Great video showing us the action without music, the way I like to see farm machinery working. Thanks for sharing.

[@balmesh]

Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks!

[@jasonwren4233]

Something satisfying about watching that merger do its magic

[@balmesh]

Yes, it leaves things nice and tidy!

Serious crop of grass and a fine silage outfit

[@balmesh]

Very much so . .

[@steviechalmers1218]

Kuhn mergemaxx is perfect for these big 20+ acre fields ‘ it certainly keeps that forager busy not so quick with these massive swaths ‘ don’t think I’ve seen a first cut like that in a while ‘ past few years I’ve noticed a leanness in the grass at 1st cut’ great video 👍

[@balmesh]

Thank you Steven. That swathe certainly slowed down the merger . . .

[@Kingfisher1215]

Interesting seeing the farm ground in other parts of the country. I've not traveled the country to the east of the Mississippi a lot. It's amazing what grows when you have rain.

[@balmesh]

Indeed, the grass has been loving it.

[@Rodea555]

That's the UK not USA

[@jacooboophotography]

Nice spot Alan, it is the thickest crop I’ve seen!

[@balmesh]

It sure is!

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

Love a merger , so many diff options on sward width depending on the cut / crop .

[@balmesh]

Very true.

[@hughmarcus1]

Interesting to see a merger in that heavy crop. You normally see them in light crops of get dry grass. I wonder in time, will mergers replace rakes?

[@yvespetit]

Hugh, mergers will surely replace rakes. The big manufacturers can't stand farmers using the same equipment for too long. They need to sell, sell and sell!

[@wanemergency3591]

​@hughmarcus1 simple answer 4 year's later. No.

[@sharonromer6606]

Great to see how things are done in the UK.

[@balmesh]

Many thanks Sharon.

[@dennis-veltman]

It has been a better year for grass here now there is rain more often, but haven't seen anything like that. Merger seems to do a good job if it doesn't slow the chopper with that thick swath, with certain types of older rakes it would just curl up into a sausage and be very difficult to pick up

[@balmesh]

It didn't seem to slow the chopper - maybe the MergeMaxx is better at fluffing it up?

[@bigears4426]

Lovely cut, looks like a nice bit of land

[@balmesh]

It was, though quite high in the fells.

[@calvin2584]

Get a helmet on ya girl ya. Too many quad riders have regretted not being kitted out with the safety gear before going for a spin!!⛑🥽🧤🚁🚦🏂🚴‍♂️🛺♿️🏁🇨🇭🆘🛏

[@balmesh]

Thanks - although hardly any quad drivers have helmets here, and I've never seen or heard of an accident.

Cracking good crop, and great equipment. 1st cut has been very poor here with the drought less than half the normal

[@balmesh]

Oh, that's tough. We had nearly drought way back in April, but it turned ( up here, anyway).

[@danielwanner8708]

Beautiful country , stone walls are kept in great condition .

[@balmesh]

Yes they are - on some farms!

very nice. only saw such big ones made out of hay

Thanks very much!

Em que cidade/ país foi feito esse vídeo, sou brasileira e gostaria de saber

[@balmesh]

We don't make videos in cities but in the country. At the foot of the video it tells you where made.

[@tinnie1835]

What grass is that? Italian ryegrass??

[@balmesh]

Don't know - probably.

[@seanryan914]

Why the class wasnt on d rake and the fendt on the trailer idk

[@balmesh]

Why not?

[@tonytatters4288]

Because the Claas tractor isn’t mine that’s why the fendt is on the merger

[@jordr2414]

What's the frame on the front of the fendt?

[@coyroberts8356]

Don’t know about the quality of the feed but there’s a lat of it.

[@balmesh]

True!

Some sward of grass.Chopper seems comfortable.I would think it over powered for grass.Probably need a heavy maize crop to really load it. Lovely video.JD looks ready for whole crop.

[@balmesh]

Yes, indeed, but it shouldn't have been there. It was uploaded in a hurry after a long day out.

[@matthewdavies2516]

Won't be going short of winter feed with silage like that never seen rows of grass so big will you be doing a second-second cut or just a 3rd cut

[@balmesh]

It's not mine, Matthew but I'm betting there'll be a second cut!

Pěkné hrázky udělali 👍

[@balmesh]

Thank you!

[@christopherlovelock9104]

Do you think our 'lock-down' had anything to do with perhaps letting it grow for longer before the first cut. With the N.West hit so bad I know several farmers who have had tractor drivers and their families"isolate" for a period, it all makes a difference to the farmer, especially when it is not a particularly large farm.

[@balmesh]

I haven't noticed a difference here . . . .

[@TractorCambodia]

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@balmesh]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kmcca08]

What is the benefit of the belt merger over a rake.??

[@balmesh]

Read the description and watch the video . . .

[@kmcca08]

balmesh I did. Didn’t answer my question though. . .

[@balmesh]

Sorry, I mis-directed you. It was the earlier video of same outfit (Tatters) that demonstrated two of the ways this can be used, all to the middle or all to one side.

Don't know - probably linkage for the front mower.

The size of those rows 😱 , think I wouldn’t have gone full width !.

Ah, but the chopper was coping brilliantly!

[@TechnoMoffat]

Nice work Alan, Reminds me of one farm, who's grass is most years like this if not thicker and the chopper going much slower than this one.

[@balmesh]

Very true but be careful you don't fall into the "My Dad has a bigger one" syndrome!

[@danielwanner8708]

Photographer is a genius .

[@suffolkshepherd]

That forage is the definition of "Tonnage" . Good video. Is the reason it is put in windrows because the moisture is too high?

[@balmesh]

Not really, though it does help conditioning. Reason is to make it easier and quicker to pick up.

[@derekludwig165]

This is very interesting especially because I'm from the US we usually rake the inside and the go do the end rows

[@balmesh]

Sounds good to me!

[@lavernfiely1326]

[@balmesh]

The best!!!

[@CRAFT7445]

I saw that Deere you slipped in there. Don’t know how I feel about that. I grew up with Deere, my wife used to work at Deere, ,but now she works at the parent company of Claas, AGCO.

[@balmesh]

It slipped itself in! The clip was uploaded in error when it was included in a batch! Didn't hurt so I left it.

[@hendrikflorian3835]

Actually CLAAS is a family owned business and independent of AGCO.

[@gordcard]

What kind of grass are they harvesting? Great Video.

[@balmesh]

Answered that already.

[@TomRelubbus]

There must have been around a million pound's worth of kit running around that field, no wonder farming has become so expensive these days

Seems a waste of time and money all these machines. Surely tractor pulls the cutter, which blows the grass into the trailer being towed behind. Worked for me for a long time!
