Finding an old forage harvester

[Headless chicken]

I’m on the look out for an old SP forager. Doesn’t need to be brilliant condition but does need to be functional. I just missed one locally annoyingly.
any idea where to look?

R J agri had a claas 682

 

[Loftyrules]

There is a JD for sale on facebook. Will try and find the info

He said it must be functional, so if a class needs to be an 820 or above, 682 not any better than some trailed foragers, and costly to run,,

Was at a farm sale a while ago a 850 made 20k ish, depends what you need it for?

I'd hazard a guess at foraging. Bit excessive for bedding cubicles

Depends on how big the cubicles are

Are you @Bald Rick brother from another mother ? You do have some very similar ideas to the old boy #machinerymagpie [emoji23]

Would it not be easier to just get someone in with a tub grinder

 

[dinderleat]

Or even just use sawdust

????? I'd say mind you dont put a stone through the roof, but......?

Jokes aside, what's the plan? Probably a reason we dont see many doing it.

Id hazard that it’s not for foraging. Remember this guy doesn’t have time to use a platemeter?

Straw chopper is the plan. One went locally for 4K so a cheap straw chopper was what I was thinking!

All building works on hold due to covid. New baby in the house and I’d rather see another winter without it than put my family or my staffs family at risk. Planning to see them end of June when they’ll be here for a month doing a few other bits too and won’t be going between lots of farms.

I bought some bits from Nick Young tractor parts and in the box came a magazine full of adverts.... one was for a JD so for 5.5k. I'll see if I can hunt it out.

2017 Straw hammer mill sold in a Cheshire auction just before lockdown for £10k.
Bit of a bargain as little used
