I saw a front mounted topper yesterday for the first time. I didn't get chance to stop and have a look as we were passing eachother on the road but if I see it again I will try to get a photo. The tractor was blue, can not remember the make. Topping is so relaxing.

Little tip with the 3 point linkage... you start from the left arm, so you do left arm, right arm, top link followed by PTO, reason being is your right swing arm is adjustable up and down whereas the left link isnt, so if for any reasons the attachment isn't level you can adjust the right link once the left arm is hooked up

You can get push and pull toppers that work on rear or front pto, they work at 1000rpm, flail toppers are the way to go over rotary, mulches better and rear roller levels out any cow pats and mole hills.

Nice topping vid. P.s to get the field really nicely topped you need to top in may or June because the grass dosent get as strong. Then the topper will top it a hole lot better and it will stay nice and sweet for a longer time

Well done Thomas! Nout broken this year, definitely better 😉😂. Yeah the company in used to work for cut air fields with front mounted toppers, worked well. Side mounted mowers are the way forward, I've gone from rear drag topper to off set flail mower. Chops up grass and weeds better than a topper and when you do hit something (recently it was a steel post in the ground... don't ask 😂 ) they don't destroy them self's!

I don't want to be critical Tom, but the thing you really need to invest in (far more important than anything else) is a proper paddock network. 80 cows need 0.5ha per grazing, paddocks should be 3 grazings in size and they should get 3 weeks break between grazings. You're missing out on serious 💷💷 by grazing the fields constantly the way ye are. If ye have a source of stone on the farm for the passages, it's not that expensive and should give the best return than any investment you'd make

spot on martin, even put a permanent electric fence along the lane from the yard with a couple of entrances would be a start. He would get some shock the amount of grass that place could grow if it was done well, ie paddocks id go twice what you are talking about and split them with temporary fence, grass measuring and a proper fertilizer plan
