THE HORNET MEETS THE POTTINGER TOP 1403 C RAKE!

We had Paul from Pottinger back out with us again only this time he had a different beast with him, The massive TOP 1403 C 4 rotor rake. We couldn't resist the opportunity to hook it up to The Hornet and see how it got on! 💪
GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to KZbin. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating farming machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry, and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen​, we would love to have you.

Liked the vid keep up the good work

Sick vid

Glad to see they're working on the variable width rotary rakes. We use Berrima roll bar rakes because we can change to rake width from 8m for silage to 10 m for hay for the balers. Really good machines and there more gentle on fragile feeds like lucerne than a rotary rake while sweeping the ground like a wheel rake. Nice video

Pottinger Paul needs his own Grassman merch line 😁😁😁😁 They need to offset those jockey wheels out a foot or two. Then they would run on clean ground, not on top of the swath and would help a lot for the ride height and not get jammed with grass. like it tho bit o kit that 👍👍👍👍👍

[@petelamps6055]

Very impressive equipment

[@Stonework140]

No half loads in that Smyth !! Hell that was full 👍

[@petrokemikal]

The bigger machines debate rages on !! I witnessed a chap up the road, take a hedge row completely out of one side of his field so that he could join 2 fields together, at the same time he widened the gate 2fold what it used to be... Also a small scale farmer who has a field directly across from my house, had for the first time ever, another contractor doing his muck spreading instead of himself.. He would have a massey 165 and some beat down dung spreader to match... This guy rolled in with a T7 210 and a muck spreader that would hold nearly all the farms dung in one go... It took him 1/12 loads to do the field.. Watching him get in to the field was fair funny... Intensive farming is ramping up !!
