Silage 2020

[Danielk]

Is anyone providing grub this year for the drivers or using the C word as the excuse?

We have gotten dinners brought to the field or one farm gave us dinners out in the garden and had a number of tables all spaced out over the whole lawn

From Agriland, lucky not to be in the river...

Another one gone

 

[Danielk]

And this one. Lads must be in a rush this year.

They seem to be part of the problem but I suspect green drivers more to blame.

Holy sh#t, I hope the driver is okay as that looks a horrific accident.

That was before twitter and it wasnt a competition to have it all gathered up at start of May.

Half of it was put in around 60%dmd or worse. When lads do that now they get slated... including on here

There used be a contractor back the years with a Galligani trailed harvester, 7ft PZ mower, a few Fords hauling and on the pit, as rough a crew driving as you would get, it was nothing for them to put a rock into the Galligani on a Friday evening knowing full well a part might not be got 'till midday Monday..'s

Blocked.. wet patch around the corner,, lucky i had a valtra ..

I hope it's easier cleared than a 7000 series, at least you can get in at the back of the tower in a bit of space.

Anything to be said for taking the phones of them young lads pulling trailers and giving them back after work.

Ironic, saw an 8600 picking beside the road today, I know him never saw one picking grass, went to pull in and he her blocked solid, so technically still have to see one picking.

All these pics of turned over trailers will be in Shane Ross' inbox tomorrow morning.

Ye'll all have a choice of training wheels or cutting the sides down to 3 foot in time for second cut

Anyone can turn a trailer over and not always is it the drivers fault. But a lot of them pictures are clearly due to speed. I was told tonight that the tri axel Dooley turned over when tipping at a pit and one of the rams failed so no real fault to the driver. (True or not I don’t know. Only what I was told )

And the guy who owns the shed thought his classic cars were safe out in there, that beetle looks a write off

3 butter flies

Is it only 1 harvester ye have following the 3 triples and 2 50 ft rakes? The mower and rake lads must be 9-5 Monday to Friday.
I see on FB ye got another 3 axle 25ft yesterday, they look the part in black.
