What kind of feeder is that? Looks like it can feed into a blower on front?

Its a Caval DP180 which we bought with the farm though you often see them for sale over here for about 3 to 6k (use to be very popular). Unrolling deck pivots 90 degrees left or right (has a bale pick up as well) and its own straw blower which does a fair distance (either PTO or hydraulically driven). Have to admit though since completely changed my mind, hated it to begin with - what I found originally is it would suck the bales back in underneath jamming solid, which after cutting bit of the floor out made a night and day difference. Use to run it on our Ford 75 Roadless but just put her on our JD 3030 (only due to better steering lock being 2WD).

Ideal job for that gearbox. No need to reverse.

How much mechanisation is there with asparagus? Do you have to do a lot by hand? It always seems like a tricky crop to grow.

All the cultivations and bed making/ridging are mechanised, the harvesting is done by hand.
Hand weeding in the first year or two if they've got out of hand, ground preparation pre-planting is key!

Terra tires are keeping them up, plenty of wet spots for a while yet.

Yep, a TM with cab and front axle suspension.
Which went in for a relatively minor repair and which has just snowballed.
Hopefully back next week!!

She's been out again today!

Turning wheat straw cut back in October, and winding in a pipereel we used a week or so ago to get flood water away from a local caravan site. Grand day for it
