Are you putting out the last bag yet?

TX 65 plus in red . .only difference is the plastic on top of the cabI’ve never seen a Case like that. I’m presuming that it’s a shaker machine?
Has it a close relationship with NH or is it completely Case?

A fine picture though.
your getting better for harvesting in east cork than we are out west ,Pixel cut 2 weeks today. First field did 3.8t @ 18%/mc and 63kph and second field did 4.4t @17-18%/mc and 66kph.
Belfry got the chop yesterday 4.3t @19.5%/mc and 63kph
Bazooka first up today and all infinity after that.
Belfry breaking down fast. Left a few heads on the ground. Glad we got weather to get it done.
Straw yield for the pixel was 11bales/a
Yesterday afternoon and today are the first proper days we've had in awhile. Humid damp up to that.your getting better for harvesting in east cork than we are out west ,
6pm last night when the sun finally made a break through. It was a fantastic evening after although it died very quickly when the sun was going down after.Yesterday afternoon and today are the first proper days we've had in awhile. Humid damp up to that.
It was very heavy for a short while and another twenty minutes would have finished baling the straw . It will all be sold as baled without rain .Would that have been around 5:30. The rain we got around 5:30 was unreal. Rivers flowing down the road. Wipers couldn’t keep the rain off the windscreen in the van.
All weighed today, spot on 4tn infinity after wheat after beet, and carneval after maize after beet, carneval has a massive swarth of straw and would have prob done more had i not scorched it severely with growth regulator.Finished winter Barley here today, yield seems good, trailer estimates avg 4tn @17%. Big swarth of straw but not much baled yet. Happy with yield considering odd year. Better crops to come id say.
I was in my neighbors and he was cutting Tower after Wheat and rape and it was yielding very well at a guess up near 4 tonne. He had one field that missed a fungicide around Terpal time and it was a half tonne back on the rest of it. His loss monitors were in the red no matter what he did..
There is a swarm of crows around here where straw is cleared, id say if what was on the ground filled and was in the combine there was another half tonne. Have a good bit of it crimped this year and grain squashing rather than shattering like it normally would with fluted rollers at low moisture, itsbkind od dead and soft.I was in my neighbors and he was cutting Tower after Wheat and rape and it was yielding very well at a guess up near 4 tonne.

Finished cutting this evening, all cassia, ranged from 3.1 to 4.4 all at at 13.6 to 17.6%mc. When I went back through rotations the few acres at 3.1 were a 4th winter barley after ley up to 2nd winter barley after wheat after ley at 4.4 but it is prob most fertile field in place. The right variety in the right slot is what makes the difference basically. Lesson learned. Btw all got sown within 2 days of each other and same treatments all year more or less. Only thing though is the lowest yielding field looks to have best crop of straw, going baling in morning so time will tellI was speaking to a contractor yesterday who cut winter barley on a farm. 4 different blocks. WOSR grown every 5th year.
The 4 blocks varied in yield, each different from the others.
When we worked back the rotation over the past 4 years, it became clear that the yield dropped the further away the barley was from the rape crop. Probably what would be expected but interesting to see a perfect example all the same.
Well the guess wasn’t far out 3.3t, 2 load at 14.7% and 62 bushel and the other at 16.5% 60bushel. Happy enough just gota get the straw bales up tomorrow probably now but should be a good enough cropKosmos cut today, not 100% but should be around 3.2t not sure what the weight of last load was but a fairly good guess puts it there. Think dad said first load was around 16% and the second was under 15% will know in the morning how the other weighed in.
Was baling other stuff today, not sure of the variety but it was doing 10 bales/acre
Forgot to add bushel was mid 60’s will get a look in the morning at dockets
