Watched a recently posted you tube video of grassmen using a merger machine for gathering grass into a row.sorry i can't post the link for the want of knowing.
Maybe wrong thread, but do lads think they will replace the rake?rakes can be less than ideal in less than suitable ground conditions. Wet/soft ground,stoney ground,rough dry ground
I'm sticking with a rake, them mergers are mad money and no farmer is going to pay the extra it costs to run one.Watched a recently posted you tube video of grassmen using a merger machine for gathering grass into a row.sorry i can't post the link for the want of knowing.

Is this the video, it looks a good job but are probably a lot more expensive than a rake, I like what he says about how they keep the muck out of the grass
Daniel o Donnell or the woman’s heart just wouldn’t sound right playing over a fleet of silage machinery being filimed by a droneNothing worse than a rave/techno track over a tractor video, normally let’s me know it’s a pile of shite recorded by some teenager.
I don't put any "noise" over my drone shots unless I'm close enough to record the sound of the machines. Trouble is no "noise" gets a bit boring.Daniel o Donnell or the woman’s heart just wouldn’t sound right playing over a fleet of silage machinery being filimed by a drone
theres a reason i call our nh 644 the "Stone Chucker"I wouldn’t be to convinced about the keeping muck or stones out of it, I know the rake will sweep them in but a baler pick up will gather a lot of dirt and send plenty stones flying too if conditions are bad enough that the rake will so I can’t see how the merger would be any different,
To be honest @Alfie I rarely use a tripod but Im using a Panasonic 4k/hd camcorder for all my videoing and only us the Nikon for photos. I have used a tripod more lately especially for the filming of the DVD's as I dont want any unwanted shakes or drops in them but an unintended consequence of this has been as Im turning to follow a machine passing I give the leg of the tripod a kick and there goes a good clip ruined. I still perfer filming with out the tripod but I see it as a necessary evil. Im using a fairly cheap Manfrato all in one tripod, I will get the model number when Im home tomorrow after tonights graveyard 12 shift. It was cheap and cheerful and does the job I want it to do. Harvey Normans finest 18 months ago if my memory is correct, about the same time I bought the drone. Nothing at all fancy.@thorpe If you don't mind me asking, do you hand hold or use a tripod with fluid head for video ?
I've tried handheld with the Nikon but it's not always easy to be smooth, especially if also zooming in or out.
I have a tripod but it doesn't really work with a 3way head, I'm considering a fluid head for it but not sure if I'd use it much.
Personally I’d rather hear the machines and a small interlude if some innate background ‘Muzak’Daniel o Donnell or the woman’s heart just wouldn’t sound right playing over a fleet of silage machinery being filimed by a drone

@jaydee still some of the best videos on YouTubeJust watching a bit of farmflix there last night and one of the videos was of them trying out a Wilson bale trailer.
Said it belonged to John Doherty and a cvx was baling with a fusion. Wonder would it be jaydee that used to post here? He had some great pictures and videos. He had a lovely jd 6930 and mx case as well iirc.
