Does anyone know of a person or company that buys conventional balers for breaking. I have on that broke a few years ago now and we never got around to putting back together. I don't think we will now either having moved onto round bales. Everything should be there, new needle, new knotter frame...

Finding drawing lambs a challenge recently weeks. First few groups killed out really nicely but recently I'm finding they don't feel finished despite weighing well. If you saw pic of them in a pen at mart you'd think they smart lambs, but lay hand on them and not what you'd expect. We don't get...

Ok, own up?

If I plant a fast growing westerwold one year lay type grass in April. How many round bales could I expect to get off it before October if I pushed it with Fert? And how many cuts. Don’t want it to seed.

Does anyone have a good dropside trailer that they also use for bales? Not needing massive length for tight gateways etc so thought this could be a good option

Hello, I've potentially got a chance to take on around 5 acres of grassland, to produce bales in. I've been doing some research and believe conventional bailing would be the way forward. Around me there are lots of equine yards, feed shops, etc. where I'd hope to be able to sell them to. I've...

Following on from the fairly depressing ‘Anyone thinking of calling it a day’ thread, is anyone looking to grab their farm business by the scruff of the neck and expand/intensify/stack enterprises? Around me we have plenty of guys in their 20s, 30s and 40s looking to expand. Dairies adding...

Just back from holidays in Normandy and couldn’t get over all the round bales with string on instead of net wrap, are they tightening up on net not being recyclable over there or is it just the fashion? Huge fields with hundreds of bales it must of added a fair bit of time onto the baling operation.

Hi all I am currently converting an 19ft beaver-tailed lowloader into a bale trailer just wondering how many standard round bales of hay/straw/silage will I be able to put on the floor. I’m In the process of making a wedge for the back to level out the trailer and a frame for the front

Not a farmer, got 30 odd acres of pastureland which our local contractor turns into hay, deal is a 50/50 basis but in actual fact he takes it all and gives us a cheque for our half of the hay. We’re very pleased with the arrangement, happy to have the fields tidied up, also part of the...

We have a 2008 Massey 6480 and the front suspension doesn't seem to bounce anymore, but it does go up and down when you turn it on and off on the switch in the cab. I am guessing this is the accumulator, how difficult are these to change?

I am looking to convert to round bales. I have a Ford 4600 so 62HP. What old round baler should I get?

What are people paying these days? I've got 7 acres with water and a shed with electric if needed, plus I can keep an eye on them and feed daily concentates if needed. This will be for next year though, so only after a rough idea.

Hello, I know there are so many things to consider, so I'm just throwing darts at this point. My climate is quite different than yours. Very cold, snowy winters. Usually hot and usually rainy summers. Majority forested, but a decent amount open sandy/clay soil. My wife and I run 40-50...

A quick background story. We moved to Yorkshire to an 18 acre equestrian (I use that term loosely) property in October 2023. Everything is new to me hence my questions! I have two paddocks about 8 acres each. Since April I have been trying to arrange for a contractor to put me on their books so...
