Swathing? 🤔

[@mikeznel6048]

Mike, don't be sorry for the noise outside the cab. It comes through as music to me. Love the sound of a diesel running and fans blowing and pumps whining and hydraulics.

[@francoismulder1043]

Very Very nice 👌 video learned a lot, I am from South Africa in this part of the world we plant canola in the Overberg area. I am from the Free State and here we plant mostly corn 🌽and oats. Mike keep up the great videos 📹 and have a nice day.

Mike your Greatest Asset is your Ashtyn, please be careful for her, it wont belong Ashtyn will give Birth to your first Child , I think its a Boy, Bless you both, try to be not so naughty , I know its hard for you, keep your Eye on your Ashtyn she will need you more soon, Great video, I never saw the Swathing before so its a first for us also, Cheers & Best Wishes , Trevor.W.Bacelli.

I love swathing too. We actually swath some of our straight cut liberty Canola as well just so we can get combining quicker.

Mike buddy, you remind me of myself as a child so excited to run around the field chasing after the machines videoing or even just to watch them go round and round

[@jonash6070]

I used to love swathing, then we switched over to straight cutting canola. And i can confirm swathing in the rain, as long as it didn't rain too hard. I once swathed canola in a thunderstorm, was epic. Still miss that job.

[@theloniousm4337]

I remember back in the 80s and 90s swathing canola in the rain. Could never swath cereals in the rain but with canola it works good. Canola cuts like butter wet or dry and you can actually go faster when raining/wet because it isn't as puffy and flows through the swather opening much better. I've never seen anyone swath canola without a roller though.

There is one major advantage to swathing I suppose, especially a crop like that with a fair bit of weeds in it. And that would be that the weeds also dry out in the swath as the canola ripens, and goes through the combine easier and…

Straight cutting is cutting it off the field with the combine. Swathing is cutting it with the swather then picking it up with the combine
