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!

What a fleet💪😍 it's cool to see 3 trailed harvesters in one field😁👍 you don't need brand new equipment to get the job done, awesome video guys👍👍

@Grassmen Год назад

Thanks Simon , it took a bit of effort to make it happen but defo worth it ! Yeah well maintained older kit can get it done too !

@richardparkinson8651 Год назад

Loving the old school silage,great to keep these old tractors in everyone's minds,❤ and don't forget the old 3650s

@jakeluff8067 Год назад

There is always room for old school. It’s the same as the older, wiser workers. You need them.

@alanyoung7655 Год назад

Great video .... I personally don't make pit silage but love seeing these tractors and choppers at work.... wish you guys could come too my girlfriends at silage time... her father buckrakes with a 390 with a removable cab... my girlfriend leads trailers with a 4000 series massey ferguson... and possibly the most amazing thing is my girlfriends mother drives a ford 7740... pulling a claas 51 forager and she is around 75 yrs old!!!...plus 2 single axle 6 ton marshall silage trailers ...the definition of old school...👍

@davidcummins1108 Год назад

Fantastic video guys. I would agree with what the lads point on some people considering going back to maybe doing their own silage with these sort of outfits. Some parts of the country some lads have got out of the contracting game this year which means some outfits are covering large areas now and not getting to farmers when they want their silage done. Interesting times ahead.

@tdolan500 Год назад

One of my biggest criticisms of Grassmen is the lack of talk about money, costs etc. really glad to hear it on this video.

@Grassmen Год назад

We are happy to talk about our costs. But we feel when we are with other people that its personal to them. If they choose to talk about costs thats on them but we tend not to ask as unless they volunteer.

@tdolan500 Год назад

@@Grassmen I understand that and I understand that the price of machinery can be very dependent on who’s buying and when but there seems to be a vail of secrecy industry wide when it comes to what companies are charging farmers. As an example; I was curious what one of those new Pottinger Wagons retail at and I can’t find a price anywhere even to ballpark it. Seems like no one wants to publish the cost of machinery that’s current and I don’t think that’s really the case in any other industry.

@kennyprice2 Год назад

A totally awesome line up & vid, lovely sounds. Really wish l was back in the cab from early morning to whatever. Just one wish please please clean up the FENDT, a really super tractor drove 1 for years. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😜

@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9 Год назад

You can get lower hour old machines and put em in the field and just go. The new ones require service technicians with computers to get back going so you'll still go down it just comes down to how much you want to spend. We are running around 2k acres hay and silage bales both our own and custom. We are running new implements but our newest tractor is a 2012 and the oldest is 09 and we really like be right in there where you are new enough for easy part sourcing but old enough that you don't have to many sensors to deal with. Great video

@waynesmith9997 Год назад

I would love to see you guys do more trailed harvesters maybe something like a lely storm or kemper 2000 or 3000

@ianhaggart1438 Год назад

Keep em coming folks. Cracking job on the vid. Great set up and will look on to see that crystal being tested. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you , we will try our best , stay tuned ! The Crystal is defo creating a lot of interest ! We’ve a few more plans for her 👍

@georgemontgomery8847 Год назад

We use old kit, it’s cheap and rusty but it works! I think the mengele got picked up for a few hundred quid. Just wish I had more ponies under the bonnet.

@FUBAR666 Год назад

excellent footage , for me the best tractor in that line up is without a doubt the Genesis , stance , sound everything an absolute tool . really pleased you didnt slate the Crystal too much theres one thing i like about your reviews , straight to the point , thanks for the honesty Gary . a truth review , for some reason im so pleased you liked it and thought it was a good simple tractor and comfortable as well , id like to see it put through a bit more hard work just to see how it comes out .Do you not think the days of a man finishing a days graft and actually being able/bothered to do little bits and pieces to an older outfit i think those kind of men are getting few and far between , which is a crying shame it really is .

@Grassmen Год назад

Thanks for your comment Micheal, we appreciate the feed back ! The Genesis is just a legend of a tractor 👍. We are pleasantly surprised by the Zetor as a machine and we will hopefully get her onto the Mex 6 and double mowers now as well as the 2500 gallon tanker 👍

@kitbuilder123 Год назад

But answer this, would ye agree that you'd have better quality silage in the winter? You can set your chop length as you like, more flexibility in the day you cut, more time to look after the pit as it goes in and make sure its rolled and clamped properly. A cooperative between a few neighbours with regard to purchasing equipment and id say youd definitely end up with better quality cow fuel as Gary called it

@holbrook134 Год назад

Is it possible for you to go through the process of getting your grass ready to cut,ground prep weed reduction,seeding I would like to see a show almost like a class getting grass to this quality

@grahamhowland566 Год назад

I’m a fan of the blues and especially the TM but you’re dead right in saying all the tractors of that era were great machines with just enough tech to be comfortable to work all day but none of the adblue/dpf nonsense or gps/computer screens to go wrong and add to the cost 🚜🛠👍🏼

@oneillagrivideos Год назад

I'd much prefer to see older kit working and to use older kit than the new stuff

If u got two or three local lads together u could do ur own silage with that sort of machinery!

@TractorChamp. Год назад

Hi guys. These days farmers and contractors should really check there expenditure. Those old tractors and tech are awesome. Really enjoyed your video. Can you guys maybe get a Deutz Fahr tractor to demo. ? How is the Zetor fuel consumption?

@aidanquinn5498 Год назад

Great job fair play, I’d do a MF 698t 699 on a JF 900.

@jasondavies4887 Год назад

Ford 7810 turbo or 8210 turbo or TW15 on a flywheel chopper and couple 7840sle carting on trailers would be mint

@bwarey52 11 месяцев назад

A few might go back to chopping their own but I think the wagon will be the option for a lot. Reduced labour and with the chop length of the new one's it's no longer comprising

@RichardWright4707 Год назад

I agree with Gareth there is a place for diy silage especially for the smaller family units that tend to be pushed down by big contractors who favour big customers we make haylage to sell and do everything ourselves so we cut when the crops are ready not when someone else says they maybe able to fit us in

@DonegalTDI Год назад

One of those harvesters has a great spout, one seems to be spout challenged. Never good to be short of the spout 😁😁 Serious entertainment watching that older fleet flexing in anger, even for the sound. Friend of mine had a tractor that whistled. Modern rallying and F1 has become as boring as watching paint dry compared to watching the older yokes that took skill to keep on the road. Constant rising prices for farm machinery is going to impose a bit of sense on the whole thing, the Exchequer running over the hill with half our diesel money in his pocket and the tree huggers trying to shut us all down as well.

Actually have been chatting to a few guys on the shows stands this year are going that way ! It won’t suit everyone but it will be an option guys may be considering !

@jeffjefferson3364 Год назад

I think you'll see more happening like this as more farmers and especially larger dairy farmers move towards multi cut silage systems. You cant wait a week for a contractor in multicut. If its wet Monday Tuesday and dry Wednesday Thursday, you can't wait on the list you've got to go. The difference on 100ac of grass cut a week later is going to cost you 1.5-2ltrs a cow eating about 15kgs Dm of grass silage. 1tonDM/ac, so that's 60cows/ac or 90-100ltrs x 40p is £36-40/ac x100 is 3600-4000/cut, 7 cuts in multi cut is £25-28000/year. That's from waiting for 1 week longer on each cut to cut

@oakfarmagricultural506 Год назад

With the money and complexity of new machinery right now I think alot of people are going back to the old kit, there is such a huge void in the price its a no brainer, most farms already have tm140 sized tractors so buying a 5k chopper and maby 10k worth of second had trailers is a very cost effective option these days
