Cumbrian Silage 2024. Mowing the lush grass fields with a NH T7.210 and Krone trailed mower.

A lovely bright day (haven’t been too many so far this summer!) to watch a brand new New Holland T7.210 and Krone Easycut TS 320 CV dropping a fine first crop of grass.
Very colour coordinated this one, with blue sky with white clouds to match the NH and the green/ yellow colour scheme of the Krone was the perfect match to the pasture.
After all the grey cloud and rain of the previous few weeks (if you look in the distance you can see a waterlogged spring barley crop) it was so pleasant to be out filming under blue skies and the smell of the lush grass was so refreshing.
Also refreshing was the fact that the NH was operating a trailed mower/ conditioner as this type of machine is less common now seen as front/rear combinations and triple butterfly setups now seem to be the more popular choice but the 3.2mtr cut (10ft 6in in old money!) Krone knocked down a lot of grass that day and I was lucky to get along the following day to watch it being picked up by a Claas Jaguar 75 trailed forager. (Video to follow soon)

Good evening David, and hope that as usual your well. I can now see where my one day of good weather has went, as you appear to have dragged it down to Cumbria, although I am sure I shared some of the dark clouds and rain with you too. 😂. That looks like a great crop of grass and being cut just at the correct stage too, and I am sure it will make some great forage. Loved seeing the New Holland T7.210 which I love the sound of, which I think is because I hear my neighbours so much as although he has a mixed fleet of New Holland and Claas tractors, he has about 6 x NH T7 210s and has just added 2 x NH T7 230s. The Krone mower was sure working well, and considering the density of the crop, both machines were just having a simple ride in the park and able to keep the pace without trying. Are there many farmers down your way still using trailed mowers, as up here we never seem to see many now that everyone has front linkage/PTOs. Thanks as always David from a wet and windy Aberdeenshire. Cheers, Fraser.
