Small bales?

Believe me or not but I done a seven acre field on the weekend and got 142 bales from it.

If I hadn’t had wrapped them myself I wouldn’t have believed it! Crazy crops this year.

Anybody want to guess how many bales there will be to the ac

​

11 bales. Id say anything over 9/10 round bales to the ac is good quantity and quality

Got off site at about 7.30 pm, luckily the wagon driver was persuaded to bring a genni back with him so I didn't have to do a second trip.

Reversing trailers up into the new warehouse takes a bit of skill and nerves!

Not done a great deal today, am currently farm sitting, checked the pigs and bundled the dog into the van and went home to see the Mrs and other animals.

Added some bars into a gate to hold pigs back,

To be fair, I just jumped in it and took off, maybe if I actually read the manual, I'd have left it in the shed...

Tractor got real hot real quick and spat the coolant out, turned out to be the impeller on the waterpump turned into a 3 piece jigsaw.
Also noticed that the fanbelt was past it's prime so I replaced that while the mechanic did the waterpump. 3 hours downtime max.

Like because that's a nice tractor. And a nice tidy yard. Not because the old girl broke down.

(Stereotyping wildly here, but why is it all Dutch - and German - yards are so tidy?)

Big difference with the conditioning from the John Deere compared to the Lely mowers?

Slurry, or not...

@bitwrx Thanks. I guess the brick paving makes it looks tidy, the hardcore sites you guys seem to have are not a thing overhere because we have stone-less soils, you have to get crushed stone to get that hardcore look and it is quite expensive. Maybe also because space is at a premium overhere. You might think you guys are overcrowded, it's far worse overhere. Actually it's quite a messy place at our JD dealer I think but you can not see on the photo. Great service though.

@RmfJ I have the JD mowers on the lowest setting and the Lely on the highest, it looks quite like eachother. If I put the JD on the tightest setting I won't manage.
