Pingu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I reckon a MF 8480 or any large tractor even a JD 8520could keep up with two jags good to hear one of them roaring up a pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you would be struggling to keep up \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 you might but you could probs take 20ton plus on a decent sized buckrake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 you might but you could probs take 20ton plus on a decent sized buckrake Maybe, but you have to layer your silage then level it off, give it a quick roll and while your doing that another 16 ton trailer has just tipped up it's next load :o \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I don't, you could be getting 16 ton trailers in every 2 minutes. I reckon you would be struggling to keep up \ \ Those trailers I sent to you on MSN Nath, the videos and all that, they are carting from a Jaguar 890 and have about 4 on the go and the JD 7810 with front mounted Moulton buckrake can hardly keep up, they are 15/16 tonners. You try pushing up 16 ton of grass every two or three minutes, hard work, I don't think many tractors could keep up with 2 Jaguar 900's, Job for a loading shovel I think.

Deere-est Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Just a little note, you lot are all going mental over what tractor, what loader, how wide a buck rake, how big a clamp, how many foragers ... . The distance plays as big a role as any in terms of what pit machine can keep up with what forager!! : ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yes and no, as long as theres enough trailers on the go distance don't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yes and no, as long as theres enough trailers on the go distance don't matter Yep, no contractor can afford the chopper waiting for trailers. Next to the clamp (A VERY RARE Situation 2 can keep up, We've done jobs where we've been clamping 7 trailers comeing in as the fields were distant, one of those situations where a one-way system was essential around the lanes (before CB days).

SPN Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Last year I saw a Jag 900 with 9 trailers having to wait because the draw (with a one-way system) was so long. Two years previously I had seen the same Jag having to wait, with 10 trailers, because a half mile lane necessitated queuing. Three trailers waiting to go in, three trailers waiting to come out, one trailer tipping, one going to the harvester , one with the harvester and one heading back to the bottleneck. The Loader driver (JCB Farm Master) was a pro and could easily keep ahead of the 900. The problem was the distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
