Gav836 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 This is a back dated one as I haven't been on much for the past couple of days The Pick up breaking on my baler at 9.30pm Friday night with only another 5 minutes baling left to do, last field out that way, an hours drive from base. Couldn't get it fixed in the field despite trying for an hour and a half so they are going to chop the haylage whats left \ Got home at 12.15am Was one of those days, had a knotter playing up while doing straw earlier in the day so it was spitting out 8' long banana bales, yet it never missed once on the 4' haylage \ The bu99er done it again yesterday on straw for some reason so we're going to have an investigation when we get a minute as there is nothing visably wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 guys elu went a long time ago i've use both . black and decker own them , i think they bought out elu the changed to dewalt. all my power tools are dewalt but one . dewalt planers are far to big and heavy. i use a bosch planer 82/32. still got a old elu batt drill around 15 years old now all the bits in side are the same as dewalt.
