Nice video but the bloke mowing needs shaking up fairly seriously as can't mow around electric poles or outsides of fields very well. I was always told when I started mowing that any grass left uncut will quickly go to seed and will not grow after that and will be virtually no interest to cattle at that point so mow everything to keep it productive

TBF that pole has a wire stay coming off it and perhaps the mowers are new and he didn’t want to trash them in the hedgeline?
