Hi Gerry. Brilliant video thank you. It’s brilliant to see you Gerry in front of the camera. I hope you and the family are well and safe.
jeff shiels thanks Jeff. Yes I think it adds a bit more when you can see me. I was trying to keep a low profile but everyone knew what I looked like anyhow. I’m on Instagram and Facebook so wasn’t a secret 😂

Paul Murphy you could be right 😂😉

Great video once again Gerry!!!
Great video Gerry👍
Another great video young man!
Great video Gerry
Interesting video.seems to be good crop of grass.fields burning up here in north wales 🏴👍
Grass disappearing here too. Rain needed
Great video Gerry cant beat the sound of the mower , cant wait to hear the jf at full whack 👍🏻🤙🏻
Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos. Always top class.
A great days work there Gerry, and another well put together video! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Don’t burn! ☀️🔥🤗
Keep er lit Gerry !! 👌👌
Tractors and mowers r looking good. Good crop of grass.
Great video Gerry. Weather has been super and makes all the difference. Pity malone didn't see sense and look after you. They gave Tom Pemberton mower so shame they couldn't help a great machinery man like yourself with 6 rotor tedder. Keep up the good work.
great vid gerry, definitely a nice crop of grass considering the dry weather. the Deeres were looking and sounding amazing.
Love the silage videos , looking forward for the picking up video 👍
Hi Gerry ,great video as usual, love watching from New York
Martin Egerton greetings nyc
Love the sound oh the mower firing up, can’t wait to get the mower yoked up👌
Great to get silage cut great video as always Gud to see da face behind da voice we got our meadow cut on Thursday was meant to be da silage but with da weather we having we changed plans and going for hay keep up da great work
Sure is nothing like the satisfaction of running your own kit on jobs like this bud!! Fair play to the old "eagle eyed Snr" too btw.....he opened up some savage square plots too in fairness to him!! Looking forward to hearing the 69 and the JF chewing up that pure quality grass!! Stay safe amigo!!
it was interesting how the timelapse showed the speed difference between both machines.
Great video once again Gerry, glad the weather was with you’s and good to see you on the camera.
I saw haylage being baled today near Maynooth that was probably cut on Thursday. It was probably much drier than they’d have hoped for. Much closer to hay. Got a few clips but looking at your stuff or farmer Phil’s or any of the other channels, I’ve a long way to go. Thanks for the quality entertainment and a target to try and reach.
Good crops Gerry, we mowed then towed and bailed all in 24 hours, we didn’t spread out incase it got too dry, by the time it was bailed it was like hay! The next lot we do we will mow that morning then rake and bale! Look forward to the seeing the jf up and running 👍
Lot are mowing right in front of the mower. Getting good results. We’re not used to these conditions
Great video Gerry, nice crop of grass. You should have a mower on the front of the Deere. It would be weather now to save a bit of hay
Hi Gerry,
Lovely job done, good crop and great video as always. I mowed my own silage today Saturday evening for bailing first thing on Monday morning. You are 100% correct about the moisture in the grass. Yours looks to be bang on. Mine has the fertilizer on it just the 7 weeks. Very stoney light land here in Corofin in Galway where we are and it Burns up in that intense heat of the past few weeks and just has to be mowed. But I think it's fine though. Look forward to seeing the JF in action.😎
Looking good gerry ! I hardly wilted at all this year some was mowed on at 10 picked up at 2! Perfect stuff crazy really! I use a tarup 10x 27ft rows she loves it ! Loving forward to the jf going
Adam Walton yes no need to wilt. Most are coming in and lifting grass straight after the mower. Already too dry. The 10x a good machine
@@gerry6420 great machine! She can go I'll tell ya just a struggle to get bits now real shane
That was a great video hope you are enjoying the good weather gerry
Showing your face adds so much to the video.
nice cutting good video first time picking up double rows nice looking machine
Great video gerry!👍
Nice job,tidy work the way you have it set up.
Good job mowing Gerry, great video!
