Bit of whole crop today. Doing just over double the originally intended area to make up for all the silage we are feeding at the moment.

Well dang my breeches. So far today doing WW wholecrop, the chopper has had a small fire, one of the tractors has had a senior moment and stopped working and the loadall carrying out more additive took sympathy from the chopper & caught fire too. None of the fires were serious and quickly dealt with but really.

At least the new pad is holding up :) :) ......... so far

Well these things come in 3s apparently, and it is Friday the 13th:whistle:. Glad there was no major damage done(y)

Are you using the new pad after only 3 days? Braver man than me:nailbiting:
