What is the going rate for buckraking maize?! Either by the hour / acer
Thanks
Thanks
A 390?Depends what you have and how much your capable of shifting? 3-400hp seems to be standard on silage pits these days. I won't put what I think you should charge incase the man that does ours is reading!
Or you could have a 390 with a grays buckrake on back.
35 with trip buckrake was my first go at buckraking. Silage out of an old pottinger wagon with about 5 knivesA 390?
Spoilt by luxury you are
I started on an uncles pit with a cabless 135. The roll bar folded down to clear the rafters, buckrake outside tines removed so you didn't push too much
That pit is still getting used today..... Make a wedge, bring it forward, and don't bother trying to roll the top
Cost of the contractors forklift for the day probably more than the 135 cost new
You can do all mine next year.£8 acre
You can do all mine next year.
Your getting specific now.As long as it not a silly box . Multi cut with a jag or we ain’t coming
Contractors do as well!Be careful @RAF
According to another thread, some farmers take years to pay their contractor's bills.
Will become even more essential when the subs go! Real costs of owning machinery will show.Sorry my bad , contractors are the back bone of British ag .
I pushed ours up with the merlo 40.7. That was painful, glad it was only 20 acres.
Character breaking. Last load couldn't arrive quick enough......or slow enoughCharacter building stuff!