Mowing - best silage job there is. 👌👍
Some good footage. Grass looks as though it will be a good crop. See how th JF performs.
Great video Gerry i always look forward to silage season, even from afar these days in Switzerland
Fantastic video nice looking grass 👍
Saw a mower like this nearly turned over today , turns out counterbalance weights are actually needed haha
great video as always. can we see more of the DB? Used to drive one when younger and many happy memories
Marcus Richards yes myself and dad will be doing a David brown video in the coming weeks. And when hay starts she will be on the haybob
Fine looking crop we grazed ours down in march sort of regret it now wasn't as much as i hoped in the crop after weather too good!
Cheers for the t-shirt. Loving it
Dylan Reilly no problem Dylan
I love seeing the grass go down in to rows and the air con has been especially handy. It's felt hotter then it has been?
Extremely hot. Not used to it here in Ireland. Great conditions for grass work though
@@gerry6420 you got that right hope you have good season pal!
Love seeing grass cut
Watchin this over again , I love that mower so much ! Looks mint with the grouper ! Also Gerry I've spyed the j.d round baler , is it a f440 r ? , Can't wait to see it ! Your deffo winning at life Gerry , couldn't be going well for a nicer fella ! ✊✊
Never realised you had fields up by forkhill Gerry that’s around where I live
Cant beat the excitement of cutting grass, would ya ever bother with front links and pto for the 6930 and put a mower on the front would save a lot of time and a decent chunk of diesel as you are on the field for half the time, how many acres did ye now aswell?
Keep her let Gerry 💯👍
Nice vid
I fenced that field along the road! (field number 1)
Ur mower is a serious machine lad must be a dear piece of kit wit swarter
Conor Mcnamara u don’t wana know
Hi Gerry nice driving Gerry kelleher
Hello gerry........
a lot mo 🐄🐄🐄🐄in palm oil plantation, ok
You have a dead tree on the middle of the first field youll have to chop it down.
Irish Tony yes there is. It’s only a rented field and owner likes it. So I can’t chop it. 🤷♂️
Will this be the first time you are picking up double rows from the grouper in a first cut? If so it will be very interesting to see how the jf handles it, if I remember correctly you had issues picking up after the single wheel rake grouped them. Looks a lovely crop, just as well you didn't drop it to wilt any longer with it mowing so dry.
ChucklesX yes it was the first time in first cut. It worked out very well
@@gerry6420 good to hear. Some awesome feed being made in the last couple of weeks. Only problem now is if we don't get some rain shortly half of it will be needed for feed over the summer. Long range forecast was showing a good belt of rain for the end of the week but it seems to have fizzled out over the atlantic again 😕
Always nice seeing a pair of tractors working a field👍 the trailed mower looks like it least a realy nice clean cut behind behind it. What length did you leave the grass?
How anyone can dislike this video is beyond me ! Must be jealous
nice crop
Great vid fair play to ye
Great video Gerry.both tractors look mint what hours are on both tractors?
The finger Barr mower wouldn't be much use in that field lol
Well Gerry, why do you not open the field in the other direction, as in the mower tight to the ditch?
Because the round along the ditch can be thrown over on the second row in and means your not driving the silage harvester or baler out next the ditch. Give a bit more space
@@gerry6420 so will you mow that with the grouper and put it away from the ditch
We might need to get you a drone. Would be some job for Ben flying it
I know... the drone is essential. Adds a lot to videos. Looking at a Mavic 2 pro at minute. Don’t use the typhoon h drone much, I don’t trust it. It drops signal and can be temperamental. When it works it’s super but when it doesn’t you can lose 30 minutes messing with it that you don’t have. Ya need a drone with a good follow mode. That will video you and keep you in shot it self. That way I can drive away. Not easy driving and flying a drone at same time 😂 be no bother to Ben alright
@@gerry6420 Farmer Phil one looks decent.I like the idea of a sub service there getting say a video a day earlier. The 2 of you would be a good team on it. Might even pay for the drone lol. Oh and got 2 lights in sale thanks for the reviews
Great vid!! Really like your mower, how many spools dose it need to run it?
