CMB Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Today as with the last two days, I'll be shaking out hay. We've thirty odds acres in the barn, 50ish cut and of that about thirty shaken out. That will be shaken out once more today by me, then rowed up by another chap for the balers. While I go on shaking out tomorrows work twice. In all, 200ac to do but this week we'll aim to bale up until tomorrow and then look at the weather as it is mean't to change. Fleet this year is: 6180 mowing. 390 shaking out. 399 on haybob. 698 and 6160 baling. 165 Farmhand loading. 590, 290 x2, 390 trailering. JCB 531-70 on a 12 plate unloading at the barn. Is that Wiltshire-speak for tedding Tris? Still waiting for calls from two farms to do bale trailering/stacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Bale carting in a hoary old Zetor 8045 + nondescript trailers, then receiving and stacking mostly manually in the barn. Other help from NH 6635 with a Cook flat 8, cabless Leyland 384 2wd (also drawing), and, (for a short while) a Chillington 56 bale carrier (before a leaking ram was discovered).
