Been busy mowing and baling last week making the most of the sun. Out mowing on Saturday and there were a couple of people with drones messing about. had a chat with them and got them to send me some footage. Was working close to home so wife and boy came out to see me. Quite pleased with the video I was sent! Rich_Tractor_1080. mp4.mp4 Rich_Tractor_1080. mp4.mp4

Just a bit of bale carting and stacking

Looks far better than the S**t I baled in surrey yesterday!

Thank you!

That's the one thank you, although I had to join the group to view the post so not sure where I saw it originally.....

A couple of weeks ago there was a post about the Britains Benac bale trailer which included an image of the real machine from a brochure. I can't find the original post, can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Nice to finally have some dust coming off baler again after 3 weeks of no sun!

Thanks for the pictures, I don't think I will buy either these latest two models but a 3690 would be a different matter. I made a 3680 a few years ago using a Britains bonnet and Ertl cab but wouldn't mind a UH 3690 too. Fantastic real tractor to drive!

That would be great, thank you.

I would be interested to see a couple of comparison pictures showing the UH 3080 and 3120 side by side, can anyone on here do this?

Yes, we do a lot of 'environmental' cut and clear work that is supposed to promote wild flower meadows. We cover an area with radius of about 25 miles with traffic being the biggest enemy!

Photos in the above post (forgot to add this text to the post!) are not from today, but have been sorting through photos and added a selection from this summer. Some dry baling, some very wet baling, some awkward baling and some nice views. Seems a long time ago now although only did last bit of baling in the middle of November.

Not today (a bit wet again) but a few from the last couple of weeks.

Quality of the photos is just because of a fancy new phone! I'm impressed as well!

At last some decent weather so have been busy mowing and baling again. Mowing pictures taken on Saturday morning just after 6.30 am a lovely morning/day. Cut over 100 acres by 3pm and needed 50 litres more diesel to finish and get home.

Stacking haylage.....

We hope to do the same at the end of the week, more rain forecast for tomorrow though. Looks like your mowers have got under the grass well considering how flat it looks. Most of our grass was still standing until a week ago before a day of torrential rain. We use front and rear krone 3.2m mowers without conditioners and the same tedder and Krone rakes. They seem to be virtually indestructible (tree stumps and manholes exempted!)What do you think of the Krone kit?

Not a bad crop then. I have memories of using an older John Deere belt baler as the first round baler I used. Great in hay and straw but awful in silage, grass would get wrapped round roller too easily. Yours obviously doesn't behave like that. Now use a new JD F440 baler which will bale anything in any condition!

On holiday near Berwick this week with the wife and 6 year old boy. Skinny dipping in the sea followed by haggis and chips. Does this make us proper Northerners? Came across this advert in an old copy of Scottish Farmer that was lying around.

The buildings that have been converted looked really smart, we didn't stop for any food as we'd had breakfast in the cafe that overlooks the lido about an hour earlier.

Wife and I were there two weeks ago. We are walking the South West Coast Path a bit each year having started in Poole a few years ago. This trip started at Bigbury and ended 4 days later at Looe, we had similar weather to your photographs. The day into Plymouth was a long one, 15miles done by Mount Batten and still had another 5 to go to get to the other side of the water where we were staying for the night. Such a varied walk. Is your first picture taken from around the old dock yard?

Mowing 14 hours yesterday and 10 hours today. Had my boy with me for a while, he enjoyed himself. Cant believe he's starting school in a weeks time! Where did 4 and a half years go? A picture from 4 years ago to finish off with! Baling tomorrow, for as long as the weather holds. On a separate point I was pleased to receive my Schco Dutra tractor in the post today - thought I had missed out on getting one however after some searching found one for sale in Belgium.
