What sort of speeds ha’s an hour do you combine the above crops,as in all honesty they are more challenging to combine , than a nice crop of standing wheat , which most combine manufacturers use in their publicity material.

I'll let you know when we get going, damp crops with thick straw slowed us down in wheat last year. And tbh it was 11 months ago and I can't remember what speeds we were doing in w barley and rape, often depended on the crop. Thin short rape I was doing 9kph I do remember. W OSR, W and S Barley, W Wheat, S Beans and S Linseed to cut this year.
