Not wishing to be a kill joy but isn't it going to fall over in the wrong hands?I see Farmer Phil has a Paus Loader, I never seen one before, are they as useful as they look
Was just chatting with the brother in law about it. looks high maintenance and Christ if you have aload on the bucket and it out the side id be bricking it in case she tipped to the side.
If its a slew ring and rotary coupling like on a excavator then it'll probably be not too bad, its the fact its almost certainly going to fall over at sometime in its life, there's no doubt some safety features but even so!!First point was exactly what I was thinking, grand now but in 20 years time??
10 years on a dairy farm, not a single shot of grease in the slew, it'll be fine I'm sureIf its a slew ring and rotary coupling like on a excavator then it'll probably be not too bad, its the fact its almost certainly going to fall over at sometime in its life, there's no doubt some safety features but even so!!

Ittl land on the loader if it does.Was just chatting with the brother in law about it. looks high maintenance and Christ if you have aload on the bucket and it out the side id be bricking it in case she tipped to the side.
I think its 2 extra rams is all. I would love to have 1 could see many benefits. Even loading trailers in a field wouldn't take half the trafficking. Reach over a feed barrier in a tight passage. Filling bales in a tight spot. Hope i get a demo for thisIf its a slew ring and rotary coupling like on a excavator then it'll probably be not too bad, its the fact its almost certainly going to fall over at sometime in its life, there's no doubt some safety features but even so!!
What were they doing with the Merlo?You could see how handy it would be, had a rotating Merlo here in the summer, the owner could get in anywhere with it and work away, a serious bit of kit.
When you see the ration they have and the good silage , maize and wholecrop. Is it nearly a pity they havent better stock to feed.
He didnt mention before about better quality stock i reckon, but it was the initial cost to buy the calves was the issue and they didnt gain enough addittional weight to justify the purchase cost. He reckoned because of that was more profit in fresians and the like. Cant say i know if hes right or not. They definitely could make things easier for themselves.I said that to the rest of them here . Ditch the conacre , and have half the stock , but upgrade to even AA and Hex .
It cost money to feed the Jersey Boys that didn't make it . He sometimes mentions seriously heavy bulls . Definitely . If they were half as heavy again .
I like his honesty, the ordinary well used machinery , his father's have a go at anything attitude .
But they make a lot of work for themselves , feeding big numbers of rubbish cattle , plus they seem to have a fair bit of work with the umbilical system .
We only do a small handful of them compared to what they are at but tbh when all is accounted for the fr probably leaves as much behind as the aa. Especially the last few years the aa seem to be gone worse and worse(quality wise), too many have pushed to hard to easy calving and it’s pulled a lot of the good from them(I’m not saying all but unfortunately it’s what I see of them, they are being pushed as the easy calving cleanup bull). We get all ours from one herd and their Angus were coming from what on paper was a good quality stock bull but it’s gone to the point that they’ve given up on the aa bull as they could see it themselves that they weren’t getting offered anything extra for the aa calves, the market demand has been flooded and the dealers/ marts were only barely getting the Aa above a fr bull calf.I said that to the rest of them here .

The stock might be coming in from farms where they do hirework so they may not have much choices,if you catch my drift
The jersey bull cheque is hardly something you'd keep going back for in fairness. He's at them a few years.A slice of a cake is better ,
Than no cake .

I think it was sat in a field for a year and a half and was brought in and canabalised for parts . Every shed seems to be full of rubbish . Just because you can fix something does not mean you should be fixing it . It should have had the pump replaced and shifted on if he did not need it for five years . The €15000 would have gone a long way on a decent loader that they badly need .Yes they always seem to be chasing their tails there so to speak.
Can’t get over that 6290 sat in the garage for 5 years
