Harvest 2017 is now officially over!
Last field of wheat never got to with the combine, got the mower & only tried to bale it as we could do with the straw, but it just ended up back out through the rollers.

Not like, but it makes us all feel better I suppose.

The joys, got stuck

Was going to ring for help then thought I have the digger here, first thing I did was break the chain, then had to drop spreader off.

Still wouldn’t come out so put 2 spanner’s under pedals of digger & let it crawl as chain was now too short to let tractor crawl.

Then digger threw the track but managed to get it back on before it came fully off.

Smashing some clods for sowing barley. Had a demo of a carrier, could of done with dual wheels for grip.

Different loading technique

The like is for the ingenuity and persistence in getting that out on your own but dam they’re some wet fields! Thought we where bad round here

 

[Deerefarmer]

what tractor is it??
if its a vario check the pressure sphere under the cab

Orange version of the 7495 mf,yes it's a vario. Did you mean accumulator under cab, the one tied in to the brake system ,? I am replacing that one, as its flat .

Sounds rather a risky option to me.

Tip toe'd threw the winter barley with some bag muck.

someone put a pole in the way

First year of doing pre em and it's very clean which is pleasing. Had a good dose of fym in the autumn which seems to have fed it well and in the main it looks good...

apart from where the bunny's have been feeding

have you got a forage wagon ? wont lose it so much
group it with the mower so it fills the baler quicker

It’s an awesome bit of kit, especially at 2 in the morning

I think this is a perfect example of how single handed farmers have the ingenuity to solve their own problems and to work around a situation without having to call on others. No doubt H+S might take a different view but I suspect we could deal with them too! I find that once you apply some thinking there are very few jobs that require more than one person.

I was thinking the same. I don’t think the public realise the efforts and potential dangers we go to to get the job done even if it’s just trying to save a bob or two to earn a crust. If that were a big industry job how many thousands would it have cost to sort that pickle out?

I’ve often thought that when lambing an awkward sheep and how many clipboards I would have there to watch or assist: catching crew, veterinarian, clean up crew....... I reckon whilst I had my arm up a ewe I would have three people watching at least.
