Looks like your mowers have got under the grass well considering how flat it looks. Most of our grass was still standing until a week ago before a day of torrential rain. We use front and rear krone 3.2m mowers without conditioners and the same tedder and Krone rakes. They seem to be virtually indestructible (tree stumps and manholes exempted!)What do you think of the Krone kit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly seems to be well made, to be honest the tedder is a bit heavy for the 68 to carry around as she has a tendency to hop on the road if you're not careful, but they both seem to do a good job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is doing the week on local radio station people ring in and complain about the long grass blocking out sighs and cant see at junctions and sharp corners ,they all say farmers should be out there cutting them ,and when we do they blow there horns and make hand sighs to us as we are in there way cant win 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awdmac Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Found chickens feedbin lid knocked off couple of days on the run. Put a bungee over it, got bitten in half. Now chained on after seeing a pair of squirrels trying it! Hope they don't come back with a grinder. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to Martin but last on contractors list in catchy weather so got my own kit so me & the missus can do it between us. Got a small round baler, does equivalent of 3-4 small squares per bale. Run it behind 50hp Branson and use double spike on 1394 for collecting and putting up. Beauty is never have to get off tractor unless baler has a problem of course! Got twin spike for back of Branson which goes on after the baler & missus does chasin with it. Only do 7 acres for ourselves, start about 1pm baling & in the barn by 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I have to say they're very realistic Paul, shame more of the tractor driver figures don't look as good. Very nice work, and a lovely job of the base too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
