unkelfergus Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 blimey thats not easy to get into is it :D not thought of going in via the open end where them pallets are have you? Bloody awkward which ever way you look at it Sean,its a pole barn at the pallet end and youve still got poles in the way. It was a bit easier with the 526S we had before this one. As you can see I have modified the entrance and gained another foot or so width. Is that down at bottings?

unkelfergus Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yesterdays is the worst i have ever come across, but being such a small lump its all done and dusted in a day. I have just about got used to having metal, asbestos and concrete to scrape the loadall on. It certainly makes a change when we do the maize, and put in the outside clamp.

MJB1 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 good going chap , glad to see awkward clamps are still used along with modern fast machines , got to have yer wits about you although looks like you have the right machine for the job. i used to buckrake in 6 bay dutch barn double, with 5 uprights every 15ft down the middle it was a real pain , not so bad with a rear mount buckrake as pretty manuverable , but when the front linkage was used it was an awfull barn to fill ! had to keep the grass heaped right up around them else you manage to get one of them uprights caught between the front & rear wheels you'd had it tried rolling too close with a 2640 once & got it jammed against the cab , not too bad but it was against the door side oops :D great pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 we used to fill a pit with grass it was 120 feet by 20 feet , and you had to reverse down (10 tonne trailers )the buckrake driver had to come out all time a very angry man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkelfergus Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 On to the wrapped stuff today, wrapper worked like a dream The baler wasnt too bad either, after one or two netwrap refusals !! First load waiting to go. A bit of wrapping. Finishing cuts. The second to last bale. Old lady and wrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 What make is the wrapper? I think it was Reco that built one similar to that, then there was the Parmiter one that worked on a similar principal. Great thing with those wrappers is the bale can't fall off the turntable.
