My only question is this.
How does he get in the cab with balls that size?
He's mental.

That's nothing you want to see him round bailing it

I wonder how it's sown? Turning on that slope would be suicidal !

Going up is ok it's going back down that's when I would cack myself.

Strange looking combine

I guess it doesn't rain much there once it's ploughed and cultivated!!!!

It's surprising how good Quadtracks and other big rubber tracked tractors are on steep ground like this as long as its dry, but then so were 2 wheel drive Massey 1155s on dual wheels and Cats on steel tracks before them. Much more satisfying than flat ground and straight lines.

Would it have been farmed by hand back in the day then things slowly progress to this?

He keeps the sheep and grows trees on his steep ground!

 

[milkloss]

Can't say I'd be comfortable in it bobbing about shuttling backward and forward. I wonder if the driver honestly realises how steep that is and potential danger with all that levelling trickery. A slip would be a major event to say the least.

I agree: balls of steel................and probably a bloody good farm payment as danger money!

Something like this I'd imagine, or he used an old fiddle.

I was waiting to see a Quadtrack and 40 ton chaser bombing around

Or perhaps he's mor of a min till man.

In Italy yes, as the soil in the valley bottoms was eroded in Roman times they started farming ever further up in the hills. They don't crop too often in a long rotation and still herd their sheep as they graze.

Found some photos, steeper than it looks.

The grassier bit must be his silage ground

Wagon or self propelled?
