pistol pete Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Well have gone back to scotland for our summer holidays. but unlike most people i have been out working when i can. we arrived home on tuesday the 7th at about 1.30pm. by 7.00pm i was on the seat of one of the farms john deeres. i had arrived home at the perfect time the oilseed rape was just starting to be combined. for the past 10years i have always carted the oilseed rape,and this year would be no different.We cart our rape of the combined about 23 miles straight into the dryer at the grain merchants.The first night we filled up the three trailer with rape for the next morning. One trailer was on our friends t reg fergie can't say i liked the drive much, the other was on 6410 and the last on our 6820. Wednesday and thursday were taken up with carting the oilseedrape from our farm to there for me and jim combining the rest of the rape and guess what i had my camera along for the ride.

Have you cut the silage grass yet mate? We've cut all of ours, managed to bale and wrap 2 of the 3 fields before the weather broke but we've still got one to go......
