Trailed forage harvesters

Lely storm or SH 40 loves plenty to go at
Shame they dont make them any more

We lifted 40ac last year that had been tedded with the mex6,I never want to do that again

Nightmare!! Tedders are bad enough, but a bad man on a tedder is even worse!!

A bad man on the Tedder made it a very bad job

Or the haybob and a NH 717 complete with analog handles,

I still have nightmares about a 719
The day the rake arm went in was the best day of silage

We always lifted ten ft rows . If they needed a turn, we used a small wuffler one row at a time.
Then one yr brother had a brain explosion and got a contractor to put 3 into one.
Cows had also been in field shitting everywhere just to add to the mess.
We had to abandon it and it had to be baled.
Sold the chopper after that farce

Had a horseshoe go into a 717 once.

My Uncle thought he could straighten the blades on the anvil...

We pick up 20ft no bother,the rake man is worth his weight in gold

I was talking about first cut and a big crop

 

[Richy12]

I don't think any machine likes lifting those sorts of swaths

Surely better if your beat to lift the reeler and fly over taking the top off and go again with the reeler down. Be handier than clogging every few minutes

Be better off putting 2 of them rows together

 

[t6 175]

Sh40 here picking up 20ft first cut no problem, the man on the rake is spot on

That doesn't work, the pick up doesn't lift high enough and it pulls the majority in.

 

[glasshouse]

Far better to lift single rows and go up the gears. No chokes then

Depends on the harvester.
I think grouped 20s are hard to beat.

Depends who and what raked it.
If in doubt, dont

Thought that was ok for 4th cut

We do rake first cut,that’s 4th cut

By grouped 20s I mean 20ft rows left by a grouper or autoswather on the mower. They aren't lumpy like a raked row.
