Gav836 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Took some pictures of us doing some silage baling at work yesterday, haylage ones will come after these. The Case 5140 and Krone rake belong to the farm we were doing it for out near Hunstanton, The TS135A and Welger D4000 are ours, the baler is a 2003 model. Wrapping was taking place off the field using a McHale 998 being fed with our JCB 530-70 and the bales being removed with a Weidemann 1090 D/P, no pictures of this taking place as I was operating the wrapper's remote control and due to the film problems with it I daren't take my eyes off it \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Some of haylage baling from the previous day now. First pics are ones that I took of me tedding the grass with the MC135 and Lotus 600 rake. The ones of my bosses rowing up with the Lely rake and Baling , along with the larger wrapping one are courtesy of Belarusfan, feel free to add some more if you want to Chris The MTX 135 and McHale 998 belong to a neighbour and it is the same wrapper that we were using for silage bales. I then cleared up the bales with our JCB 530-70 and squeeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do then it can become all dry and break nearly every turn. I learnt the hard way when I was younger ? Great pics. I love wrapping with that machine!

Gav836 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 No, they were still in boxes, the full time operator was on the Weidemann and has been using them for years so knows all the little problems We worked out what it was in the end, the arms were going to quick for the film to cope with, his boss had it last and he thinks he may off speeded it up so we went under the panels and slowed it down again, seemed to cure the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
