SMurF Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm sorry but whats wrong with a good old fashioned front end loader what sort of price would you pay for a machine that will only get used for a week a year \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yer but smurf some contractors are running spfh for 1000 hours a year which also means there clamp machine is as well so probberly pays for itself i reckon if it works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 if that machine could handle contract work maybee but it would have to take some stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 If a driver can't keep the pit even all the time he shouldn't be on the clamp machine. There's no room for any other machine when the loader's working anyway. A rolling tractor only gets in the way of a proper clamp filling loader driver, let alone a big thing like that! Our customers always said they'de never had any clamp so well filled & compacted as my bruv on our FIAT-ALLIS 345 artic loader keeping up with the JAG 840 forager. The whole secret of a good clamp is to push the grass, not carry it and gradually lift & tip to leave a consistent new layer with each pass so its getting rolled as it's laid down.

MODELFARMER Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 John deere Texas my friend no problem, 60ft wide pit by 150ft long, god knows how high but its well over shed roof height!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Like to see that JD 7710 keep up with two claas 900's How many contractors in your area use tractors on the pit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 John deere Texas my friend no problem, 60ft wide pit by 150ft long, god knows how high but its well over shed roof height!! For the quality from the grass or maize it is no good. The tractor or loader has not enough time to pack the silage real good. When you have a big pit you can use 2 tractors. Or like in the usa 4 or more. Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most, Another man uses a 82 series MF screwed out i think, Folding buckrake. Another few do use ex quarry shovels. The 7710 sometimes has another tractor rolling one half of the pit while it fills the other then they switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Morrison Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I'm from near ricky. In the local area only a couple use tractors, one is a MF 7490 with front linkage, another uses a case 5150 with front linkage. Thats all i can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fendt pwr Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The best silage pits are on other people's farm's A huge silage contractor here told my boss and I that he like's 2nd hand wheel loaders because they do the best job for the money.
