WOW , thats a great conversion  :o well done dave  :) :)

[Tractorman810]

nice work dave,something you don't see very often a nice sprayer like that

[smallclaas]

Very nice Dave, interesting convo Have you seen the new Verdo self propelled maize harvester, which forms big bales?

Have you got any pics ???

[smallclaas]

I have a bad pic FB I'll scan and post it later. It looks like a Claas Jag on steriods!! The front pick-up consists of a Kemper Maize head and the maize is loaded in to a hopper behind the cab, then fed into a big square baler and wrapper combo. Vredo say it'll do 90 bales an hour looks good.

cheers ram some strange stuff on there,like the hedgetrimmer which vacumes the cuttings up?

I was reading an article on them in one of the tractor mags last year, they make some spanking machines.... I've been thinking about putting a xerion under the knife sometime.  \

[Tractorman810]

jas this is the voice of the tractor cutters we know you can hear us,you will cut the xerion and make a cracking model,resistance is futile

[JC]

:D :D :D :D

Don't you think I've enough to do???

I'm sure I'll do one sometime soon, I'd like to build one with the flotations on so it will be a major "chop job" to get them inside the chassis.

[JC]

Bugger me, thats bigger than I expected!!  :o :o

[Tractorman810]

hell lost your text to see that mate,what size was it when you saved it? made me go blindall that red and yellow appearing like that  :D

[JC]

I've put a link to a picture on the website, the picture on there was about 3" square! 

[Tractorman810]

looks like you put the whole machine on the forum ,it's that big  :D

[smallclaas]

Here's some smaller ones FP

Here's the pic of the vredo vt with the maize gear, it's not a great pic. Nothing about maize on the site though.

[NCC]

Are they still dropping the bales of on the plastic mats, to stop the maize stalks from puncturing the wrap ???

[Tractorman810]

what would you use baled maze straw for then? bedding i asume

[smallclaas]

TM810 Whole crop for dairy cows. Great for winter milk. The traditional method of storage for maize silage is in the clamp, bales are just right for storage and mixing with grass silage in the Keenan mixer wagon.

[Tractorman810]

ah cheers smallclass,not seen or herd of that before,another one to the knowledge list

[NCC]

Feed Sean, dairy cows love maize silage etc ;)

I personally can't see this Vredo maize baler working at all, it's nigh on impossible to bale the stuff with it being so short. Will also be extremely costly to run, the amount of wrap each bale has is crazy and at ?50+ a roll of wrap :o I'd say you get about 2 to a roll :D ;)
