2019 Silage Season

[ollie989898]

Was one if not 2 down south working couple summers ago,prototypes I guess but one was working in massive fields most of the time

In Devon? Must be Troy I would think. Can't see that Devon is really the place for it!

EDIT

I fancy there is some grass being cut rather low on this thread.

One local one and I believe htl in Cheshire has one this year.

Had it 9-10 years. Likes power and a clean even swath, hence asking about mergers. Some pre-emptive tlc goes along way to reducing down time.

My cousin has 1355 had a lot of problems with that. then went to 1460 better but still had jf issues, he brought a t8.435 last year that helped but then had more slip clutch problems.

Whereabouts are ye in Devon though, it's a hugely variable place, some coast and low land stuff and then you hit North Devon and parts of that aren't too far from being in the pennines!

That’s going to be some tonnage. 4500-5000 tonne? 550 acres to cut?
