Anyone got one?
Anyone got one?
My regenerative grassland has three yrs growth on it, i need to chop that ready for ploughing.U startin to look at cost cuttin? Possibly be better in the classic machinery section
Thats selling fertilityWhy not cut it and bale it. The way fert prices are goin itl be worth a few pound more than it costs to bale next winter plus ul have a nice clean surface to plough instead of blowin it out the spout and tryin to bury it which will only be a hash
do a full blown blogg on baling it!Thats selling fertility
Rotovator would just chokeWhy not use a rotavator at a depth of 25mm using a three blade rotor configuration and standard “L” shaped blades.
That way you will part the roots from the leaf at the growing point - almost as good as using glyphosate
Thats plan bIf you can get 3 years worth of grass through a double chop you'll be left with a badly cut, uneven stubble covered in lumps of badly chopped grass. I'd rather try ploughing it down without cutting it
mob stock it and heavy. i would if i were closer as im running out of keep....My regenerative grassland has three yrs growth on it, i need to chop that ready for ploughing.

Find a contractor with a decent flail /mulcher topper,a double chop will not cut it any better and in reality if it’s that thick/dence then your not going to get it up the shoot unless you go painfully slowMy regenerative grassland has three yrs growth on it, i need to chop that ready for ploughing.

Our flail topper has got full hammer flails, it will knock it right down but it leaves a dense carpet of matter, I would say it would plough in then, the sooner you do it, then it is breaking downFind a contractor with a decent flail /mulcher topper,a double chop will not cut it any better and in reality if it’s that thick/dence then your not going to get it up the shoot unless you go painfully slow
