It'll be hay if you don't pick it up quickly. We put a load of first cut pp in the pit for dry cows yesterday and it was a job to compact it.

Man yourself. That wasn't an auto filled load.

Helping out cousins second cut yesterday. Sharp timing for a beef and sheep man.
TM steps into the breach again. Hydraulic pump down on the main tractor.

And that's it straightened!
Blooming hard to straighten when they bow back as well as up.
. we usually cut it green, so it often can't be pushed to touch the bars normally. Just as well!Mind you my employee does most of the driving so I blame him.
. He sent me the photo by the way. I'm not into contrived photo ops. But the sky was pretty much a one in a year event, and had to be photographed.

Second cut done. Waterpump broke on the 6910, broke a uj on the tedder, lost a tine arm on the rake (retrieved later on) and had a valve playing up, managed to almost break the back door out the strautmann because the driver pushed the load before fully opened (not his fault and quickly resolved), broke the wide angle on the strautmann and had another problem coming up again. That's what I get for having a flawless first cut.
Not a lazy day then!

Know the feeling. Last weekend, with five hours lifting left to go, main tractor wrecked the hydraulic pump. Hooked off middle tractor from buckrake, and continued with it, leaving me to push up on a 16 foot high pit with a smallish hydrostatic yard shovel. Load sensing hose on the wagon also burst a little bit later that night. Luckily, after we had a couple of pipes burst two seasons ago, we stripped every hydraulic pipe off our wagon and got new ones made. Old and new marked with corresponding coloured cable ties so we were able to grab the right one and go. Still haven't got my tractor back yet. We opened the axles expecting it to be the brakes, and changed them before moving to the pump. Not looking forward to the bill.

Wouldn’t they be better with a sheet like skip wagons have?
You could tension it or fold it back out the way,I see it’s an option on fendt wagons and krone do a fold up affair,strings are a bit sh1t.
Be even better if they took the strings off and blew into it with a chopper..
Now now @Davy if you want to start a row on that subject you'd better head off to the machinery section. It's all very harmonious in here
