smallclaas Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Silage 2008 - Cullies Farm - SPFH - 2008 First cut starting down on Cullies Farm, we have the same contractor back this year, with a few changes to his machine line-up. Fisrtly this year he has changed the BigM for a Fendt 936 and Claas buterfly mower set. The BigM was proving to costly, to have a machine sitting up for 8 months of the year, so the Fendt was bought to replace it. The boss is just dropping in to see how the new outfit performed on it's first mowing outing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
