PDH Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Contractors moved onto the local dairy farm late yesterday afternoon to start silaging. Caught up with them late in the evening at the clamp. The contractors were using a Fendt 718 on the clamp and Fendt 716's and a 930 on trailer hauling. The farmer was out hauling his trailer with his brand new JD 6330.....

PDH Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 great pics pdh, what they building on the concrete base with the reinforcing mesh, a new silage pit perhaps? We were discussing what the new base might be for. Concensus was that it could be a slurry pit but I'm not sure, shape doesn't seem right. I'll try and pop down again in a few months and see what's happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was told....though the farm has three of the Landini's in all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 its very rare to see fendts on a silage team but to have all to have them all fendts That's the only tractor the contractor will run....he has Fendt's permanently on order though he had to bring in three Deutz's recently as the order list for Fendt's is now so long they could not meet the required delivery dates!!

nashmach Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 just exactly what I was thinking! Nearly as much silage on the tractor than in the pit - nice pics though Do McConnell make their own loaders or are they badge engineered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Great pictures PDH and what an outfit wouldnt mind working for him :D But wish that bloke would treat that 818 better there lovelly tractors he'll soon cook that engine if he carries on like that :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjd8530 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nearly as much silage on the tractor than in the pit - nice pics though Do McConnell make their own loaders or are they badge engineered Mc Connel are part of the US owned Alamo group...which also includes spearhead, Bomford, twose, Rhino, Schulte, SMA, Faucheux, woods [i think] and lots more. therefor i would guess that the british loaders [bomford, mcconnel and twose] come from a similar source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
