That's the advantage I have, I can playwith rotor speeds and such to make the most of what power I've got

Haycaps installed. Should pay back in 2 years or less, depending on the price of straw. All we need now is rain to test them

Weighted are they?
Looks to be pegs driven into the top bales, then tied down to them. Seems a good idea in a low rainfall area.

Screw in anchors, with a hex head, with loops of wire rope. The edges are tilted up so the water runs off the ends.

Tire pressure monitors for the silage trailers for this season.
With tire shortages and expensive as they've become hopeful it will save some downtime.

We got 10 to try last year , was a bit sceptical but they worked really well.
Had one blow off but that was in storm arwen , other 9 were fine so cant really complain and if they stand up to that wind they should be fine .

Yes, can prep a whole lot and just place them up as you do each row

Been using 50 of them for 2 years in North of Scotland 48 survived last year's Storm Arwen and t'other one.
However I was surprised how little wastage I had from putting 4ft rounds on top of 5 high Hesstons. Just make sure "staff" remember to take screws out of bales before putting through chopper

I think you are wright. I might be wrong but it is just a very high pivot point for the main jib, not an extra bend.OOOPPS.. Did not see the bit behind the cab. my mistake

I think the pair of rams you see move it back and forth, the single one in the middle is for the boom

That's the way. With winds close to the coast, sheeting and unsheeting a stack is a major health and safety hazard
How much hp do you have there?

A little more visable:
In my photo the boom is fully retracted. Not really usable for digging, I think it is purely for vision and compactness on the road. You can get them with a rigid boom but I wanted the extra bendy one.
