It is spread to wilt because that field gets all the dirty water from the lagoon all winter.One heck of a cut of grass. Fertiliser next but we still have another 70 acres to chop, two more clamps.

I have a question on the first pictures i see a tedder but on the second pictures the grass is going green in the barn? Texas You're quite right Texas.The last ten or so loads are cut green because its so damn awkward to stack dry grass into and up in that last part of the shed. The green grass comes off the fork a hell of a lot easier. Also, that end of the clamp will be fed to the beef animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Great pictures there fellas,you must be one of the few boys that make silage at the bottom of the downs, most fields like that one are for arable land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 we cut the headlands first because if you get a bad man on the mower he can run the swarts into the headland and you drop the pickup next thing the swart gets caught at the side and chokes the machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 we used to take the headlands for silage on fields destined for hay so that when cut later the mainland could be cut in "cants" making much better/straighter use of the mowing turning, tedding and baleing operations especially as a lot of our field headlands were shaded by trees, delaying the drying of the outer rows which of course one needed to bale first to get at the main land. When turning the outside swathes, out, they were still away from the hedges, out in the sun,.....if we ever got any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sean, damper plate on flywheel but its also knackered the threads in the stud holes on the flywheel so new flywheel as well. would have got it back yesterday but will be picking it up tomorrow p.m. You people thought our clamp weve just done was awkward, wait until sunday when we start up again, I will show you an awkward clamp with a great big capital "A".
