farmernick06 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Saw this out and about today, didn't know how they got round to chopping down the herbs to start a new crop, assumed they disced it all. But here we go a John Deere 6220 and a bomford hedgetrimmer. Smelt dodgy down there Can anyone tell me if this is the correct way or what do you have to do?

FW Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Should have thought topping or flailing would have been easier as you can go quicker with the added width. \ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Perhaps this is just to prune to encourage new growth and not for replanting at all. What was the crop and where exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrys cat Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Could be that it was easier to use the hedger than to take it off, put the topper on, then put the hedger on again. Some hedgers are a real pain to take on and off, our McConnel is going on today and doesn't come off till we're finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Was wondering what was sowed in a field near me - now I know :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 But why not fit a flail to the front? Seems sillt to me, fair enough if you get the full width of crop..... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks guys very interesting feedback, The driver i must add is extremely experienced, he's used to using the topper a big spearhead so im not sure why he didn't do that but hes a good driver They have got at the farm a Kuhn shredder and a spearhead topper, just didn't use them \ The crop is herbs, which one im not sure. They've hac coriander and parsley in that field already i believe just couldn't figure this one \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 prehaps the toper bust, i guess as long as it does the job, its a case of job done rather than leaving it a few more days ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
