mb86 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 A week late but eventually got first cut in the clamp yesterday, usually put another 25 acre in but it got round baled instead so the pit isn't as full as it needs to be. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T7040 on the rake? What a machine the chopper is, the first 16 acre was a hell of a crop, the rows off that 4 rotor rake were solid and although it slowed Matthew down a bit, it chomped through it at an impressive rate. It sounded nice as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they notice a difference coming from the old Jag, no doubt it'll be tested there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to take a lot off it back in the 80s & early 90s .. Our silage contractor also done the turf cutting. He had a Gen 1 Ford 7710 4wd on duals for the job. Many the day I spent bagging it into fertilizer bags ( and getting eaten alive by the midge flys while doing so) then carting it home with a Lee silage trailer behind ether the 4600 or 4000.. We could take 20 tons of the stuff per year.. Edited July 5, 2019 by justy 46 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photo of rolling the clamp with both your Kramers side by side would have been a nice touch Martin, seems to be more in the clamp now then when the 339 was parked in there though haha, Looks to be making some nice bales though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have gotten on alright with the Deere then if they've got another, never thought they would run anything but blues, when the first one came it did stand out a bit.....like a rose amongst the thorns as my mother would say! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
