Smithy140 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Well since we have just bought a new forager at C & C ( courtesy of santa ) I decided to help pay for it we would do some willow hrvesting throughout the winter So i had to build a willow header, starting with a siku kemper champion and cutting a few bit off here and there. Adding a couple of bits of welding rod and some screws to couple it with the forager and bobs your uncle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Nice work Wil, that looks very tidy and a little bit different. Only ever seen one other Claas forager equipped for this task in a book I have, an older 695 Jaguar, impressive piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks guys @masseyjack590- I'm not sure yet might paint it green to match the SRC willow headers \ @05rich- I've never seen one in the flesh just thought it would be something different @walterderwent- Thanks, I have only ever seem one on the internet but saw a video of one the other day munching through nearly 5m high willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
