baling silage

My local dealer is pestering me to try the krone belt baler, he did put me off by saying it’s a ‘dry crop only’ currently running Mchale v660. Has anyone bought one and done a few seasons with it? I do see the odd one in the area but wouldn’t mind knowing the good and bad before I try one.

Pub question- you have a 6cyl 160hp tractor fitted with 540 & 540e pto speeds, and a range of implements rated for 540rpm input speed. Which would you use to be most efficient & productive, that is safe for both implement and tractor??

Hello friends! I'm thinking more and more about potentialy selling my own New Holland 644 baler for upgrading to one of these two- Claas or Welger with net wrapping system. What is your experience with these three balers? I know that New Holland 644 is good from my own experience but parts...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland The Christmas narrative, with its focus on the birth of Jesus in a stable, speaks volumes of the traditional role that farming plays in communities around the world. Throw in the oxen, sheep and shepherds – watching their flocks by night – and it’s...

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch.

Hi all, after sitting in the shed for 5 years I took the old 46 baler out and the pressure gauge has blown, the screen was white and cracked. Would I be able to blank this off and just use the change in tone of the tractor as a guide without damaging the system? Going by the forecast I don't...
