Direct Drilling Grass Seed and the Big Surprise has Arrived

In this video we are spreading fertiliser and sowing grass seed. Plus a new addition to the machinery line up on the farm.

So glad I didn't buy a case, I used to have a case 4230 & I was constantly on the road to Tobin & Cantwells (who are really good mechanics) myself, no reason why a new tractor like yours should break down! Very happy with my Claas. Hope today's rain brings on your grass!

G Day from NZ nice to see a bit of sunny weather. Middle of winter here.

Good job that resseeding but hopefully you'll get plenty of rain. We did couple of years ago and it came dry for a month. Came up a bit patchy. But if you get rain will be powerful resseed

[@johnryan4845]

We put fertiliser and watery slurry out over the reseed.

How did the new grass seeds do?

[@MCMilkingIt]

Very good once it got rain. Very clean field of lovely grass there now

[@paburke7141]

Did you spay off the field before you cut the silage

[@MCMilkingIt]

@@paburke7141 yes

[@WilliamStevens007]

Bet you shut the door on the 3cx a bit too hard???

[@MCMilkingIt]

Dad caught it driving through a gap. There were some cows behind him so he rushed out

[@WilliamStevens007]

@@MCMilkingIt Yeah I smashed one by slamming it too hard once as they are not the most sturdy of doors.

[@MCMilkingIt]

Ya the glass is just glued on

[@paulfinnan1984]

You were going for the cows after lunch? What time do ye milk in the am and pm ???

[@MCMilkingIt]

Milk at 6:00 AM and 3:00PM

How did the stitching turn out, were you happy with it?

[@MCMilkingIt]

It's coming up good but old grass getting strong. New grass should dominant after grazing I would expect. Update in next video

[@deckykelly]

After the year how have you found yhe stiching

[@olliewalsh2780]

Was the field sprayed first

[@MCMilkingIt]

Yes it was sprayed before we cut the silage

[@dykehead1]

@@MCMilkingIt Should get a good kill then

[@johnoconnell3842]

You mentioned the reseeded field got slurry. You mean before silage was cut? It certainly didn’t look like it had slurry on it when it was being reseeded. So it was not sprayed just saw fertilizer and lime?

[@MCMilkingIt]

It got a bit of slurry after silage but it was fairly watery stuff

What's the app your using for guidance?
