this year i are mostly be running ,

MF 698T  & kuhn mower or vicon 321 in reserve

MF 699    & claas trailed forager

MF 690    & 7 tonne trailer

MF 675    & 7 tonne trailer

MF 575 or 590 & 6 tonne trailer

JCB 520 or MF 590 4wd on the clamp

all equipment although old, is wholly owned & paid for & have no intention of going bust anytime soon & run a stress free outfit for 5 customers covering about 600acres during first cut , & 350 at second cut.

we stop for 15 mins at 10.00 half hour at 13.00 & 15mins at 1600  during this time we have a laugh & joke & get to know our customers & their workers

our work load is arranged between ourselves & our customers & not our need to get on to the next customer as soon as is humanly possible

at the end of each silage season i arrange a skittles evening for all the staff at the Bull Inn in Ambridge

unlike the other contributors who must be well into the bank for a few hundred thousand pounds always chasing the next customer , & also go so fast with 17 yearold drivers they are actually road hazzards themselves , get the clamp filled so quick it's not rolled half as much as it should be & the farmer ends up with poor quality silage & will run rain or shine because the payments have to be kept up & running well into the night making their drivers so tired they start pinging the equipment simply because lack of sleep & a diet of coffee, red bull & pro-plus just doesn't work after the first five days i know i've been there  ;D

whats a half pipe trailer ?

its basicly a half round trailer ol , instead of having a square one , it's all the rage apparently , but really offers no advantage to hauling silage over a conventional trailer that i can see , but halfpipes are more commonly found on aggrigate work 

& yes i have my tin hat on for the incoming abuse  ::)

Just look like trailers too me Sean,Redrock,Ace etc they all look much of a much ness to me. :-[:-[

for silage and grain it seems to be very much a irish make thing mate redrock / kane , sure someone will put me right, but i have not seen any of the main stream uk builders using half pipe design yet on these types of trailer, they use it in mainland europe, but as marcus said mostly for aggrigate type trailers, lot of local lorrys now use them to again for aggrigate  work
