The Dania has a field of winter barley to cut over next few days

There used to be one like that near Stratford Upon Avon, I remember seeing it working when I pulled over to make a phone call one day.

Where are you based?

So the other day our front mower dropped a bearing, then the following morning our rear mower PTO shaft decided to part ways. Waiting for delivery, chronically behind on hay making this year so dug this out from a thorn bush in the edge of a field. Apart from a quick grease and tigthen one belt so far 12 Ha down since yesterday evening

The 685 ate its fanbelt with 9 bales to go - so pressed the 344 into service. Never tried round baling on it. Anyone tried 55hp or less?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Mighty machine!!

Glad to see im not the only one who uses a strap across the back, we shift a good few thousand every year with ours, bought a new one about four years ago wore the old one out.

Turning barley straw to try get it dry enough to bale before tomorrow's forecast rain!
