hody21 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 The aim for the day was to get all the bales of the field and onto trailers as it had given heavy rain the following day, so they only have 3 large Marshall trailers ( sorry don't know the exact sizes ) and one small one they had to borrow 2 home made trailers from a neighboring farm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hody21 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 The trailers that wouldn't fit in the barn had to be put in the spare silage shed until they can be unloaded at a later date. This was all to much work for fly so he had a quik brew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorbob Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 your dads work puts ours to shame (how many steam cleaners do you burn out in a year ) if we cleaned ours we would be driving a shell as they would fall to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had other topics with more pics but I cant find them so assume they were lost in the forum change over some time ago. Nothing has changed really regarding the tractors apart from the Mf550 went to pastures new and was replaced by a Newholland. The current tractor fleet is now MF 390, Mf 5445 x 2, Mf399 and New Holland TD5010. I have now renamed this topic Larkton Hose Farm Pictures and will put some more pics up as and when. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hody21 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Silage 2018 is go at Larkton House Farm. My dad has also gained a new toy to play with too. Its a Krone centre pivot mower, 2013 vintage that has been very well looked after by its last owner. Its replaced the ageing Tarrup mower which will be kept for topping. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably harvest two to three cuts and some round bales too. They just decided to go for it whilst good weather was forecast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is the scraper tractor is the newest tractor on the farm. It replaced a Mf 550. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
