    AMAZING. I inherited a small field and I'm always trying to figure out how to maintain it without busting the bank - and I constantly look at flails mowers and anything really that might pop up. DELIGHTED to see your video pop up for a suggestion. I have been enjoying your content since you sealed up the old house (field also has a dilapidated barn). Always appreciated your content.

    All Krone mowers have Safecut beds and full shaft drive line!, so no chance of doing any damage when topping, also you can mow heavy grass for silage or hay too.

    I do most of my topping with a mower but bought a second hand flail topper for rough ground and for cutting back rushes

    Absolutely agree with you One Hunder Percent on the Mower vs Topper Scenario Adrian . Weve a 1980 Krone 9 foot mower (did have a conditioner on it ) conditioner packed in around 2003 ended up chopping it out the back and keeping the mower itself and top rushes and paddocks/fields with it . To be fair its getting past its best now and are on the look out for a cheapish disc mower . So here's hoping I can find one as good and lasts well enough

  • @rhysmoorehead6364

  • @aaronringland9671

    As for the case hi speed starter the only way to go. Mine like many others had the bosh starter turns to slow when cold. Also I have a jf sb2400 great mower. Only problem I have is it doesn't fold in neat. Hangs out a bit. But defo a gear reduction starter the way to go.

  • @DN-ij4pk
    @DN-ij4pk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @iarlanolan2409
    @iarlanolan2409 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Mower is better than topper defintley. But I have to say if u sharpen ur topper before every paddock u will get good results. We got 12 jerseys last year ( non selective graders) took the topper out twice during the summer.

  • @BrunyeeSalers
    @BrunyeeSalers 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was told that toppers shred the edge of the grass leaf, a mower with SHARP blades leaves a clean cut edge. It’s all about respiration or transportation of moisture from the grass leaf.

    I disagree with most people's thought. That u cant top rough ground with a disc mower. U can top any type of ground with a disc mower u may have to drive slowly. But iv topped the roughest of ground with a disc mower. Iv toped fur bushes with a disc mower she can top on any type of ground if u slow down and keep a good eye on wat ur doing. Disc mower all day long

    Oh wow! The sun was shining! The mower blades are only sharp if you keep them sharp. It is important to check the blades often to make sure that you have a good edge on your blades. Can you tell us about greasing the moving parts on your mower? What does keeping the grass fresh have to do with the sugar content in the grass, Adrian?

    I'd agree that the disc mowers are much better and your dead right they aren't that delicate i was only about a month behind the wheel of a tractor before i got sent topping and I batterd it off the ground and got stones cuaght up in it a few times cause i hadn't a clue at the time what I was at and the mower was perfectly fine after.
