    Kuhn or mchale straw chopper chopping silage/hay

    If they have got the blades for silage then yes both will be capable of doing the job. A Lucas castor 30 is also a good machine which replaced a previous kuhn here

    Silage sample

    Got enough to last 2-2.5 months. How would the cattle digest this? Will i need to add straw into the ration?

    Silage sample

    What do people think of the silage sample inserted to feed store cattle ranging from 8 months up to 18 months. we normally feed a 16% nut but with a higher protein level in the silage this year could we buy a lower protein nut? No feeder wagen here, bales are fed out with a straw chopper and...

    Upgrading a Lely RP245

    I wouldnt say im a big fan of the control box but that would be somthing that i would get use too. the way the drive chains are being run, there is a lot more corners for the chain to run and more sprockets which makes me think more stuff to go wrong. And the biggest thing is taking a roller...

    Currently running a lely 245 and have been lely for the past 2 balers previous. While all of them have been near enough problem free there is a few differences on the new MF baler that i am not too kean on. So what have other people changed to? I will be looking at a mchale but probably the...

    Replacing front tyres only

    Replacing fronts without back is no problem if the same profile of tyre is put back on as replacements.

    I bought a kit from selmech, it included the tank, pipes, jets, flow meter and control box. Simply enough system with on off switch and can also adjust the flow from cab.

    Silage additive

    what silage additive would be best suited for baled silage? I see most brands are designed for pit silage so not sure can they work with bales? Bales will vary in dry matter between the year depending on the stock it will be fed to. Used provita animal heath additive last year but was thinking...
