In this video, Tom visits the Yorkshire Dales to see Swale Hall chopping their first cut silage. A group of friends and neighbours come together with a mixture of classic and modern machinery to harvest the grass on Brown's family farm.
At the heart of the action is a trailed but self-propelled Reco Mengele harvester - a rare and unusual machine still hard at work in the Dales!
Find out why working together as a team remains so important to this group and hear how farming has changed for them over the past 40 years.

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 YouTube. 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!
