SPN Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 nice collection of Pics Massey man, nice to see stuff that doesnt go on near me :) We have SO got to arrange a day out for you drawing silage! You haven't lived until you are careering down a narrow lane at 40k, 18 tonnes of silage behind you, black smoke to the heavens, and then you meet a muppet in a Micra who can't reverse. There is also the joy of being the 8th load out through a mucky gap - it's usually the 8th that gets bogged to the axles. I can't believe you were allowed get married without having drawn silage. I thought it was a mandatory thing - it should be! Quote
ihatepoundland Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Surely it is not the real deal unless experienced from a blue? How else would you get the smoke? Quote
Tractorman810 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 great pics mate, looks a bit muddy arround there though stans right ben, nothing quite like storming along with 10 tons or more behind ya, down a narrow lane, scares the be jessus out of the tourists when they meet ya Quote
noel Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 first class pics massey man!!! thanks for posting them up!! Looks like you got away nicely there, not too much damage done to the ground!

Depending on weather and time etc we'll probably do a total of around 40 or 50 acres of 2nd cut........One or two of the smaller fields will not be touched this time........Still got one field of hay to cut as well but there's a hell of a lot of docks in it........
