The waffle I used one on a MF 565 back in the 80's.local contractor having real trouble finding a bit of kit that will move and fluf the straw in one go.hows the real harvest down your way going.about 430 acres at work left to cut,lots of straw down to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah be ideal on the silage , especially like you say dave ideal on flinty grounds , reduce the percentage hit the blades on the forager !!! Harvest dwn here is hit and miss at the minute with the dews lying on the ground till 11-12 o clockish and then again coming in around 8ish , but it is what it is just gotta keep plodding on , luckily we haven't got too much straw left down so at least that's 1 bonus !!!
