No spanners no , she'd handle it away fine , more hp more output obviouslythat’s good output there. Has the 160 had a spanner or is it standard? Have 160hp myself and wondering would she handle a wagon

H'os possibly.Some Chinese axles pure rubbish , d steering axle replaced after 12 months, the brake slack adjusters are tissue paper der just breaking , iv had cracks on the cross members in places ,
What sort of a loader have you on the pit? L70d lad
The 6480 here flys it with the euro profi 3 wagon.
This is pod anywayIs that PO'D??
hope the driver ok ? did something fail or was it slippy ground ?
Whats the story behind that @Arthur looks like it was cutting its way and then nothing!!
One of the biggest cods of all time, wagons are grand for your own silage, or for a handy amount of contracting, but around here anyway there's 3 contractors who all got into pit silage in the last 10 years with wagons, their sales pitch was the usual a SP is too fast, longer chop is better, the minute they got their acerage up they bought a SP and got their customers to change, dairy expansion has reined in the wagons, silage around the yard is decreasing year on year, they will always have their place but won't take over like people raved about (no offence to any wagon owners)We did 63 acres in 12 hrs during the week. A nice crop but not extremely heavy.... 45 acres 3 k each way 10 2.5 and 8 around the parlour... 2 wagons one big one one medium size....
Wagons seem to be loosing a bit of ground around here ... I know of 2 big outfits that had 4 wagons each gone to harvester this year and last...they had a pile of long draws and it was killing them. More lads are travelling futher and futher for Grass

Drapers. Us and a couple of neighbour's do the mowing and drawing. They bring in the forager and loader and this time the rake due to the autoswarthers packing upIs that PO'D??
Long draws are getting more common around here. I'd call a three mile each way a long draw for the wagon now there's lads going fifteen miles each way for a load of grass. Its hard for the wagons to compete against a harvester when its not a big deal for the harvester to call in extra trailers.
When you say extra cost, are you talking a few euros per acre or significant increase? Madness some of the draws lads are at nowadays.Longest draw I have inflicted was about 27km to field. Contractor happy do it at quite times for extra cost obvs. It's okay if bring dry feed like wholecrop or dry silage as getting more kgs of dry matter on board. In a wet year it would be madness to contemplate it. Last years silage, was about 22km on good roads, and the shorter draw on poorer roads of about 9km was taking the same time to round trip.

Ah that isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things, on that sort of draw I would nearly expect it to be higher to be honest. The issue I think is if you need to draw slurry back that far, that is when outfarms become expensive. Although in your case, drawing slurry that far isn't a cost effective option I would think, would probably be cheaper buy chemical P and K.Maybe 20%+ per ac, I never question the extra charge the contractor has on the bill. Fair is fair.

Did Broughans look after you?Thats shocking and unacceptable .. broughan isn't d finished article either , got very poor axles on my 3 axle
Sounds like these 25ton 3 axle trailers are reaching limitations, time for ejectors and walking floors. Is there anyone on market beside hispec/John kennedy machines?Did Broughans look after you?
how is the lad that got hurt a few evenings back?Thanks b to fcuk we caught up with them....

And now i'm greasing,,,,,
That's him alright. Is it your silage or helping out.This is pod anywayView attachment 78241
was that out in donoughmore?Stable, they still have him in a coma.
Helping out a good friend on a long draw he returns to do ours. I'd know the odonovans well tho as we used to buy a lot of straw from them before we did our ownThat's him alright. Is it your silage or helping out.
