batcher

took my daughter down the isle at 1pm very proud but do feel old

Got a new jobby today.Back to batching concrete again

Well charly had two days blowing in trailers then back to the yard and remove a few bits So she don't blow more like drop out the bottom leaving rows behind About 100 acres ready for a mf 190 (heston size) bailer.And i have 10 acres for my round bailer tommorow all going well

This crop is to be used on farm's own wood burner

Most is three years old so it is first cut And seeing as it grows for 20 years and up to 20 feet tall not so bad really.I think there is only one variety

It did tend to bridge up at times you could hear charly bark a tad when a lump went through Reason being farly unevan crop

Here's charly

It do get taller

First day out with charly chopper So i thought i would share a few pics with you (just to get you in the mood for silage) birds eye view Only as passenger

Yes just had a look

My old falcon 5.5 will be doing her 5th season come the autum And only one main bearing go and a couple of pipes Oh and odd pipes working loose now and again So would highly recomed them

Pure beast lovely old girl to drive 4200 hrs on the clock sounded sweet as a nut shame i only did six loads but i am not going to complain Getting some speed up

Not taken a lot of notice i'm tryin to keep my distance from the foraging gang(hopefully i wont get picked)

Only when i don't get home which is a mile away

Thankfully the xtx's are gone The 185 went to germany well out the way.The 200 went to the Orkney isles within two weeks the backend went bang .The mx135 went today for the puma 155 yes all case pumas and the three mx 200s

Just plumbed into the normal tractor spool joystick she has got electric spools tho And one big mother of a buckrake will get some pics soon Your more than welcome for a look around (just give me a bell first) or you might see the boys in blue

Not sure on that one i do know it's got three ton lift and wraps around the side and meats up with the loader frame to help spread the load

Not forgetting my 155 and blocky also a 155

The rest of the team puma 180 155 Puma 165

When i got back to the yard found another new toy had arrived This is going on the buckrake .Got all the toys on her The new puma 155

Only 1200 hrs a year

All done now

Went to get my new toy today Only one small problem was in bit's And the rest of her

Things changed within a week of me posting that pic They ended up on the puma 165 for the season and had no probs Managed to do 150 acres a day on fair going on a tank of fuel 400 ltrs not bad

The chopper was the one we did the mowing and raking for so it made sense to buy it when he packed up (time will tell) Not sure what is happening with the ele grass bical went bust last nov and a new company has taken over so everything is up in the air at the mo.What i drilled last year won't be ready for a year or two but there might be some planting or patch planting to do yetYou still keeping busy then
