A couple of questions about the britains big bales....
SMurF replied to JC's topic in Britains Farm Models
What you would usually do about bale lenghth is double the width as per bricks so they stack together But for silage bales you would normally do squared so they wrap easily -
Did they have any problems with steering the tt's in wet conditions this year as I have heard a few stories that they would just go straight if the going got wet at the ends of the runs \ One farmer near by only got a 580 tt this year after being so impressed with a demo last year and traded in his old one which was wheeled Had it back for a while whilst doing his OSR as for what I stated above And had no problems with it When on the wheat he went back to the tt and had no more problems \

Shame on you Just hang over the front of the laverda and you can see everything but i bet it had a cab \ The deutz's are a decent combine, a neighbour swears by them He's on his fifth i think and not due to breaking them they just get bigger They used to make the biggest one in europe if i remember correctly untill the likes of Claas's lexion came about with monsterouse header sizes

This may be a strange question How many balers where in the field as there is a round bale in a picture, a conventional baler with old type sledge and the loader is putting up flat 8 Do you put the bales into 8's manually \ or was there another baler with flat 8 sledge somewhere \ Nice pictures though

I love doing the combineing Think it is the best job on the farm as it a job that takes lots of consentration on multiple things all at the same time But I will be glad to see the end of it this year as the weather aint bin too good and the grain quality is diabolical with tonnage way down on what it should be, In some cases a third of expected amount Still Mussent Grumble the overtime is lurvley

Slower day today as the sun didn't show its face at all Got the bales cleared off 2 fields and then went for a little bit of combineing as the moisture content was acceptable and dampness had cleared up only did about 9 acres as it started getting damp again Still tommorrow is only a night away Only another 10 acres of wheat left to do and then some time 12 acres of beans \

Now this is a strange thing but does anyone know of a machine that collects bales that are dropped on the floor (and don't say a sledge or a flat because this thing was on another tractor and seemed to be tieing them up because a tele loader came along and picked up the bundle without any fancy grab it was in the distance but i was watching it whilst combineing and wondering if i was seeing things \ \

Same as yesturday Another 15 acres off the total Going to be a decent weekend according to the weather people so should make good inroads as the bloke who helps out at night will be with me for 3 whole days so i won't have to rush arround moveing trailers and unloading them Combineing all the way ;D ;D

16 acres in 6 hours not bad for me terrible crop though not going to weigh well as the grain is all shrivelled and light and had to go towards the quality side more than the quantity side which means to say loss of shrivelld grains as not to get a load of chaff in the sample "BUGGER" still it is only the start things can only get better Fingers crossed
