looking Beautiful, love the grass , have a rest sending love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrMike353]

No bother to you Karen, practice makes perfect and it all adds up to excellent viewing. When the bale got to them they didn't give a hoot if it was kicked down the field to them. See the smiley heads on them as they munch it down. The 135 would have struggled a bit with the second bale, even the 390 was looking light on the front. keep up the good work.

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Karen, it was just a bad bale 😀. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼

U could do with a hydraulic toplink for the 390

Hi Karen that was a lovely video of your cattle and yourself to

Karen if it's grass you want I got a tidy lawn & I need your topper to keep it in order...lol. You are a mighty operator, running a farm & a fulltime job. Keep 'er Lit

[@michaelscott7128]

Karen a hydraulic top link is a great Job, a wee bit expensive around 200 to 300 but you will wonder how you did without it. Makes lifting a bale way easier as you can tilt the lifter, plus it is quicker for attaching stuff.

[@ThomasMcWeeney-fh3uz]

Hallo Karen another great video you had a problem lifting the bale of silage if you shorten the toplink a bit it will the bale higher or go for a hydraulic one they are very good

[@philgardener7018]

good to see more 390 action. Having 2 tractors should make life easier as you will have less swapping implements

[@jimgardner9044]

Hi Karen, I was looking at the 390. My question is, are there multiple hole's for the top link to go in on the "tractor end"? If so, try putting it lower down. It changes the geometry and it should make it easier to pick up the bales. The way it looks now the spikes are cocked up when it's on the ground and point down when it's lifted up. Cheers Jim in NZ.

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

I have it in the middle now but think I'll lower it again and see if it improves it any bit

[@stuartrobertson4714]

Go in the back oh them with a topper use old Long matchbox side ways for sheep up and down for cattle old school

[@Kermit306TCI]

Try placing the top link on the tractor side in the middle or bottom hole. This will cause your implement to tilt upwards more from the rear

[@johnmitchell5571]

Karen, you are a great farmer, stock very healthy looking, what part of Kerry?

[@RBird730]

I got interested in Farming by a strange route my dad was born and bred on a farmer as my Grandfather was a farmer in Berkshire in the days of the Horse and when I got near to retirement took on two ten rods allotment plots but with disability several years on had give up and then the thing that really got me going was a computer game Farming Simulator and my need to know what real farming was about in the modern day with the Funky Farmer and Farmer P on seeing this video which impressed me greatly and now Subscribed to I am sure I have a lot of catching up to do checking out all your previous videos.🧐

Hi Karen, well done on another great video. I'd say the bale is definitely to blame.. looks wet with no body to it so yes I'd blame the bale 😁

Get a hydraulic top link- then tilt bale with that . Works really well

You're doing a fine job, don't worry about it.

[@kerrysupporter]

[@glenndarby444]

Hi Karen- if u put the toplink in the bottom hole on the tractor( I think theres 3 ) the bale lifter will lift higher and tilt back towards tractor better

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

I put it on the second one because I read in the manual (because I'm a nerd) that the 3rd is only for lighter loads I think

[@glenndarby444]

@@karenmoynihanfarm that block is all one piece with the 3 holes so it’s the same load on all 3- try it on the lower hole and see what you think

A hydraulic top link isn’t needed. Instead of shunting forwards and backwards (falling out with the gearbox) when it gets tight to turn, just do a loop turn.

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Amazing how Teagasc and Farmers Journal have convinced grazing farmers that three leaf grass is the best. Is grass the only thing grown on farms that is fed out snd indeed cut too at such immaturity. How can it be wholesome. The cattle will put their noses into the but anyway but will also get stemmage and seedheads. Farmers point to weightgsin and milk yield but most supplement with cornglakes. There's a bigger picture.

[@XtreamSheep]

I’m sure farmers have been convinced themselves by the results, doesn’t take an expert to figure out that eating grass at the right cover or cutting before it goes to seed is better for dmd, protein and sugars. The scales and milk yield are clear. So whether farming intensive or extensive practicing better grazing management will reduce your need for rations. Grass is a cheap resource we grow in excess in this country. Have a look at farm theory for example who cuts silage at an early stage and has saved himself over 80,000 pounds from his meal bill last year

[@michaeloconnor9809]

These rations from calf crunch up and are almost obligatory, are they cut and harvested at the three leaf stage. How can immature grasses be the full and best profile and density of nutrition and natural medications. Where are the minerals and trace elements coming from. Also grains fed to herbivore ruminants is false feed and reduces the ph of the rumen. Fed too much the animal will die from acidosis. How is that best practice when the food becomes a killer. Then ask yourself what is in the meat and milk from these animsls. Why is beef fat white today when it used to be bright yellow and any implications for milk.Farmers are blinded by output and little else to the extremely unnatural reality that most Irish farmers are fed from the supermarkets making the enemy stronger at their own expense.

[@damien3278]
