Start of silage

We make a start at the silage and I go to a foot trimming course

[@philipoconnor2236]

A super sward of grass Graham 😍. If that doesn't make good silage you may throw your hat at it!! Be v interesting to see what difference the inoculant will make👌🇮🇪

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Be interesting maybe I should be treating it all and keep a few aside to see difference but I’ve been stung with some products over the years being a bit too safe

[@johnmcmccormack9203]

Good video Graham, you got a great yield from the seven acres. Of course being a little late and no early grazing helps. Good luck with the hoof trimming.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Yes and grass has grew a lot in the last 3 weeks

[@yant8777]

Very interesting Graham.As you say , a tough year,not much dry silage so far.I have a lely tedder with the hook tines.Very good and you can drive fast but i think they all struggle in heavy wet crops.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Ah they will in heavy wet silage but I find the krone can give bad results in average crops sometimes

[@farmerslife2612]

Hi Graham, have a look at farmer Phil and new rake last Thursdays video, looks a great job ,remind of the lily throwing out in a big fan of grass , god be with the 35 and pz 275, take 2 years to make hay I. Wet time .I was on for a ,, ai course and didn't bother then would have been handy tool as well .

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Ya it’s no harm to do these courses when you get the chance no load to carry

[@danielcunningham5052]

You mean tedder not rake

[@user-pu5ij9lc6z]

Few farmers in my area have few dufferent makes.from what i saw of there work the malone is best to prevent lumps even in heavy crops.anither contractor with a sip tedder tedded out a light crop for me and it lumped it all.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Have seen a malone working look a good job whatever their like in wet and heavy crops

[@official-tmo5232]

I use a Lely hay Tedder and it’s the same as that throws out lumps when heavy, my uncles uses a Mchale propel and is very good in heavy grass, quite expensive tho

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Haven’t seen a mchale working they are all expensive now

[@tomotoole7241]

Great video is there a tedder made to spread damp silage as for the field a run of a grass harrow would do it good

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Don’t think any make will work when wet. I think ground a bit to wet for grass harrow

[@jamesfox5245]

I have krone tedder and find them great. Most of my stuff is heavy.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Have yours got the new curved tine I’m told those are better but ours isn’t great once it gets heavy

[@jamesfox5245]

@Grahamkavanaghfarming normal tines and found it great. Have got a new 1 with the curved tines so il see how that 1 goes.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Even whether you follow the mower or go against direction of mower makes a big difference in some fields

[@paddy294]

First

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Good man paddy

[@murraysmith6315]

What are you having to pay for a roll of plastic Graham? 150NZD down here last season. Hopefully not more for the next. Always a good watch thanks. 👍

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

I was using the last few of last years pallet and I think it was €105 or €107 haven’t priced any this year but supposed to be gone down a bit in price

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Wrap this year is €90 so has come back a fair bit
