Smithy140 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 last one for now. one of skeggs straw's tractors. another jd 6630 and claas liner 380. they were moving oat straw on the headlands ready for baling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 we haven't left any straw in the swaff for a long time because the last time we did this happened. we decided to this year but i think we will carry on as we do still get paid for it whatever happens. as soon as the straw comes out the back of the combine its thier responsibiltiy. that there policy. they have been very good to us really. as I said when they bale the oat straw they're picking it up immediatley. bit of relief if its not your loss. nice collection pf pictures again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Again some nice updates there. A good harvest so far then by the looks of things, fire aside. I went into wheat on Wed, didn't do anything yesterday and going again today. Another chap this way, big contractor has had a bad start with a large acreage even with four Lexions! Only finished rape yesterday I think it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 yeah it has been a good harvest. all our wheat so far has averaged 4ton a acre. as I said though we have bben so lucky as other parts of the country are still in barley and rape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Some good pics of your very tidy machinery - looks like a good operation you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Some good pictures of your very tidy machinery - looks like a good operation you have there. well we do try if it had been a couple of years ago it wasn't as good to be honest. its much better as we have updated a fair bit of main machinery in the past year we finished harvest tonight. we finished on a bit of spring barley for someone else and the picture says it all. the first one is the bits we had to leave. the second (poor quality i know) is the last bit goging in the combine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 A nice topic this is, Will. Modest machinery on a well farmed farm by the looks of it. So that's it for another year harvest wise is it? What will you do with yourself?! Do you direct drill yourself or will a contractor be brought in for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got plenty to do for the next frotnight discing and rolling before I go back to school for my last year. our neighbouring farmer John Gaymer is coming in this year with his cat 765b (pictures will be taken) and subsoiler to drill it but next year we are going to have a go with our newly purchased kebble brothers cultivator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
