[@cianrooney5155]

Making silage bales all of a sudden is that a millstone machine cutting fresh green grass go Gerry go like the clappers run forest run

[@casto-]

It's amazing what a difference a bit of water makes. Just managed to bale 2nd cut hay yesterday. Managed to film mowing and turning but it all went wrong filming the baling 😂

[@gerry6420]

Casto that happens

[@casto-]

Worst was, I filmed it twice and each time I didn't have the baler door shut 😂, third time was fine but I took a photo instead of film!😩😂

[@markbyrne600]

Hi Gerry anytime we leave the bales in the field to the next morning the crowes hole them at daylight do you get much of that

[@gerry6420]

Yes we have had that too. Buggers when they start that. Hadn’t any issues this time

[@Jackoleary64]

Will you be showing some of the farms you will be looking at

[@gerry6420]

tek bros yes that’s the plan jack

[@jamestwohig5032]

[@leytonbrown1869]

James Twohig it 180

[@gerry6420]

Yea they run 180 with the boost

[@frclintpower]

What sort fert your put out 3 weeks gerry before you cut, I'm having same prob with a field thinkin of putting bag of can to acre, surely be safe to cut in 3 weeks ?

[@gerry6420]

frclintpower I’d say at the current growth rates a bag to the acre would be used up in 3 weeks. Should be safe enough.

[@gerry6420]

[@upthereds4939]

[@gerry6420]

Lauris reseeding, slurry and fertliser

[@causewayfarming4x494]

Ground conditions look a bit soft.

[@gerry6420]

Causewayfarming 4x4 not too bad. Was. Some due setting in when I was recording but overall stuff was nice and dry

[@aaronmackay739]

[@aaronmackay739]

James Twohig I thought it was but thanks

[@gerry6420]

Aaron Mackay it’s actually a 7600

[@seanoconnor8496]

gerry6420 it looks like it’s a American 7600 tractor by the steps on it. She has some power to pull the fusion 3 aswell

[@OisinFlynn]

Are you from cooley and was that mark grills bailing

[@mrsgbee]

Please could you tell me what did you use to kill the weeds. Thank you. I have a few acres that have weeds in them and would like to gt rid of them.

[@gerry6420]

mrsgbee what weeds have you??

[@mrsgbee]

Thank you for your reply, I have Brambles, Docks, Buttercups, Thistles and now Hemlock. It's a smallholding and I don't keep cattle or horses to eat the pasture. Would like to grow trees but the weeds are becoming a pain.

[@mrsgbee]

Oh and lots of Marsh Grass, I am also trying to grow willow as most is very wet land here in Wales.

[@gerry6420]

mrsgbee mircam high load at full rate should sort out most of your weeds. You may need to spray again next year to kill the docks thistles as the Mircam will only stunt them back now when their strong. You could go with more expensive sprays but I wouldn’t bother at this late stage of the year. Let me know how you get on

[@pjagrivideomcmanus3661]

What do you yous to stak bales

[@gerry6420]

Patrick Mcmanus double bale lifter

[@darabradley5173]

We still haven’t ours cut

[@Jackoleary64]

[@gerry6420]

tek bros no im still here 😝

[@jackmurphy4739]

Well lads

[@archiethomson4190]

How much bales did u get altogether

[@gerry6420]

Archie Thomson 184

[@liamhennessy31]

Why didn’t ye use the white film on the bales instead of Net? Film is a way better job.

[@gerry6420]

liam hennessy haven’t yet but I’d like to try it

[@liamhennessy31]

gerry6420 once you try it you won’t go back. No waste on the bales atall. We switched form net last year.

[@archiefowler8]

Why don’t you windrow it?

[@b210wah3]

Archie Fowler I was wondering too. I’d start crying if we’d to go back to baling our of the swarth

[@gerry6420]

Tommy's hand no rake to row it. Hoping to buy a mower with grouper to put 2 row together that way.... if I could find one good enough. Looking a fresh 8ft taarup kv. One with little work done

[@patrick0connell772]
