Deere-est Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Over in another field, the stack is made on the headland. The trailer driver is also the stack man, the whole operation is a two man job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Rolling down, this is where a third man would be helpful. Next year we will have to get some seasonal staff in I think, now we know what we're doing. And with the 40acres all done, here is the machinery all parked up. The borrowed 6600 with the mower, the old mans Roadless 75 for stacking, John Deere 3140 on it's first job since being bought, trailering and the die hard 7000 on the Kidd forager and the two MF trailers. It was a good running this year, hope it continues to be the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 JAG Contracting - 2008 SPFH - Clamp Silage It's late 2008 and we have only just managed to get Two Oaks Silage made for the home farm. Been too busy with customers to do our own. First up the 7930 mowing with Claas triple mowers and using gps auto trac. Later that night, hence the lighting the 6420s with the claas liner 3000 putting four rows into one. Reason for only doing 4 is because we want to move every row onto fresh ground. Then the Claas 960 loading into the 7810 with the SF16 Richard Western. Tipping at the clamp with the 7530 waiting to push it up. Pushing it up Then finally getting fuelled up before moving on to the next job. The last thing to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
