We could watch this all day…

You wait all day for a combine harvester to arrive and two show up at once…

Yesterday we featured a drone video that showed townies how silage is made and it proved to be extremely popular with our readers. Check it out here if you missed it.

Today, we’ve got a look at two more cracking drone videos of silage being cut, proving that cutting grass on a massive scale with heavy machinery can be surprisingly hypnotic.

It sure beats pushing a FlyMo up and down your back garden.

First up, we’ve got a look at the good folk from Brennans Agri Contractors of Leighlin cutting silage in Carlow. Make sure to watch it in HD and it wouldn’t hurt to put some headphones on as it features a great tune.

Next is a video for the farming enthusiasts who are into retro motors, as we’ve got a look at two vintage Mercedes-Benz MB-trac 1500 tractors, owned by Tom Fitzmaurice in Ballyroe near Tralee.

It’s a bit like watching agri-ballet.

Video recorded and edited by Jamesie Lynch. Check him out on YouTube and Facebook.
