Tractorman810 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 well as the title says on the way back from kingsbridge today, across the other side of the valley from the main road i saw a nh?? and trailed mower cutting away in a large field, and in the field next to it was sat 3 silage trailers and a rake, so i guess they will be on pick up soon if its sat ready, anyone else close to go?? does seem a bit early to me to be honest, even for down this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Firewood chap went on last week in Italian Ryegrass, a new ley. He had the new BR7070 out to try out. I'm hoping to be buckraking towards the end of the third week of May. A week or two later than the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Just looked back at last year and the small first cut of silage last year was on 20 April, so a bit later this year as theres still no go. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 grass is ready to cut getting a decent crop so whats the big deal with it? You're right. If it's fit to cut there is no point leaving it. Although I do have to say, if there's a wet spot. . . . . Go round it! The warm weather lasted too long here but we had a bit more rain over the weekend so that may have compensated for the dry period. New Class 2800 rake in the yard as of today, time is ticking!
