Wilder Twin Chop

[R Allan]

Does anyone know if there are any Wilder Twin Chop forage harvesters still in existence out there ?

 

[spiders]

We have a few but doubt my father will part with them, what are you after. Might Know of a few others.

 

[R Allan]

Hello, cheers for the reply. Thats the problem where i am, anybody that has one wont part with it. Its a 52" cut i think and runs in-line. I have 1 already but its seen alot of work so would ideally like somthing in good order to replace it when it gives up but would consider any condition for spares.

 

[spiders]

I'll have an ask about. What part of country are you?

 

[R Allan]

North of scotland

 

[spiders]

Typical you couldn't be much further! I'm in west Wales.

 

[R Allan]

Ah yes that's not the closest indeed but i'm used with things not being the closest as i live in Orkney so its the north of scotland and then some more. I have a freind in Aberdeen that helps me with haulage so its not all bad.

I know this is probably a long shot but i am trying to put together a vintage/classic silage outfit with either a 1962 or 1964 fordson super major county.I would love to find a wilder twin chop of that era ..off set would be brilliant but anything would be considered...failing that a JF universal 145 would be good too

@spiders do you want to buy another?

Failing that can anyone tell me if they are worth anything other than their weight in scrap?

 

[Netherfield]

You really need the Wilder 'crab' mower to go with it though.

Nostalgic.

 

[mealman]

I am very interested. I am just out working at the moment but will reply in detail when I get back home.

Hi Smudge

I would be interested in another yes . where abouts in the country are you? don,t no what the scrap value would be but i paid £200 for mine .

 

[Smudge]

This one is also in West Wales, South Pembs to be exact. It's not mine, I've been asked to find out if it's worth selling/saving or better chucked in the skip pictured in the background. My understand is the clock is ticking

 

[mealman]

dont let it go to the skip.....i would be interested in buying it

 

[Smudge]

Hi @mealman I got your PM, I know nothing about it but will ask

[mealman]
