Look at the clamp!!!!!!!!!  :o :o :o :o You could play lawn bowls on that you have got it so smooth Stephen. What a huuuuge cloud in the first shot as well, did you get away with it or did it decide to dump on you? Sure looks like it had some rain saved up for someone.

What speed does the forager go? I ask because I saw a NH TL90 or maybe a TS100 not sure which, backloading with a JF picking up singles. He seemed to be flying along. Just wondered what kind of speed you'd get in a nice even feeding crop?

got away with that cloud just had a wee burst there now after we finished picking up tonight it'll hopefully be dried of by the morning ,i guess the harvester is travelling about 5-6 mph hence i was getting a load to the pit tonigt approx every 8 minutes.... thanks  ;)

Lovely shots there Stephen and immaculate gear even the reserve harvester - had a  moment with clouds like that at home on Sunday too - Dad was in a right panic :D :D - thankfully only got 5 mins rain but lashed for an hour 3 miles away - talk about luck ;)

Well boys... your kit is simply stunning... a real credit to you...

I guess it's not really that surprising that most of FTF's 'REAL' farmers/contractors own such stunningly kept kit...  I suppose it follows that a linking for models menas a similar appreciation for the real thing...

I was just sitting here thinking about all the great, well kept and lovely working machines we see on here... this post being an A Typical example.  Then there is JDC, Hody21's dad, Mike (Sparrow), Colm... etc. etc. etc.

I've never been involved in Silage before... I'm now grit determined to get some experience in... and it's all your fault Stephen and Chris  >:(:D :D

That can be arranged......100 acres you could start tommorow Marky. Hope that new thing of yours is 40K. :P

Some nice pictures in there, nice clean and tidy job again :)

So which chopper would you say is best Stephen, the Mengele or the Taarup? I only ask as a mate of mine won't touch anything other than a Taarup for some reason, maybe he's frightened his JD won't handle it :D
