Watched it earlier. The trailer had me in stitches

Apparently, straw merchant near stow is loading lorry loads out at £120pt for wheat and £140pt for barley!

We’ve got an AW bale trailer with sides! Genuinely the best money we’ve ever spent!!! If you move bales regularly it’ll save a fortune in time/hassle strapping!

Farmers are asking/getting about £120t for wheat out of the barns. Hay, straw and haylage selling fast for us in wales atm, broke our sales record yesterday. 56 big bales sold in one day.

Sell the straw to the customers by the bale, I bet they’ll use less!!

We do about 800 hrs a year with ours. Bought a 4500hr 2014 massey 6616 in 2022 for £54000. New would have cost us £100k at the time. So far we've spent £800 on new front tires £800 on front king pins recently(old ones only just starting to wear out and another £300 on an exhaust sensor. Doing...

Why not buy a second good low hour’d second hand model?

Just a quick ad to this, digger contractor friend of mine has hit a quiet patch. He'd overspent on machines and a contract has not materialized. He's tried to sell a year old 115hp case back to the main dealers, they've offered him £20k less than he paid for it. It works out at £40 an hour...

I know of multiple people with badly set up systems from TE. Have you scrapped the system? If not I do know of some very good heating engineers that would probably be capable to re engineer it to perform for you. rhys

How bad does hay and straw stick to them? bought my first swandrii last year and keeping it for best! Bough one second hand on eBay last week and not been brave enough to wear it on the yard yet! would be wearing it moving small bale hay and straw all day!

Most years, probably cheaper, less stress to buy than make yourself.

We broke our record for one day sales last week. We sold 54 big bales in a day, previous record was 52. We even sold a full trailer load of bales of best quality big bale hay to a dairy farmer at equestrian prices, mind you we can't replace the bales at a sensible price so they had to pay the...

Those of you that retail bales back out, how are your sales so far this winter? I think we’re up on last year, slightly less small deliveries but a lot more bigger loads going out daily. We’ve lost a few regulars due to our higher price, we think some will have to come back in the new year...