Eoin Kevin O' Mahony 2 spools. And 1 electric connection for the control box
Hi
Another great video, 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪,would love a shout out in one of your videos 👍
Hi Gerry nice video.
Why is the right hand side curtain in transport position all the time.
Good looking mowing Gerry and very handy with two mower.
What the 69 using in fuel a acre mowing ???
👍🤙
S.A.B too much 4/5?ltr a acre roughly. Maybe a bit less. I never calculated. Must measure it
gerry6420 Lol too much,, good thing its bit cheaper this year 😉!
Just Be Interesting to know...
Enjoy the warm weather Gerry 😅🥵
Grate video gerry. Lovely crope of grass how many acres have you cut. Jf will fly it 👍
Do u not use the safety flap guards on the side Incase hard object get flung out?
Do you not fold the sides of the mower out ?
Was thinking that meself
Doesn't do anything, it's only a curtain. All the blades are under the rigid section
I’m sure the answers on some of the videos already but does anyone know where to get a cab bin like the one in the 69 there?
Are u not going to tedd the grass out so IT DRYS BETTER
Don't want it too dry
Enough drying in this weather for any grass hot enough for hay
Hes making silage not hay and theres a conditioner on the mower so that'll be plenty for it
@@jerryodriscoll3691 so u THINK BY A CONDITONER ON A MOWER IT WILL DRY BETTER
John Cold it will the conditioner does and in this heat it wasn’t going to be wet anyway
Would getting a front link and mower be an idea for the 6930? In me opinion it would make more use of the big tractor while you have it and help cut everything in less time and could of gotten rid of the need of the second rear mower? Grand vid again and jealous your gotten to silage afore us😂
Luke Harcus front mower would be a good job. 69 wouldn’t use much more fuel either.
gerry6420 in a heavy crop ya might see yer sel down a gear but our 6630 Handel’s a 10ft front mower and 12 feet back mower no bother
Hi Gerry, great video. Just wondering how long did you let it wilt for and also what fertiliser did it get and how long between fertiliser spreading and cutting? sorry for all questions at once, but very interested to know how to make quality silage, thank you
Maverick mowed Friday afternoon. Lifted it following day. Hot 3000 gallons slurry per acre and 150 kgs CAN 27% per acre back in last week of March so 8 weeks later we mowed it
gerry6420 thanks Gerry, it looks like good silage. It’s getting very scientific nowadays from what I’m reading. You must get all your p and k from the slurry then. I put 2,000 gallons slurry and 1 and half bags cutsward in last week in March and cut it 12th May. I believe too much N has a negative impact on the roots. I don’t mind a bit less bulk to protect the roots. The wilting seems to be crucial now... everyday is a school day.
What width is that mower
Why not go round field anti-clockwise first lap then switch?
A lot of people leave the back stroke until last, I was always told if you are going to damage the mower on a stone or similar that got knocked out from the hedge row (usually by cattle) it's better to do it on the last round not the first. ☺
You always go that way as you can feel any stones knocked from the wall. Even seen those with front and back mowers open a field with rear only mower.
Enjoyed the video, when are you posting the ones of you picking ?
Is there a reason that one dead tree is left in the middle of the hay field
i think the field is a rented field!
It’s bad luck to cut a tree down on a field
Yes fields rented and owner likes it 👍 nothing I can do only cut round it
Do the curtains on the mower do anything or is it just for safety
Stop stones from breaking anything
@@jerryodriscoll3691 the curtain isnt that strong to stop stones flying lol
not very efficient mowing. takes years to turn around and go the other way and using two tractors when u could just put a mower on the front.
Good job gerry if ur ever selling d 64 I'd be very interested. Shes immaculate. Wud like d 69 but d bank account wudnt like it 😌
Du mähst viel zu tief 🙈
Mit unserer Grassorte können Sie tief mähen. Gras wächst danach besser 😊👍
gerry6420 ah ok wusste ich nicht
