The Bananas in the background in our experience are usually very poor small things, Tesco etc would not even look at them.

They were big business here once, but have been over done and the price has collapsed. 14 cents a kilo harvested!

Nice tractor for for someone in bowland tractors.
Id be tempted to swap the Tw15 but for the 50hp and 2 and a bit ton difference in weight.
Genuine tractor, local ish contractor bought it off Pat Atkinson a few years ago, he's changed it for something heavier.

Im nothing to do with Bowland tractors, have bought parts off them and been to their yard a few times.
They do sell to the home market as well as export, same as any other tractor dealer.

I am picking 8 fts after a Kuhn 250 moco. Have picked 10s after a moco.

Unfortunately , the 12145 has to go to hospital after Christmas . A miss in it . Injector overhaul didn't cure it .

You look like its cut with a plain disc mower .
How wide are you picking there ? Sooner you than me , no matter what power you had driving it . It looks enough for a SPFH.

Yeah there was about 25 feet of average to light first cut going in that, bottom gear, high split if were lucky. In very heavy crops we use a jumbo haybob and have 16 feet into one. The only issue we seem to have is grass going up the side off the pickup reel guard which you can probably see in the pictures. We also put additive on when it suits.

Oh I forgot to mention, our ground ( not the land in the photo), is mown using jf 245s and we also have a jf rake!!

We’re in south Cumbria near jc36 and the trailers are all homemade but by other people. Good try though!
Edit: the green one could be a Mortimer trailer actually, I thought they were homemade as they have no plates or markings ?
