Drag chopper pictures

[Big_D]

No pick up reel was shite,they lifted from underneath.

On skids too

 

[Big_D]

But it's self propelled not dragged, but then again they do need to be dragged as they have trouble going the way you want them to go

I'll take a slap on the wrist for going off topic as this is my new favourite thread and don't want it spoiled!!

When one hasn't got a rake, one has to travel down the swaths quite quickly, doesn't one ?

Is the woman sweeping out the silage pit at 1.45?

The 1st picture , with the JD s was taken at the Lismore silage day , held in July 2016 . Held at Lismore Castle Estate. I was a spectator on the day. A few videos on youtube, There was a "Silage Extravaganza " held at Moyglass , Co Tipperary, at the beginning of August 2015. I attended that with a Single chop Taarup inline harvester , 1959 , I think , behind a Ford 5600. I don't think I was captured on film , but am on several youtube videos from The Dunmore Silage day , August 2012.

71 loves eating fairly big rows of grass as long as its not to dry. in lighter crops the pick up tends to flick the grass forward then goes in a lump. does your 75 do that? any ideals how to changed it?is the pick up speed wrong?

Could it be the rollers the 75 has infront of the reel?

Yes exactly the same I'm afraid,right pain in the arse..
As you said,good crop she fly's along

Crop press? Only the wide pick up had that,2.2m..

The top of our farm has bugger all top soil,so you have to get third cut off before it burns off,this part of the farm will only get a 12 hour wilt,where as the lower side will have 24 hour,makes planning silage interesting

Those pics are at my uncle's place, don't think that wylie even had a double acting ram, he has a twose buckrake now, same size but shifting grass from an 870! Never had a 290 here, dad's always hankered for a wee 230, were big on the 300 series here, when working at silage with uncle we would have 2 399s 2 390s and 4 390ts on the go

 

[CrevisbigX]

Is that a stoll rake behind the Reno

 

[Big_D]

Yes very good rakes, i think that one was new that year (belongs contractor) bit bigger than the 782 models he also ran, they were an ideal size.
