Did some silage on Monday. Nice stuff but less than half the crop from last year. Still got lot of last years silage left over though.
Got the grass fertilised before the 6mm of rain too.
Today we went and got this home. Just over 2hr drive. Through Dundee and up the A90.

I get the feeling this pic does no justice to the scale of that whole outfit!! Is there a 7718S or similar you can park next to it? Some rig that!
Afraid we don't have anything to put it next to for scale but for some sense of it I was stood about a metre higher than the tractor. I guess I could park the car in front of it... :unsure:

Went to pick up some wheat seed from a mate near Tambar Springs ( about 60 km SW ) this morning. He was able to get some late sunflowers planted. ( very few dry land crops of anything were planted this summer )
Being along Coxs Creek & trees, the galahs & cockatoos have been hammering them since they came out in head. They have 7 scare guns set up & he & his 2 sons have been spending up to 6 hours a day on the 12 gauges for the last 2 months.
But, they are worth $1100 - $1500 / tonne

There still a few of you guys around there still do your own silage? Bet it was interesting driving that home? Looks like a monster!
 
Nowt as exciting as some of you , but maybe better in classic earning keep or scrap heap challenge ,
Put 3600 kg through old waggler yesterday afternoon on wild bird strips all 26 of them , drilled another 7 acre of maize next door , and rolled it
Good job it’s all by hour

Oh and @bumkin wall nearly done might get some of top finished at weekend , hope not better if it rains

A few of us still have choppers but getting fewer I guess. That one came from @capfits and was replaced by a lely storm. My mate has a lely too.

Combine wasn't too bad. It is narrower than the old TX66. Some good bits of road have a meter wide drain at the edge that you can run on. Not so good bits are kerbed right at edge of carriageway and you are then forced to run over the white line.?

How do you get on with that grab? Can you pick up two easily or would a longer one be better?
The grab is really good, so much easier than a bale spike. I lift 2 with it no bother, it has 4 short teeth in each side, I grip the bottom bale with 3 teeth and the top bale with the 4th tooth. I also have a double height grab of the same design that I made at the same time. The one I have on that tractor was originally made for my MF550, and the bigger one I had on a 3CX. I'll try and send you a link to the pictures.
