Josh 👏👏on hitting 4K mate 👍👍
Thanks pal! Unreal! 🤟🏼
My very favorite farm activity is mowing hayledge.
You just can’t beat it Jim!
Brilliant video Josh, thank you 👍
Cheers Alex!
Great drone footage josh
Thanks Zach!
Cracking video Josh especially the drone footage. Favourite time of the year for me too is silage season. Cranking up the mowers to full tilt would be a good shot to include in you next video from the outside. Love that sound of the mowers in full tune!
Ahh didn’t think of doing that! I agree, running them up has a very distinctive sound! Thanks for the idea!
@@JMFarming No problem Josh 👍
nice video josh, top job 👍
Thanks Michael!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
And silage has started good 😌 looking crop of silage 🚜🚜👍👍🇬🇧🏴🏴👌👌👩🌾👩🌾🦌🦌
Thanks Sandy! Best time of year!
Cracking video josh. Silage 2021 has officially begun. Excellent drone footage
Been waiting far to long for this day Paddy!
@Derek Brycen thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
@Eugene Titus no problem :)
great video bud
Thanks Harry! 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Sweet video Josh. Nice to see the technology. The same work has to be done - watching for hazards, mowing the same fields, caring for the equipment. It seems like the techno wizardry is just enough help so that at the end of a long day of farming - you still have enough energy to get something meaningful out of whats left of the day.
It certainly allows you to keep a better eye on everything else around you! And like you say, doesn’t knacker you out the same!
Miss the days of chasing the grass , I used to live near Exeter & worked for Jay clements contracting of Ipplepen just nw of Newton abbot . Miss my Home county now grain farming 45k acres in Canada ,
Your a long way from home then! Nothing like silage fever! Big operation you are on then!
Hi.....really enjoyed video.....I have my mowers set exactly the same!!!! I sometimes narrow track width if I’m going across steep land..
Also I have 2 itec settings 1 for middles and 1 for headlands....
If you set work recording to your SVC then it will record when mower goes down😀😀
Thanks a lot!
Ideal! Does it record if the SCV goes into float?
@@JMFarming
Yes if you set itec to go into float maybe 5m after down then it will start recording when svc has stopped👌
@@stevenwaite4565 legend!
@@JMFarming 😃. Hardly!!!!
How do you rate the Vicons?
@@stevenwaite4565 they are alright! Bit noisy!
Great video Josh nice to be getting the silage done . Good drone footage 👍
Flat out here Philip! Thanks!
Fantastic video brilliant seeing it from the drone 😁crop looking great 👍
Thanks Antony! 🤟🏼
Nice to see you josh back on your favourite tractor 🚜
It was a hard time without it! Loving this silage time of year!
Good enjoyed Devon looks lovely 🚜👍🏴
Thanks Glyn! Was a beauty yesterday!
Great video Josh, there seems to be quite a bit of weed in the fields, does the farm not control with chemicals?? Nice sward of grass though. Cheers.
The ‘blue’ field as we call it is a high clover sward so very hard to control the weeds. We do spray for docks sale where! 👍 they are bad this year after last years drought!
Some grand looking grass in there mate 👍. Mowers didn’t seem to mind the quantities either... think he’d look good one mine 😁... one day I’ll get my hands on a set of mowers🤣🤪🤦♂️
Thanks pal! Yeah! Strangely the more grass the easier they run! Get you some big mowers on that green machine!
Great video, nice footage, that should make some great silage 👍
Thanks Tony! Picking it up today!
nice drone shots. don't know why I am watching silage cutting as I saw the real thing when up at my friend's on Sunday lol
Thanks! Everyone loves watching silage!
great video as always
Cheers John!
great vid josh just a tip as it works well for me if you are wanting to fly under 10mph go in tripod mode its much easier to control
Ahh thanks for the tip! I will try that today! Didn’t know about that!
Why aren't you using the full working with is the side mower?
The outside mower isn’t as wide as it looks, the fold down flap has a lot of empty space underneath
Nice video! How do you get the coverage on green star to work???
When you set up an implement profile you can select the recording mode, I just use manual for mowing 👍
Great video what speed where you mowing at ?
About 14k yesterday. Gear slower today in heavier wetter grass!
That field where you had the camera on the mower, looked a bit sparse, any reason it's not grown as well? The other fields looked a pretty good crop.
It’s a legume sward, mainly clovers which have suffered this winter. It’ll bounce back for second cut. It also doesn’t get the N that the rest do.
Be even more impressive if you had to do it by eye like I had to 30 years ago. I loved mowing.
I’ve done a few years of doing it by eye with 1 mower. Now I’ve had 2 and gps I wouldn’t want to go back!
What would the lateral offset be on just a 3m back mower, I can’t work it out to match up 😩
Measure 1.5m from the far end of your mower then measure from there to the centre of the tractor and it shouldn’t be far out! 👍
Haw big (hp) is the tractor? Thanks
155 boost to 190 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Just noticed your mirrors on the tractor don’t look like any Deere ones I’ve seen are they after market?
Yeah they are after market ones! Won’t be on here much longer! 👀
Wish I had GPS so I could drone and drive 😂
It’s a blessing for that!
Technology is unreal, that it can just get every inch out of the mowers, nothing as bad as seeing those poxy lines of grass between the last run and your back right wheel when you've gone in too far in the next run
It’s amazing isn’t it! Yeah I know what you mean! I can’t leave bit behind! I don’t have it in me!
How would u do it if u did not have GPS then
The old fashioned way using a tree or something in the hedge or by guess work If you couldn't.
Just by eye. As billy said, aim for a tree on the other side!
Once you've mown or worked the same fields a few times you soon learn which tree or fence post to aim for!
@@pinchface Exactly, Come the end I could work most of the fields and end up with very little short work. But then again these youngsters are spoiled with there 200hp GPS enabled tractors pulling trailers about. Back in my day syncromesh was a bonus. Air con whats that, Oh the good old days.
@@pinchface very true!
