james f Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Why does the forager driver blow the silage to the right, most I've seen blow to the left? Also, do they bring an extra trailer around to every farm? Our contractor would usually have an extra trailer, but youd have to get it out of his yard yourself. He doesnt use a rake mind you, and the mowers would be way ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt use a rake mind you, and the mowers would be way ahead All of the forager drivers blow to the right here, it's safer when you want to get out etc. Yes they do bring an extra trailer to everyfarm normally on the back of the forager. No rake Must take you ages? nice pics agian Luke!! ;D Thanks young Benjamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 some job mate what do you normally do all day just stand and wait to take photos of grass equipment?? Must be boring standing waiting all winter ?? :D Why does the deere have rear duals with a front mounted buckrake?? Surely would be better packing if it was on the rear??

No rake Must take you ages? Now why would the forager driver want to get out while filling a trailer?? ;D As for raking, the grass is usually gouped 20ft into one swath, plus people around here tend to take heavier cuts later, so any wider and the forager couldnt cope. Wont see any action until June I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Great photos luke what years are the 714's Is there many down were you are as prefer the 716 up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm not aware of anyone using a 4 rotor rake in Ireland as the crops are too heavy - and if they did they would need >200hp underneath it. I did a tour yesterday and none of our main contractors are out yet. I did see two fields mowed out in West Waterford on Wednesday night - I smelt it before I saw it - but the crop looked very light. Super pics Powerstar. Many thanks. I hope to be able to return the compliment very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Nobody cutting in Cork yet either, though did see one mowing on the land of Clonakilty Agricultural College. In a rush hence only one picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 As allways, excellent pictures mate! My favourite has to be the Claas Jaguar coming down the lane, would make an excellent computer background! Just one quick question, what type of camera do you use? Really like the quality picures you produce with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like the quality picures you produce with it! You can put it as your background if you want CCF I'm not stopping you! I use a 2 year old Vivitar ViviCam 3765 - getting on a bit, but as you say produces great quality pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
