A super sward of grass Graham 😍. If that doesn't make good silage you may throw your hat at it!! Be v interesting to see what difference the inoculant will make👌🇮🇪

Be interesting maybe I should be treating it all and keep a few aside to see difference but I’ve been stung with some products over the years being a bit too safe

Good video Graham, you got a great yield from the seven acres. Of course being a little late and no early grazing helps. Good luck with the hoof trimming.

Yes and grass has grew a lot in the last 3 weeks

Very interesting Graham.As you say , a tough year,not much dry silage so far.I have a lely tedder with the hook tines.Very good and you can drive fast but i think they all struggle in heavy wet crops.

Ah they will in heavy wet silage but I find the krone can give bad results in average crops sometimes

Nice stock, are they kept indoors on a finishing diet or at grass with supplementary ration? Would be interested to hear more on your grassland management, are you paddock grazing, are you moving stock frequently or giving them larger areas? Nice work!

You mean tedder not rake

Few farmers in my area have few dufferent makes.from what i saw of there work the malone is best to prevent lumps even in heavy crops.anither contractor with a sip tedder tedded out a light crop for me and it lumped it all.

Have seen a malone working look a good job whatever their like in wet and heavy crops

I use a Lely hay Tedder and it’s the same as that throws out lumps when heavy, my uncles uses a Mchale propel and is very good in heavy grass, quite expensive tho

Haven’t seen a mchale working they are all expensive now

Great video is there a tedder made to spread damp silage as for the field a run of a grass harrow would do it good

Don’t think any make will work when wet. I think ground a bit to wet for grass harrow

I have krone tedder and find them great. Most of my stuff is heavy.

Have yours got the new curved tine I’m told those are better but ours isn’t great once it gets heavy
