Niels Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 In the words of Mr Simpson. WOO HOO. And talking of things Simpson, is it based around a HOLMER beat harvester. Beet harvester yes. But not a Holmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 nice to see the vicon rake stil being used, but that big a tractor on it,that is overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newhollandt7050 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 yeah the mf 6465 was powerful enough through the mf 6480 was even more on the side rake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 nice to see the vicon rake stil being used, but that big a tractor on it,that is overkill Thats happened a lot round us Paul, acreages etc have increased so tractors have, however it doesnt make financial sense to buy a 4 rotor tedder or large rake just for a small acreage, so eventually the tractor becomes a huge overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 see your point pat,and i cant say to much,my boss sent me out grassland rolling with a 10 foot roller and a fendt 820,thats overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Exactly Paul you just do it though. Not sure about the fuel use though, 160 hp on a tedder etc when a 60hp tractor would be good enough. I can see a lot of farms buying smaller older tractors for jobs such as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hay 2011 That 6465 and vicon rake looks like the rig i used last summer when we were getting ready to plough our grass strips in, i will find a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newhollandt7050 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Excaly the same outfit, we like using the acrobat as we can put five rows of hay into one which makes it easier for baling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
