Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Are you putting silage in to a pit that hasn't been cleaned out and full of slurry/water? Nice to see an older tractor on a modern rake too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see an older tractor on a modern rake too. :D :D the pit lay open for about 2 and a half days and rain started on us, also there was layers of spuds lashed into the silo and the bosses son decided to roll the pit, the spuds had no gras covering them at this stage and he crushed most of them turning then into more or less water which didnt help matters much : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke DeWitt Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Great pictures, how dows the haybob work? It looks like a tedder but the tines are upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intey 434 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Great pictures, how dows the haybob work? It looks like a tedder but the tines are upside down. the tines are on a sprung pin, whenever you turn on the pto the speed flicks them out, this then catches the grass....if you understand me? hard to explain \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey Boy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 That grab looks great how much did it cost you to make if you dont mind me asking ? I dunno but i would think it would be cheaper to buy a new one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intey 434 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 never used a mig if im honest she'll look the biz when all painted, and ideas on colour hopefully! prob red but dad was talking about a red body and the grabing arms yellow? any suggestions?

I dunno but i would think it would be cheaper to buy a new one?? wel cerin a new grab was avreaging in around 800pound, then on top of this was the hitch for the loadal which is another 100-200 pounds started our own grab, the steel cost 180 pounds, then we had to get pins and bushes, this cost 100. w had an old loader lying up the back so we used the ram off it. the hitch only cost 80 pounds from a local steel fabricator. in total the grab cost 360 \ a big differnce from 900 :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
