You are what I would call an honest farmer Richard. Working with the tools you have and producing a quality product at the end of the day. New machinery isn't a necessity. I no 1 or 2 contractors who yes have all new tractors new machinery but have also been bankrupt half a dozen times. You have healthy happy cows, machinery that works, happy family and food on the table and the job gets done. Life Doesn't get much better than that. Keep up the good work. Great vid 👍
Hi Richard mower and tractor doing a cracking job.I was with a contractor the other day and he was on a silage job with 4 John Deere tractors and trailers,one Krone forage harvester and a big JCB loader on the clamp,and quess what it was all leased so in others words he’s working for the Bank.At least you can sleep at night without the worry of paying for expensive kit.
Nothing wrong with the mower Rich, it’s a proven design and does the job well. Hopefully I will be going past you next week to knock off my Itchington grass. Good luck with your silaging. 👍
Yes your right Ian. I was just trying to head off all the comments about needing a new mower, it does get a bit wearing. Hope your silage goes well, i was pleased with our crop in the end
Good days work Sir. Please dont retire from u tube. Cool to watch what u do and seeing your happy boys. From a rather balmy New Zealand in early winter now, 18°c again today. Go New Zealand in the ODI cricket world cup! Ya just cant beat early summer with cricket commentary burbling in the background when your on a tractor
Thats a really good looking crop there Richard! Saw the photos on Fb, the clamp did looking good! Tbf, I would never changed that mower you have. Good mowers that never let you down if taken good care of, quality and bomb proof design. Hope you dont get to many nagging comments about getting a new one. This is real life and real farming, not farming simulator. Got a bit afraid when you said something about retire from (vlogging I guess) when hitting 100 subs. Hope that never happens but if it does it's understandable. Would really miss videos from your life and farming. I love the way you farm with nature. The quality product you deliver and keeping the cows happy and healthy, keeping the farm tidy is a really hard job, that many never will understand. Cheers
Looks like a good crop! We did our silaging a couple weeks ago and it came up fairly nice. Had to get a new mower fairly recently because our taarup broke but yours looks like it's doing a great job. Keep up the good work!
We all get fed at lunch time where I am now, but I miss a decent packed lunch. I reckon the secret is two of everything so you can stop mid morning and again mid afternoon 👍 and always save a decent choccie bar or bit of cake for much later in case of unforseen delays! 😁
Other advantage of keeping the trees in the field is that the cows like to shelter under them when it really sunny. It's the right sized mower for the farm, no point chucking a load of money at something massive to have it sat in the shed for 363 days a year.
My grandpa made a mobile cowshed that is on wheels for transport and on blocks in the pasture. Works great. Made from two JF combine frames and a bit of wood.
The idiots who complain about your equipment just need to realise that Farming Simulator isn't real life. Nothing wrong with your machinery. To be honest, it's annoyed me a bit!
Grass is short here in north east Pennsylvania USA it has been a cold wet spring here raining now and a good amount of thunder and lightning here too lately
Rich! If you download just eat app or similar on your phone, they will deliver coffee and food to you, from various vendors, so if you are stuck early with no coffee, just get them to deliver, I've done it at work lots lol😂
That Grass looks ok , Richard at least lot greener than here { Maffra, in the state of Victoria Australia} we have had very little rain our main reservoirs only 6%. I hope all goes well.
Have you ever tried hanging your lunch off the loader for a surprisingly good cooling effect? You need a good bag or you end up mowing your sandwiches.
although that new holland is nice the tractor you have is a real good bit of kit people need to understand not everyone can have a case quadtrac nice vid mate
Hi farmer well I was going to put a reply in but everyone has said what I was going to say and thay are dead right that machinery that you have is the gear we all had say 40 years ago and we still got the job dune we got a long on 3 cylinders and thay got have 12now good crop of milk ( grass) there boy cheers buudy
Do you change your grass fields yearly or keep them 2 yearly or 3 yearly because were on our third year on 1 grass feild and it looks a fair hit heavier than this we spread slurry and fertiliser on it not to sure what you do we dont usually chain harrow
dont see the need for a new or bigger mower when your only using it a few days a year, no point paying back for something thats sitting in the shed 360 days a year
Richard I have the exact same mower - it is soooo bloody slow and narrow I keep thinking I should buy an 8 foot - takes forever to go around a few acres! But then it was cheap - bought it secondhand for 500 quid and it's on it's third year. What rpm do you run at? I keep mine at the 400rpm cos that's what it recommended in the manual ( I think I spotted 515rpm on your readout?) but yours seems to be doing a cleaner cut than mine . Also I notice you flipped back a lever at the top before you started mowing - I often wondered exactly what it's for - presumably transporting the mower in the other (up) position?
It's not a priority upgrade only used in the summer time to make a expensive upgrade pay off its needs to be working 365 days a year. And it's not that easy to just buy a new mower new machinery it expensive

