ihatepoundland Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 The first photographs were taken on sunday, it seemed a bit strange to me the way they cut the maize this year, they used the Big X to cut around the edges of the fields and then disappeared until wednesday to do the main part of the crop, any idea why they'd do that? First two of the Krone Big X V8, pulling it's own trailers cutting the head lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Next two of the fendt 818 I've posted drilling before, this time at night They are a bit abstract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Moving on to wednesday evening, they came back with the Big X to cut the crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thursday, still going. Never seen this field harvested up and down before, last time they did it across, looks safer this way. Fine selection of the farm's tractors, NH, Fendt, Case and John Deere.

civilpek Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 lovely pictures there boy. could be they were just opening up the field cos the farmer was a bit short on feed or something, maybe they cut enough to keep him going for a few days then put the rest into a pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand holding off on the hilly field for it to dry for a few days maybe (in the last few photos the Krone did start to slip sideways ) but not the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 i dont know why they did it that way sorry off topic i know but the farmer next door to us has three 9 acre sqaure fields in a line and for some reason they always start at the ferthest one away from the road and they always plant up to the ditch ,and when harvesting they always cutt a strip through the two fields and start on the third ?? i dont know why he does this ,the only reason i could think about is if it gets wet they dont have to travel through the fields \ what do you think \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The furthest field has it's own road access, if you see my video http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=18130.new#new , you can see them come in the top via this road (like the fendt is doing) and then go out to the right, towards the farm, through the fields.
