DJ McKay & Son tuck into first cut!

It's been a tough start to the silage season due to the broken weather but we managed to catch up with DJ McKay & Son as they got stuck into some first cut grass before the rain really hit. We got talking to James McKay as he tested his new Volvo L90 on the pit, and chatted about what he thought of their John Deere R series and whether they'd take a notion to upgrade the harvester to a 9900i next time round...
GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to TH-cam. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating farming machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry, and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen​, we would love to have you.

Spent half a season on a new l90 with a 16ft mde buckrake which looks a bit wider than what you have. I felt like the extra width made a huge difference, because it's a bit slower climbing being able to carry that bit extra helps. I actually feel like 1st should be lower so you can actually use the torqe lockup

No side sheets 🤦🏼‍♂️
