Could you make a video on the history of the farm like past machinery, buildings, stories

[@eoinfergus1147]

Sounds good

[@jeffreyfrank6998]

pro trick: watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

All Krone mowers have Safecut beds and full shaft drive line!, so no chance of doing any damage when topping, also you can mow heavy grass for silage or hay too.

[@markmezo]

I subscribe to less than a dozen channels & yours is a weekly "must watch" and i have nothing to do with farming whatsoever.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Glad your enjoying the vids mate 👍

[@lordofhowell7158]

Kuhn topper we had with a roller on back to spread the sh't out. Done a Brilliant job. Brilliant video 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@russellpetrie119]

like the fact you do field work without having the loader on makes life easier

[@jamesc2743]

I do most of my topping with a mower but bought a second hand flail topper for rough ground and for cutting back rushes

[@seanlenehan7574]

Great video🌟 again..we got our first major disc mower this year ,always had toppers .what a change in the grass .👍all we have is horse's. 🐴

[@sandymcghee3328]

Good 😌 video the disc mower make a nice 👍 job keep safe 👍😌👩‍🌾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😷🇬🇧thanks you for the video over the year 🚜🚜😷😷👍😌🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👩‍🌾

[@adamsandrew5587]

Weanling to beef system here and changed the topper for a mower this year. The speed of re-growth and following grazeouts make all the difference, right into the autumn.

[@bumpkinrocks]

We recently got a Major cyclone, a fantastic bit of kit.

[@andrewjohn7952]

Good but heavy on fuel and slow I heard

[@matthewharnett402]

I have a topper and mower and It very handy because if u had the topper and it hit a stone and broke a blade, egleast it woundnt be the mower

[@oconnellsfarm811]

Mower I use because cleaner cut and faster re growth and if want to take out small bit for bales you can cut it

[@georgerome5416]

Absolutely agree with you One Hunder Percent on the Mower vs Topper Scenario Adrian . Weve a 1980 Krone 9 foot mower (did have a conditioner on it ) conditioner packed in around 2003 ended up chopping it out the back and keeping the mower itself and top rushes and paddocks/fields with it . To be fair its getting past its best now and are on the look out for a cheapish disc mower . So here's hoping I can find one as good and lasts well enough

[@aaronringland9671]

As for the case hi speed starter the only way to go. Mine like many others had the bosh starter turns to slow when cold. Also I have a jf sb2400 great mower. Only problem I have is it doesn't fold in neat. Hangs out a bit. But defo a gear reduction starter the way to go.

[@philiptyndall4968]

We spread a phisolith from grassland Agro, Adrian Super product IMO, keeps the ground really sweet and the cows are always nipping in at dung pats

[@agrispeclad5593]

Great video Adrian 👍.A disc mower is the only yoke to use. When we pre-mow we leave it to dry a bit, they lick it of the ground

[@BrunyeeSalers]

I was told that toppers shred the edge of the grass leaf, a mower with SHARP blades leaves a clean cut edge. It’s all about respiration or transportation of moisture from the grass leaf.

[@tonydowling6870]

A box topper so very good if u hah e rough ground

[@iarlanolan2409]

Mower is better than topper defintley. But I have to say if u sharpen ur topper before every paddock u will get good results. We got 12 jerseys last year ( non selective graders) took the topper out twice during the summer.

[@macfarms]

Not having to change blades must be nice lol we go through about a set a year on our 2.8m kuhn, we grow the best rocks you'll find anywhere haha

[@DN-ij4pk]

Its hard to time it right ull top wen uv time. But. If u top just as the regrowth is starting. It is the perfect time in my opinion.

[@chuckhenry5487]

Your observations on premowing are spot on.lots of good information good job.

[@roberthiggins6401]

Congratulations! Adrian. Just shows if you're confident in front of the camera and have good content, you'll get noticed. Again well done and thanks.

[@dodge7679]

Great Vlog A., enjoyed watching this with a cuppa after getting the dinner prep done

[@rhysmoorehead6364]

What about a flail for the quad. We have one and it's a good job for grass and rushes

[@stuartrobertson4714]

Malone mower have skids and take of swarf does good job

[@dalglen1]

I like the picture of the tractor on the wall beside the computer, one of your daughters art work I presume

[@DTS1838]

Just love your videos and learning new things as well ,fair play to you I don’t know how you get the time but keep it up.

[@Cake41579]

Good stuff

[@roadrash1282]

The cousin does dairying and he does the exact same system as you with the disc mower over the topper and has the exact same outcome with milk production.

[@mikeclark4416]

Talking about Grass length ect ,That field could do with a good rolling !

[@joekehoe1424]

Love the case fab little tractor mower best way to go joe in Wexford

[@joelwilkin3004]

We have a topper and we have a disc mower too and we find no difference just the mower it better with big rushes

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Oh wow! The sun was shining! The mower blades are only sharp if you keep them sharp. It is important to check the blades often to make sure that you have a good edge on your blades. Can you tell us about greasing the moving parts on your mower? What does keeping the grass fresh have to do with the sugar content in the grass, Adrian?

[@DN-ij4pk]

I disagree with most people's thought. That u cant top rough ground with a disc mower. U can top any type of ground with a disc mower u may have to drive slowly. But iv topped the roughest of ground with a disc mower. Iv toped fur bushes with a disc mower she can top on any type of ground if u slow down and keep a good eye on wat ur doing. Disc mower all day long

I’m sharing this now with my cousin

[@colin9675]

Disc mower any day bought 7ft malone myself this year makes a far better job than the topper and on the upside grass comes back quicker after the disc mower to

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Malone makes great stuff

[@johnnykiely4905]

Toppers tare the grass where disc mower clips the grass on plus side if you had big enough disc mower you could take out paddocks for bales or silage lely mowers seem to be all around the place with farmers and ud see them of value on donedeal

[@CatherineKelly-wl7is]

you should change the oil in the bed great video

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Done that after it first year of run in

[@senanm1603]

I'd agree that the disc mowers are much better and your dead right they aren't that delicate i was only about a month behind the wheel of a tractor before i got sent topping and I batterd it off the ground and got stones cuaght up in it a few times cause i hadn't a clue at the time what I was at and the mower was perfectly fine after.

We were a long time waiting for this adrian 😉 with a decent covering of grass how many acres would be 12 hours grazing for you?

That was a gift from above running into that old man who told you about the the disc mower vs the grassland topper . I thought you were mad myself when I heard you mention it first last summer . Now that you have presented it there I see your logic in using that mower . Did you say you are mowing the grass and then strip grazing the cows on it ?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes but only if the paddocks are getting strong ahead

How do you eficently get cows out of the feilds and into the milk shed and back out twice a day. Do they walk down them selves when they are ready?

Thing with spreading the sh1t is your spreading the fluke too. Whatever you use the most important thing is good clean outs without leaving the cows hungry. A tricky balance.