No problem. Keep doing what your doing 👌👍

Great vid Richard the old mower is doing a top job there the grass looks a good crop love your mowing vids 👍👍
Looks a very tidy mower to me and quality grass you farm like me all bought and paid for
I always was told you should mowe silage in sunshine so you get the sugars up in the grass , be better to mowe late in the evening that early morning
you can only do tasks with what you have.i wouldn't be caught up in all this machinery crap its doing the job nicely.
A good example of patience.
Great vid keep up the good work. Your machinery is absolutely fine gets the job done and keeps the cows fed
Those Jaffa cakes would still taste gorgeous especially when you are hungry!! Well done great job 👍
I like your equipment I like it when people actually use the cheap stuff instead of getting really expensive equitment and then breaking it
Love the video Richard great seeing the silage making. Good luck with the fields and good luck to edd. 👍👍
Fantastic video Richard and nice mower (same as mine) 😀 does a good cut ok it's not the biggest but it won't let you down 👍👍😀crop looks really good 👍👍
On a hot day choose Fox's Double Chocolate Crunch Creams, its one of the few Biscuits that don't melt but still gives you a chocolate fix!
Great video Richard, that's a nice crop of grass, work with what you've got that's all you can do!
Looks like a good crop to me Richard! Hope it filled the clamp out for you mate 👍🏻
Got some quality mowers on that NH. Your little mower did a grand job. Big not always best. You certainly earned your wonderful lunch.

Looks like a good crop. Thanks for sharing your day with us!!

Good too see some older machinery still getting used
Looks like a decent crop, machinery doesn't matter as long as it gets the job done 😃
We all get fed at lunch time where I am now, but I miss a decent packed lunch. I reckon the secret is two of everything so you can stop mid morning and again mid afternoon 👍 and always save a decent choccie bar or bit of cake for much later in case of unforseen delays! 😁
Yes I like the variety of a packed lunch
If it works it works nothing wrong with old equipment 👍 I'm not a farmer lol but I'd say looks decent crop to me

Absolutely gorgeous country!
The idiots who complain about your equipment just need to realise that Farming Simulator isn't real life. Nothing wrong with your machinery. To be honest, it's annoyed me a bit!
I wouldn't complain about that cut of grass it looks nice to me
You need to invest in a little cool bag/box for your lunch and drinks 😊
Grass is short here in north east Pennsylvania USA it has been a cold wet spring here raining now and a good amount of thunder and lightning here too lately
Brilliant video, thanks for posting!
i think you brought lunch for all of use. great job.
Rich! If you download just eat app or similar on your phone, they will deliver coffee and food to you, from various vendors, so if you are stuck early with no coffee, just get them to deliver, I've done it at work lots lol😂
Hi the funky farmer good driving Gerry Kelleher again
Hope you feel better soon. Most likely being in the tractor all day
I saw you at the Gloustershire young farmer rally I was that child that you might of seen
Quite a few there. You should have said hello!
God it’s the best job in the world ! Wish I worked on a farm !!!
That Grass looks ok , Richard at least lot greener than here { Maffra, in the state of Victoria Australia} we have had very little rain our main reservoirs only 6%. I hope all goes well.
hats not good, you obviously have more issues with rain than we do. Hope you get some soon
Great video Richard 👌👍
Doing a great job just mind your fingers while eating that pie 👍
I can not function without my coffee !!!
Great video mate
Great work!
We have that very mower and a great little mower
For the amount of times u use a year wouldn’t justify a big expensive mower
Have you ever tried hanging your lunch off the loader for a surprisingly good cooling effect? You need a good bag or you end up mowing your sandwiches.
Is nitagen gone out long Inhofe. A lot of people got with mute still in the ground.
Grass sugars are at their peak in the grass plant at 4pm in the day, that's the time to mow your silage.
I'm sure you're right but I haven't got the time to wait till then
although that new holland is nice the tractor you have is a real good bit of kit people need to understand not everyone can have a case quadtrac nice vid mate
we have a mower a little bit bigger than yours and it folds back with a hydraulic ram so bit easier
Looks like a serious crop in the middle of the field
that takes big power to run 2 discbines
Agrostroj Pelhrimov! One of the oldest european producer of farming machinery.

