[QUOTE="Foregoneconclusion, post: 8122467, member: 10927"] Thankyou for the tips ! We are doing the silage for ourselves so i guess we can set the rules! I like the idea of a long flat clamp - we never fill the clamp in one go anyway and it would be good to have 1st cut available throughout the winter . So that is plan 1.. The carrying and dropping as you go is also something i must try as in the past due to longer chop of the wagon previous operators have picked up a lump. Driven. dumped and then spread out. I am not clear yet as to how successfull the dribbling approach will go as buckrake is new and wagon is an upgrade from my venerable 4500. Chop will be better no doubt so that will help hugely. 8 inches between forks.. Are you suggesting that i should only roll the sides? I assume so as i will be driving over the middle to get to the edges! Should i ballast the tyres? Tunes are definitely the order of the day.. whisky deffo not !! Cider? probably not!! wagon loads likely to come in at 4 or 5 n hour so should be plenty of time.. starting next week.. [/QUOTE]
