Jdeere6910 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 The green fever has started. Saw our local grass drying man picking up on the first of May. Nothing done since other than a photo on facebook of the farm we buy calves from, their massive silage team was starting today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Who owns the gear in True Grit Justin? I know the other 3,Andrew Riordan,Cronin Bros and Buckley Bros. Mike & Dan Crowley. They do their own silage & don't contract out. But they have a tidy little outfit. Andrew has one of the most colourful fleets around. JDs .NHs & Valtras. Each trailer matchs the colour of the tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 suddenly seems to have exploded into action the top end of cornwall where i work ,been overtaking loads of rigs running arround with full trailers today on the way home, inc one jd that appeared to have a terminal issue judging by its speed on the hill, the smoke coming out of the stack, and the noise it was making :laugh: , also sat watching a nh and a mf, both with big strausman self loader trailers the opposite side of the valley to me, to far away to get pics, but well within my binos to watch, prob only the 2nd time i have seen them this way, and then 2 in one go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Fair bit of grass down and cleared now around Wiltshire and Somerset and even the slurry injecting is under way.
