Pingu Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well got to be pressing or topping as your left to it and get on with it but must admit it took great pride in it getting it as straght as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffithsbros Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 ferrying silage especially when its wet and the grounds all muddy it makes the perfect challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Muck spreading is good especially when were in a team like we have been as of late, 2/3 spreaders flying round soon gets the job done and stops the job getting monotonous! Any road haulage I like, the bigger the better, 40ft artic's full of bales, carting silage great fun. Hedge cutting is another fave of mine, I take great pride in that or try at least, got myself quite abit of work from that over the last 2 years both large and small contracts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 really enjoy ploughing but love road work, muck leading etc field work like power harrowing gets boring after a few hrs, dont mind pressing, were my dad works go slow but when i help out i go faster, its then said it makes a better job! then remarks say its for younger lads as the old school dont like bumpy rides at 28 i dont class myself as young anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich.new holland Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 rolling i like it when people say "ooo that field looks nice" raking silage and carting silage as its a mix of slow and fast work slow next to the forager and put your foot down as you get on the main road i like hedge cutting only done about 4 days of it though so my view could change and on the slurry tank its better when there is 2-3 of you at it as its quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 MINE would have to be combining open out the field, open the flask, hit the laser pilot and drift offfffff :D :D oh the long hard days of harvest ;) "next paper please student" ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 enjoy havest season, the combine is good but i prefer the carting grain to the store. flat rolling grass can be boring... but love the stripes on the field!! liften bales on the summer nights.... i enjoy ploughing but i havn't tried it before myself.. but who knows maybe this year also enjoy redding up around the yard, putting hay, straw, silage to the cattle. pretty much anything to do with the industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcher Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Chopping maze with a two row header on a nh 719 and pullin the trailer .Ploughing.chain harrowing getting nice straight lines and alternating the headland bouts.And back in the day turning/rowing up with an acrobat .And of course trimming (getting the hang of it now ) anything to do with a tractor really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Combining is probably my favourite, but I do enjoy ploughing especially when everything is the land is just right. I like drilling too as you have to make a good job as you don't see the errors for a couple of weeks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Topping, cutting grass for hay and silage and ploughing. It's really nice to look back at the end of the day and see what you have done. Fertiliser spreading is ok, but quite rewarding when you look at the fields from the other side of the valley and there aren't any stripes. (Misses) One of my other favourite jobs was baling with a small square baler. I love the rythmic sound of the ram and knotters working. I used to use a New Holland 268 baler with a Browns accumulator behind a cabless Ford 3000. A lovely combination. Hot summer days without a shirt on. GREAT. :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I like hauling silage,maize,wholecrop the best, road work and working in a team flying past each other and that. I also don't mind stacking conventional bales by hand or with a flat 8, spent many a hour in the late evning summer sun, stood on top a trailer pulled by the Ford 6640 or Ford 3000, admiring the view, and the sound of the Welger AP clunking away And then obviously, tedding,raking and draying in bales.

Soilboy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My favourite job has got to combining, especially when its a nice day with a good standing crop so its all going well and i dont have to get off my backside much!! Driving the chopper was good fun too but having to orgainise the blokes on the trailers and clamp takes the fun out the job! Other favourites at other times of year are fert spinning, mowing, drilling in good conditions and cultivating in front of the drill with the old simba spring tine to finish off the seed bed back in the days when we still ploughed. Cant stand doing road work these days as it always seems rough and full of hassle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
