NCC Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 the welger chamber baler in the back ground looks nice not a fan of chamber balers personally but nice piece of kit Ah yes the Welger RP 202 or 220 as I keep calling it, bought new in 2003: Excellent baler in grass, nice solid bales and very easy to maintain and work with. Stuggled with straw last year though, shear bolts kept shearing and the bales weren't that solid, was baling behind 2 25ft Case Axial Flow's though :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get asked this question quite alot ;) :D Your right though, a tedder just spreads and fluffs the grass up to aid in drying and to break the waxy layers on the blades of grass, otherwise known as conditioning. A haybob can ted and row up the grass though, by adjusting the angle of the tines and gates you can spread the grass (gates open) or row it up ready for the baler (gates closed) we only use the haybobs for rowing up though ;) Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I see a fastrac there mate not been trying 'new' tractors have you ;D That's my mates Fastrac. He's really struggling to find work for it at the moment. He's a big plant man so this is normally on building sites and the likes with his Komatsu 360's etc carting away. The problem is the sites he's on at the moment don't want a fastrac running, so he's not sure whether to sell or not :o You know were it will be heading though if the price is right, yep to NCC ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
