smithy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 They are the same model exactly the same year made and only 20 apart on the serial numbers , the one I got tonight has a lot smaller key than other one . Sean asked me what make the last one was and I said it was a Siromer but if I had said it was made by universal hobbies I would have been close , they are made by Jinma 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is one of the fields that we have cut today . Got one more 10 acre field of rape to cut but I think it needs a few more days to dry to get moisture down to below 9% 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes finished winter barley which was all on the lighter land we rent at Baylham near Ipswich , it has done 3 ton to the acre as it has all been over a weighbridge now to confirm what the combine weigh meter was telling me , TX so far is going well just had a couple of bad electrical connecting's on two sensors which when sprayed with a solvent and a wire brush passed over them cured the problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have had other windows go in the past and after going over rough ground a few bits fall out from somewhere , 2 years ago I was cutting a field of grass that I had cut in the past with no problem's but the new owner had doing the winter decided to see how far he could hit his old golf balls , mower did hit several as I saw them fly past cab but one came straight though side window , I put a claim in to him as I said I was not going to claim on my insurance as it was his stupid fault he claims he did not play golf he did pay up after a couple of months . I have since refused to cut this bit of grass ,Bloody city dwellers move out into county side and mess fields up . Thanks John 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just shows how far plant breeding and selection has come on since I was last combining (1981). Barley yields were about 1.5 tonnes to the acre and a good yield of wheat was 3 tonnes, if you were lucky. I remember the first wheat that could make the magic 3 tonne mark, Maris Huntsman which was a feed crop and not good enough for bread making. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I remember maris huntsman as a feed seed type . we used to plant a lot of it when we did all our own pig meal blending in the granary, was a big step up as they from previous crops as we had to put up 4 internal silos to cover the extra tonnage, 2 in the dutch barn and two on the other side of the blending kit in the granary building , that in turn lead to a new implement/pig unit going up as they lost the storage room for the combine etc, cost us a fortune 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished cutting a poor bit of rape today then tested my wheat it is 20% so maybe a week away ,one of my neighbours has done a round on one wheat field and his neighbour has done a hole field would not think he would cut it if it was not ready especially this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing about 3.4 ton acre, spot weights of around 77 to 78. Very pinched sample, it’s died rather that rippened mate. Moisture was down to 11% last night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Spent most of the day carting soil from a new shed being built on the farm. Had both the T194's on it with the other on a heavy duty NC dump trailer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