Need a bigger mower
Good job 👍

My mower is a krone 10 foot what is yours
those oaks are priceless :) top job great vids :)
Wie viel häktar sind das Gras
Does brother do much tractor work
Mostly me
A nice 2ft mower
Need a little cool bag/box! Nothing worse than melted chocolate

What sort of mower are you planning on upgrading too a bigger drummie or something fancier?
Good Video Greets Marko
Looks a good set up if u ask me dose the job, that's all that matters
Take a piriton tablet for hay fever. Looks a pretty good crop there.
Wheres your rear windscreen wiper?
Its not a rear windscreen its a back window
have u got much rain ....we got some this last few days .....grass growing now thank god ......
not a drop
I'm still using a sperry, new Holland mower from the 60's 4ft 6 or 8 😁 so don't worry Richard
That's good to hear
Do you have a Mccormick cx 105 with frontloader and a mccormick cx 95 with frontloader at the farm?
Yes
@@thefunkyfarmer whe hafe ah cx 105 xtrashift also wortles peace of shit id is always problems whit the steering and hydrauliks
Great video
What tractor you driving because it looks like a used case I just brought in the right cab that is
mccormick
Well unfortunately we didn't see the baby dear in time and it ran straight under the mower which wasn't good
You started at 6.30, I thought you not better cutting in the afternoon as the sugars in the grass are higher, am I right or wrong?
He needs to get it ready for the contractor. You can't always get the optimal. Have to consider the time at hand as well.
Is that the replacement for the sip
no we never replaced it in the end
@@thefunkyfarmer so what mower is that
its ashame they cant adapt a mower for the front end loader
which would you like more off grass for silage or hay
Both!
U need to get a cool box 📦 rich. . Great video
You're definitely right
The Funky Farmer I’m a van driver always have my lunch and drinks in a cool box
@@paddygoesracing my fault. I don't normally have a packed lunch and wasn't expecting it to be so warm
Good job Richard. How did you do in Popmaster ??
Didn't get the 3 in 10😂
What dry matter do you aim for
25% ish
hi richard do you still have your massey 265 any plans to sell it?
yes still got it. No plans to get rid of it, it's a good back up tractor
What are in those pies anyway they look good
steak and ale
All that moaning about no brekfast and you bring enough lunch for two days!!! Only joking, great video.
What size mower is that Richard? ?
6ft
Good crop that
How many acres you cut love vids keep them up
62
Use your GoPro please
How did you get a black thumb nail
Good question. I can't remember
You should get a 6/7 foot mower speeds it up way faster
Danny Quinlan can’t buy machines just for fun , sometimes your have to work with what you’ve got
I understand that just saying it would be a helpful upgrade in the future
It's not a priority upgrade only used in the summer time to make a expensive upgrade pay off its needs to be working 365 days a year. And it's not that easy to just buy a new mower new machinery it expensive
Michael Brodison yes I k is that I was just asking as we have an OLD 7ft mower which we use so I was saying he should get one. It would save time
I miss Chris too!😂 Can you not get virgin radio?
Not on the tractor😣
Was your brother mowing
yes in another field
contractors always end up in debt.
Why don't u bye a bigger mower
are you offering to for it?
@@thefunkyfarmer what do you mean. Love the vids by the way
Don't walk under the loader
First

You're not pregnant are you? You seem to be eating for two!
