Cumbrian Silage 2024. Three different MF & mower combinations plus a MF tedding outfit.

Three Massey Ferguson mowing outfits on two farms, all filmed on the same morning and within a stone-throw of each other.
The first two, an MF 8S.305 and a MF 7724S both belonged to a large dairy farm and were both knocking down the grass for 2nd cut silage with massive Krone Easy-cut triple mowers.
A few fields away at a stock farm were a lovely 20-year old first generation MF 6475 Dynashift mowing for first cut big bale silage with a Claas Disco 320 mounted disc mower/conditioner. Also in the field was the farms MF 6120 turbo (lovely sounding tractor) travelling on wide terratyres kicking out the dropped grass with a Malone Tedd-air 570 tedder manufactured in Co.Mayo on the west coast of Ireland (rare in this area but i imagine very popular in its home country).
A very changeable day weather wise with the possibility of rain not far away but the risk paid off and the next day was nice and sunny (even though as usual it rained in the afternoon) and I was lucky to be able to film the baling and carting action the next day.
Filmed in Cumbria 2nd June 2024.
