Zero grazing.

[Aircooled]

Look like 700's. Are they going on a krone wagon I wonder. I've just put 500's on mine.

Um I think I’ve cocked up. Yes 700’s. I think they are going too be too wide.
I’ve just put tape measure too my wagon and I could be embarking on a Devon road widening scheme.

Big wheels put pressure on chassis etc on wagon with no steering axle. I'm sure you'll have no bother selling them on though. 19' - 482/45/R17 can be bought new rims included £900 for 4 BKT.

Can I ask where?? Thanks

Got them in JB Tyres NI but don't see why they'd be any dearer in your local tyre shop.

They’re a completely different tyre in flotation terms tho

Yes but good for a small wagon. What size is on your zero grazer? I've seen a super vitesse that has been modified for 700's but it was full of stress cracks. Steering axle would help.

710/45r22.5 Previous machine had the tyre you are talking about on it and the difference is night and day between the two for ground carrying ability, we have had bother with rims cracking tho but no chassis problems, as you say a steering axle would be the job!

Serviced and ready. Suns shining..... so very tempting.

See why you’re concerned about the width increase now with 700s [emoji50] Those 385s on it?

Yes, bit of room inside but just not going too work.

560/40-22.5 are a swap for super singles,£400 each shouldn't make it over wide.

Just a snifter for day 1. Might be wet in a month and can’t travel so might as well grab a bit every afternoon while I can.....

Made a start today to zero graze. Not sure how long the weather will last but might aswell clean off a few fields while I can.

1 year ago, nothing like that out there today

So chaps, assuming purchase cost was no issue, what would the zero grazing outfit of choice be for a medium sized herd? And how many 'cuts' would you get in a year do you think?

Forage wagon and front mower

Forage wagon and front mower

What makes/models?

 

[Scholsey]

Whatever make has the best backup in your area.

Agree with scholsey front mower and wagon. Not too heavy, swivel pickup wheels, nice big tyres and steering rear axle.
Can’t fault my 10ft Kuhn front mower.
