We started the silage with some help from our contrator Peter Lynch only had 3 dry days so we started the 6 acres of new grass and thats all we got done it was a heavy crop with 140 bales on it ;D They had started when I was at work as the rain was coming.

Smart ride Bob, I especially like the little beacon on the end of the prong of the bale lift ^-^ That NH 40 on the wrapper looks in stunning condition, might as well have been factory refurbished :of Silage looking good too..

Thanks Chris yeah 6070 wasnt bad to drive i must say Peter would be like ourselfs he would really look after his stuff aswell as that the 7740 was his fathers tractor and he said he would never part with it it dose light work like wraper work ect mind you ive seen it ploughing with a KV 4f on some steep groung going up hill the over 10,000 hours on it now so it all light work for it ;D

I asume it's not to far from the field to the yard? Going by the two tractors running with the bale lifts. Otherwise would a trailer on the 3090 and the 375 loading it not be easier and cheaper ???

Your spot on Sean no more than a 100 yards from field to yard or I would be using Peter's trailer and the 375 would be loading.

Loader back on the MF375 for feeding silage as we are bringing in the cattle as the ground is so wet and the grass is not growing its bad when our ground is wet as we would have very good dry ground.
