Depends if you want any barley left to go in your trailers or bales .Most will end up on floor .Use a straight disc mower.

I wouldn't and didn't when i grew some !

When we hired a jf we generally unbolted the conditioner before it fell off or ruined the belts.

Always cut mine with a straight cut disc mower.

Heard of someone doing that, the barley stayed in the field.

You want this! Grasshopper mowers tough as old boots and no conditioner.

Hmmm
It'll be fine, the HSE dont look at the farming Forum

Ok what about raking the barley for bailing?

An Acrobat type that rolls the swath over will be kinder than a rake rotor which will bash the grain out as above.

Only way for whole crop get someone in with a wholecrop header on a spfh.
They will do it for feck all money anyhow .

Can do it with a rotor rake just have to keep the revs as low as possible, last time I did any had the ford 7810 on the rake engine speed at 1050 in 540 speed rotors lifted as high as possible too to avoid stones

simples just take a narrow swath if forager carnet take it

20ft was to much for tw35 and a nh890

What's the side knife for, killing 2 birds and doing the hedges?

This is how they do it in parts of the USA for whole corp wheat . Cut the wheat April time sow Corn (maize) cut that late August September re sow wheat .

This is how we do it.
Always used' home n dry' ,
But can't afford the expense this time.
Probably cut it greener with an additive, undersown with grass this time for EFA.

Love the look of that with the side knife! Sod HSE

All grass seed here is mown with disc mowers. Guards and everything dismantled as they'll knock the seed off.

Urea is pretty cheap. Would that do it? I used to do that with grain harvested for crimping to preserve it.

It's the magic ingredient (eurase) that takes some getting hold of.
