Old School Grassmen - Creggan Silage

Silage done the Old School way - double chop direct cut harvester and some classic Massey Ferguson tractors 🚜🌱 One for all you Grassmen to watch and enjoy 😍🐄🐮

[@liamg6596]

Brings back memories from the mid 70's drawing silage with a Ford 4000 with very little brakes. Scary as hell but way better than being in school lol.

[@crazystevie]

Haha class....just stand on them harder 🤣

[@spreader4]

That was a memory from my past cutting green oats with a Wilder single chop and MF35 happy days .

[@crazystevie]

Hard to beat 💓 🚜 🌾

[@duggy788]

it would be nicer to hear the sound of the tractors and machinery rather than all that music.

[@crazystevie]

Unfortunately that's impossible....I did on purpose put the sound of the tractors in a couple of places so people would hear but actually look at the video again and think what you would be hearing this time! Cameras are switching constantly so you wouldn't be hearing beautiful tractor sounds but the buzzing of a drone, into the sound of the chase car into the random chat in a barn, it would actually be a horrible experience to watch 🤷‍♂️

Amazing video. Great blast from the past.

[@stevepettifer4896]

Just like my old Britains farm toys as a kid. Much as I love big machines (and I'm not a farmer or anything, I just live in a rural area), it is cool to see these classics still putting in a shift. Once covid is no longer a thing I think a trip over to see my sister and then a road trip up top is in order around cutting time to see if I can spot these in action!

[@irishlad8797]

Brilliant video There was nothing wrong with old school silage Neighbour's helping out neighbour's i did it for years with my neighbour cutting with a tarrup double chop Always cut it dry class video guys Don't stop the operation no matter what TEAGASC SAY

Dont know how many times I have seen this video over and over again on facebook and now on youtube. I absolute love this video, the camera angles and music are perfect! Hope you get to catch more of these guys at it this year, or someone else doing silage the proper way!

[@philipoconnor2236]

Great video! The 135 has a special place in the hearts of Irish country people. They were and still are an unreal workhorse for their size! You really felt at one with the tractor when you drove one of those. Happy memories of driving one as a kid. I like your filmography and the sound track but as someone who just loves the 135, l would love to see you make another "pure sound" version by just stripping away the music track, might not be easy now that you have it produced. Hopefully you saved a version before you produced.

[@crazystevie]

Everything's saved but would have to be a different video as there are plenty of drone shots, car shots and random barn chat in this 😀

[@philipoconnor2236]

@@crazystevie l understand. It's an unreal video don't get me wrong. Really struck a chord with me. Hairs on the back of my neck watching it. I suppose everyone loves the tractors of their youth.

Rematch it and have a think 🤔 imagine no music.....I have the note of the 135s in twice but what you would actually hear is the sharp whine of a drone into my chase car infront of the tractor into random chat in a barn!!! 😆 all randomly changing....would completely ruin the video. The way its edited it simply has to have music 🎶

@@crazystevie The sound of the job being done would out do any music. I farmed for thirty years and my first tractor was a 10 year old 8 speed 135 used with a 5 disc Kuhn.
