R.j. farming thanks. Yea it’s nice to see the 2850 out working at grass. Hope u get on well at your own today

[@joeyt5643]

great memories of doing the same job with a 2850

[@anthony342]

summer for me is the smell of hay at night , the sound of a small baler and a forage harvester in the distance ..

[@stephen5141]

we were lucky got the meadows sown early and got cutting just over a week ago nice stuff. hopefully the showers miss yous good stage of cutting 🌱👍

[@gerry6420]

AgriFan nice to get it out of the way when it’s dry.

[@goldfire1676]

The grass did very well indeed for ye on to picking now have fun and be safe bro

[@gerry6420]

Gold Fire cheers buddy 👍🏻

[@gofish1468]

Mighty stuff Ger!!! The 28 is some bus.! Looks like the most part a 2 of them Herrons to the acre with that crop !! Stay cool boss..!! 5.9k in the Gerry Possy whoop whoop!!!!!!

[@gerry6420]

GoFish she’s a busy tractor at the minute. 😂 yes lifting Monday so we see then but look a good crop. 6k now.... flying up.

[@castrolgtx5064]

I love the old John Deere tractors 👍

[@gerry6420]

Springer spaniel me too. 50 series were the best

[@castrolgtx5064]

gerry6420 Thanks for the reply,,, i drove a 3130 2wd with a taarup mower back in the early 80’s for nearly 10 years,, then in 1989 the contractor i worked for bought a brand new 3050 4WD what a machine 👍

[@davie0979]

Nice clean crop. Will make some sweet smelling silage in time. The cows will love it

[@gerry6420]

davie0979 I hope your right 🤞🤞👌👌

[@antonyfarming]

Great vid looks like it mows well hope the weather loads for you a little rainy here in Cornwall anyway thanks for the video cheers Antony

[@gerry6420]

Antony farming glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully weather holds up 🤞🤞

[@kieranosullivan02]

Would it have been better getting a trailed mower with a swather/grouper for the 6420 instead of using a 1 rotor rake later on? Unless you want it to dry out a bit first.

[@gerry6420]

That is the plan to sell our older mower and buy 8ft trailed with grouper. Getting a taarup 8ft trailed might not be that simple. We be looking one in very good condition

[@kieranosullivan02]

Yeah it sounds like a good plan. I suppose if no good one was around a wanted ad on donedeal could help

[@seanodonnell7716]

Great video Gerry looks like good crop

[@gerry6420]

Sean O'Donnell fair good crops considering the spring we had

[@seanodonnell7716]

gerry6420 ye we were beaten by a point in st Kevin’s yesterday and it started lashing there but not for long

[@osiandavies5021]

I use this same mower on a landini vision 90 great machine cuts perfect like

[@gerry6420]

Osian Davies yea a top top mower. Love the kv’s

[@mrhorsepower150]

Those single rotor rakes are great but the wrong driver can leave the rows very lumpy.We have a JF single rotor,put 2 ten foot rows into one and lift with a JF 1050 on a MF6490.Can pick up about 4 acres + an hour when things go right but in very heavy reseeded first cuts better to lift the single row

[@gerry6420]

Jf 900 wouldn’t have just as big out put at the 1050. But our row are 8ft and should lift a 16 ft row. Lifted them before. We have 1 new reseed might just row head lands on it. It’s fair heavy crop.

[@fsking]

class video looks to be a good new purchase

[@gerry6420]

EA Ben yes she is. It’s working well

[@farmingyear3972]

Hi nice video good work

[@gerry6420]

Farming Year thanks

[@Bambinohead1]

Cutting on 1st and lifting on 3rd and 4th. Can l ask why ye are leaving it down so long?

[@gerry6420]

Just the way it worked out on at the weekend. We usually lift on day 2/3 but our drivers weren’t available until Monday and Tuesday.

[@agrifan5349]

Would you not be tempted to upgrade the harvester to a 1050 Gerry? 🙄 I know of a man who ran an 1100 with a 6930 premium with no chip or remap. And she could lift at some pace

[@gerry6420]

AgriFan yea it’d handle 20 ft rows and speed job up. To be honest if I up my acres I’d upgrade to a 1050 or 1055. We get a good price for our 900 it’s in such good nick so wouldn’t cost that much to change. I’d also consider a wagon.

[@kieranosullivan02]

All im saying is dont consider a wagon unless your fields are close to the pit.Thats the only time when theyre useful

[@georgedoorley5628]

wagon good if labour is hard to find ....2 men can work away ....nothing worse than waiting for a fellow to turn up

[@colmcultra1870]

Looks good

[@gerry6420]

Colm Cultra thanks Colm

[@pjagrivideomcmanus3661]

The 2850 knows it’s there

[@gerry6420]

Patrick Mcmanus she knows in this field.... was very heavy crop and had to drop it down a gear.

[@Bambinohead1]

Fair play Gerry. Lovely team there. Will ye pick up out of those rows? Notice ye not using spreading vanes.

[@gerry6420]

Bambinohead1 no didn’t use them . Grass is nice and dry so didn’t see the need. Be using them for the hay mowing. Save a trip with the Turner

[@Kieran-wi9xm]

Lol we could only do 4 small fields this morning

[@gerry6420]

Defender Gaming once you get it done that’s the main thing 👌

[@jdlover7829]

Why don't you use a front mover

[@gerry6420]

Have no from linkage but I’d like one. Speed the job up.

[@Jackoleary64]

We won't be cutting for another while

[@gerry6420]

tek bros plenty of time. I won’t be cutting our round bales for while yet either

[@kingoftheroad6347]

Did hay last night

[@gerry6420]

Robert Sloan nice to get hay done and dusted early

[@karlmorgan2719]

[@gerry6420]
