Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 The next event I captured on film...well, memory card really, was the carting and clamping of some bought in clamp silage. Its just something to keep the cows going and to feed the young cattle that are still under cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Next we have some silage raking and baling. The tractor is a 10 plate NH T6080 with the sidewinder 2 armrest and quite a few other gizmos. First raking Now baling Sadly i didnt get any pictures of the wrapper tractor but if you have access to the January 2009 edition of Classic Tractor you will see the tractor, a Ford 7840, in the field comparison. A restoration story was also published in an earlier edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Now for the Clamp silage. First off we have one of the mowing tractors: our Ford 7610 with our Taarup 307 mower. The other mower was the contractors New Holland TM165 with a newer Kuhn mower but i couldnt get any pictures as I was riding on our tractor. Before the start Mowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Now we come to the foraging. This year we had a change as one contractor was doing all of the work. The foraging tractor was a New Holland T6080 with a new Pottinger mex6 trailed harvester. My uncle provided one trailer with the farms new New Holland TM155 and the contractor provided the other, a NH TM140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 The final operation is of corse clamping. This was being carried out by the new NH T6080 featured baling on the last page with a front mounted push off buckrake. At times, mainly up in the roof of the shed on the last day, my uncle helped him out with our loader tractor and another helper went on trailer cart. By this time there was a lot of road work involved and the trailer team had been joined by the NH TM165. One from outside And the rest under cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Finally, a bit of a departure from the rest of the topic. After taking many of the silaging pictures with my phone, I was looking through them and found these two pictures that were already on the memory card I had borrowed from my uncle. The first is of the tractor he drove for a contractor in i think 2005 or 2006. Its a New Holland TM175 working with a New Holland BB940A baler. The contraption on the rear is a Browns able accumulaor that can group bales in pack of 2 or 3 The second is of the NH T7030 he got as a replacement in 2008. This picture shows it after 3 or 4 days of work hauling silage from a Claaas forager Thats all for now. Any questions or comments welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF-ROB Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 i love the Ford 7610 and the 307 mower nice set up could i cut a few acrers for you on the next cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Nice photos Tommy. I see Fords kept hold of the Webcox trailers then? They were trialling them one year when I was buckraking on a farm the other side of Chippenham from you and Fordy put two tractors on with us for a long haul. They look like very very good trailers, if a little low in capacity for 14t and the fact they wiegh 6.5t empty. They don't look like they'll wear out very quickly though! Nice mowing photos with the older machinery, draws a nice comparison to the new stuff run by the contractor. How is your new tractor doing?

Tommy Gough Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Blimey, bit of time since I last updated this. Cheers for all the comments guys and sorry about not thanking you a bit earlier. Have got some more photos to upload from Maize 2011 and some older pictures I've been scanning and they will hopefully be within the next week. Wont bother with 2nd Cut silage photos as they are pretty much the same as 1st cut . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Gough Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 The weekend after the maize a decision was made to try and get a bit of late silage made. This was third cut on two fields and second cuton the last one. This was being done on the 14th and 15th of October (cut and tedded out on the 14th and raked and baled on the 15th). Not many pictures of the mowing, baling or wrapping but the kit used for these tasks was: our own Ford 7610 and mower ( as seen earlier in this topic), a NH T6080 on a NH BB930 baler and a NH TM165 with a Kuhn wrapper. On with the few pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Bit of night time collecting And getting the final few bales on the Sunday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 We also ploughed up about 40 acres last year and planted some winter wheat ( this was actually before the maize in case anyone is wondering). Again, not many pictures but I did get a few shots of a bit of working down on a small patch of land that also got ploughed up so you know some of the kit used.

Tommy Gough Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Now for a few photos from this spring. Only one photo from grass harrowing and that was the tractor parked in a carpark as I crossed the road to open a gate. Then, a few days later, it seemed to be application day. Firstly, our spraying contractor arrived to spray our wheat Then I spent the day carting fertiliser out to my uncle That day, another contractor arrived to spread some nitrogen on our wheat as our spreader wont spread at 24m but I didnt get any photos (I know, I'm a bit unreliable at getting photos of the big kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
