Gav836 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nice pictures Your North Norfolk pictures look familiar, where were they taken Alex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 outside hindringham highbarns, looking toward Binham. you can see Binham priory (the ruined church effort) in one of the photos..... saw a fair few valtras round that way.... glad you both like the photos! will do my best for some more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thought that was Binham Priory, I'm used to looking at it from a different angle though looking in that direction you actually have some of our fields in the distance in your pictures as well The Valtra's all belong to the same farmer, he's ran them for several years now, we make a habit of borrowing machinery off each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexMF Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 ive just been out for a look, im covered in stinging nettle stings and am digging thorns out of myself.... some are cubes, but some are more cuboid, but about 1.8m x 1m x1m...... strange sizes...... cant see any evidence of accumulation as for horsey talk, they smell absolutely mint! someone's pets are being well fed this winter and that's a fact! verdict?!

Dan Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 could be because they are going to wrap them so need them that size to fit the wrapper maybe nice pics always nice to see different parts off the country side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Possibly for haylage, Alex. Another possibility is that it will be repacked into vacuum packed bags of hay and this size suits the bagging machine. These would be sold for instance at equestrian stores, pet shops, farm supply etc. There is a bloke round my way who runs two bale bandits, I have seen them once or twice but have never known where or when and to have my camera with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
