I agree ,a lad we cut for used a JCB 310,and it wasn't able for the wagon silage but he had no bother from a class sp,we use a big 14 ton o and k and it's well able to it cos of the weight but knives still need to be kept sharp that long single chop is a nightmare to consolidate ,I've tried buckraking crap like that and its no fun.
Only tried the waggon twice and both years it was the same. Might be OK with young mushy grass but no use for our sort of grass.
Think as Chae says you'd need to have somebody constantly rolling with a heavy machine to stand a chance, think thats why they all use massive loading shovels to have a hope of packing it in.
If it was to come in that slow still I don't think anyone would have anything to moan at, ( and I first buckraked with a Ford 4000.)
Ours is a very old one then! Short drawbar, ram on side of shoot! Fairly certain its a 1986! Still goes well with 200 on the front.
Whats mods are you doing/have you done on your 1100 to up output
Actually we do have no waste on pits unless there are holes in the plastic.
I have an 1100 mk1 and would generally find if you push it too hard the feed rollers cant take the grass
Nope,I'm at the stage where I can comfortable drop the tractor a gear and just keep moving, I'm a great believer in the hare and tortoise theory
Would it be worth upgrading your mk1 to mk2 spec or is it possible to add 1050 bits to up the speed? The wider drum of the 1100 is bound to give more output if the other bits around it allow it to fulfil its potential.
