We opt for full width spread on the mower - I dont want a tedder in the field potentially introducing soil into my grass!

From above - at only 3t/ac in this weather and no stem would it want tedding?

Sweet as a nut (& got really lucky apparently as JD had a rush order for the 7380 and had no 380hp engines available so stuck in a 660hp instead!!)

Is that the forage wagon poised in the background incase the chopper goes bang ?
With the crowd and the wagon present, looks more like an open day.

Oh yea of little faith ....... once we got the knock sensors sorted it didnt miss a beat. Wagons were used for haulage only (though it had crossed my mind that they were sent on "stand by")

I was taught a lesson by a long time horse hay maker Last year that for top quality, it’s imperitive to ted out ASAP following mowing and or conditioning. There is only about 2 hours before the stomata close up and then the drying out process becomes much slower. Wouldn’t have thought it was so important for silage though

I don’t need to - we get 29-30 dm with 24 hr wilt by using full width spread.

When your son got in the pilot seat did he switch to loading on the CORRECT side?

Ehh. That is the correct sde. - in the northern hemisphere

He was comfortable with the trailer on his right hand side so I guess it is whatever suits the driver? Mind, I would not want trailers running close to uncollected swathes if it were me.
Lovely stuff though and I reckon my girls will be like this when they get a taste:
