    Living in Australia it is interesting to see farming in England. What I am trying to understand is wether your family lease the three farms as I get the impression that your family have had a long association with the farms. I have had relations in dairying, but now just fattening cattle for market. Another branch of the family grew flowers and strawberries. My youngest son this year bought a farm with the intention of running cattle on it. Certainly enjoy the videos, keep up the good work.

    Hi Andy. Big fan of your channel, and do a fair bit of hedge cutting myself. Great choice for the Shelbourne, I think you'll love it. Please tell me you've ticked the option box for the 1.5m head? I have used both 4 foot (1.2m) and 5 foot heads (1.5m), and the difference is amazing. The productivity of the 1.5m head is leagues ahead, especially when topping hedges or verge mowing. Thanks for all you do on CZcams.

    Hi Andy lovely job as always we operate two McConnell pa 7700 back here in Ireland but I’ve seen u took the precaution of protecting your paintwork on the jd by putting a tarpaulin cover over the bonnet could you tell we where u purchase such an item ? While hedge and verge trimming is relatively lighter duties on the farm it does essentially take its toll on the paintwork (ps EnJoy the week off ! )
