We called back to Kevin Meade and some things have changed since our last visit. A new black Massey 8740S with the BIGGEST mowers in Ireland but does Kevin prefer them over the Big M? A John Deere harvester has entered the fleet. And A & W Trailers' Terra Ferma 24 triaxle trailer is out on demo. Let's see how the team get on with their new toys!

GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to RU-vid. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

Bog Oak -- Ground Penetrating Radar To Scan For Bog Oak Near The Surface Bog Oak could potentially damage the mowers resulting in very expensive repairs. If the fields were scanned with ground penetrating radar before being mowed and any Bog Oak near the surface is removed it would save what could potentially be very very expensive repairs to the mowers when cutting silage. This applies to all crops not just silage fields. Possible reduction in insurance payments if fields are scanned for Bog Oak with ground penetrating radar before the mowers cut the grass. Above is a very simple straight forward procedure that could potentially save very very expensive repairs to mowers and other farm machinery.

Right... DISCLAIMER: I'm just a farm simulator idiot. Can someone tell me what I'm missing. These forage harvesters like the Krone cost - a lot. You don't tedder the grass after mowing, it looks like you mow, windrow, pickup dump at bunker. If I was doing that on farm sim, i'd have a front mower and a forage harvester trailer. The front mower is only as wide as the tractor and is a perfect width for the pickup on the trailer. It's way cheaper on machinary, uses less men, and you do less passes on the field. This video: Tractor with big mower. Tractor with windrower. Forage harvester emptying into multiple Tractor trailers. 3 stages. Lots of kit Me: 3.1m front mower, Strautmann Magon pickup, tractor. 2x, 3x this and it's less stages. The mower is smaller but you skip the windrowing and the very expensive krone overall it's similar time just way way cheaper. Now, I know that sounds like me saying 'i know better...' But really I'm curious why in the real world this doesn't seem to be true? Or use a DISCO 9700 RC AUTO SWATHER. to at least skip windrowing.
