raves, raids, lades, ladders,

[jimmer]

I went to Brymore a farming school in somerset whilst there it was apparent the different names that people from around the country gave to the same machines, animals and equipment as well as disesaes and infections

so what do you call the things that are on the front and back of trailers to stop bales falling off (usually little bales if you can remember those things)

and when preparing hay for the baler are you rollering, rowing up, walling, or laneing

and my favourite was a chap from warwickshire who told me about summer garget

Laders

And have you heard about the petition to keep Brymore's curriculum being agricultural and recognised as mainstream education

Hay trailer gates are flakes round here,rowing up is rowing up but sometimes referred to as going on the rake.

 

[Walterp]

It isn't a ladder, it's a "rack".

 

[bobk]

We call them gearings, no idea why

 

[The Ruminant]

Rays go on the ends of the trailers.

And we row up.

Lades down here. And rowing or raking for grass.

And draying rather than carting/leading/hauling etc

[roscoe erf]

raves are partys with no booze but loud music and drugs

[Tha Ulsterscot]

Rowing up, here . Ladders on hay trailers, and the local name for a Shackle here is " Fit-take". Never saw it written down, but thats as close to how it sounds as I can get.

Yep.

Hay is rowed up, baled, put onto a trailer (often with a pick) with lades on the front and back, and then put into a tallet with an elevator so that it can be fed to cows in the shippon down below.

Happy memories of drinking zider on dimpsey evenings after draying bales.

Them 'up country' types speak a whole different language to us 'proper job' Devonshires...
