Thank you everyone for you nice compliments. It has been a busy week this week so on with the show, here are some of us all on straw cart. Stacking the bales for winter delivery to farmers.

Fendt 716 was my drive. An MX135 was on the other trailer, with one of the JCB 414's and one of the Volvo L70's on loader duties again. Bales came from our own Quadrant, Big Pack, Hesston 4900 or MF185 Mini Hesston.

Great pictures tris i'm pretty sure of who your working for now :D :D

How do you rate the fendt then?

Any idea what will doing rest of the year?

I can make it go forward, I can make it go backwards and I can use the indicators. .. ..  that's about it. Totally beyond me I'm afraid, need more than a few days on bale cart to get the most out of a tractor like that. I was happier in the L70!!

This year he spent a fortune on new silage trailers so the rest will have to wait I suppose. We don't use these a great deal, the farm itself is only a couple of hundred acres so they are more than adequate for that sid eof things. Looks a bit daft when you turn up with these at a multi thousand acre farm to do a job though it has to be said!!

Warm? Your hot! The Quadtracs were between at Berwick Basset just north of Avebury. Combining was way south towards Shaftesbury at a village called Hindon, as was the spraying. Straw hauling was Wroughton, Newbury, Winchester, Marlborough and Hindon again. Alot of work is along the Marlborough Downs.

Cheers Chaps. :)

Missed some corkers early on with the steam from the dung rising up from the stubble through the mist as it was flung out the back of the spreaders  :(

Usually another 414 and another two trailers for the gang but it was a close haul for 25ac. Near Avebury by the way.

;D

Hard enough just getting the chopper up the farm drive to leave!!

First run around the headland, quite a cutting!! No need for towing a trailer or blowing it over the tractor when you have this much room to drive alongside.
