Used too move all bales with flat 8 at my dads ... didn’t have enough straw one year and a wagon and drag came with a load and I unloaded it all 1 bale at a time with the shear grab [emoji24]

Are theses based at Madley by any chance ?
Move all ours from the field like that. Have a heavy duty flat 8. Can pick up two Heston type or three 4 stringers at a time. Have to faff around turning them if I sell any in the winter .

How much did they quote you before delivering it?

Up to £150, my fault for not having enough barns to buy all at harvest. Just wondering if I’m being completely ripped off......

5-10 years and an extra forage barn’s paid for itself in the savings then. Fortunately we haven’t had to buy in silage for over 10 years....

Is it really nice straw? Maybe a fiver out but hardly robbery.

Just bought 3 load of top notch hay £100 a tonne will be used for bedding
Always seems wrong doing that when it that good, but business is business..... Could you not buy poor stuff? Less money?

I’ve got a fair bit of dry haylage some over year stuff too. I just didn’t want to run short this is coming from 2 different places and it won’t be available in a week or two. It’s well into March now this should see me out hopefully I’m keeping some straw for lambing ewes on. We will sort through what’s what and might eat more not sure yet cattle will eat a lot anyway whatever we do.
