Only 17 acres gone in and he up to the roof already š
When a crowd have a set up big enough to justify sheds that size and covered pits I canāt understand why they would not have a decent set up for putting in the silage amd proper packing of it. I know probably plenty on here that buckrake their silage in but that looks like pure āmullickingā.Who needs 2 loaders on a pit when 1 399 will do the job perfectly wellā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦

Looking at that, You'd wonder if the quotation marks on the video are sneering a self proclaimed skilled operator.It's all about the skilled operator š

The only bit that was worth noting was the noise off the 399 which you'd become tired of soon enough, sounds like it has a turbo fitted, a day of looking over your shoulder...When a crowd have a set up big enough to justify sheds that size and covered pits I canāt understand why they would not have a decent set up for putting in the silage amd proper packing of it.

We had to draw 170 this week about 4 miles, "we" is a loose term as I done sfa, taught we would never be finished, took over 10 hrs from picking first in the field to having last in the stack. Church workAll the bales are now drawn in. In the end had 4 trailers and 2 loaders going. Shifted about 380 of them today. When extra trailers a going, makes an awful difference. Soft hands broke yesterday so went back to the rollers and made an improvement over the amount of holes in the plastic. Soft hands struggled to try and get the bales off the trailer due to the bales sinking. Issue was when we 1st started, we couldn't keep up with the baler, was doing 10 bales to the acre at the start. If we had kept up or the baler didn't do so much in one go, would have had a better time. Turned out the farmer only wanted 600 odd bales so he got plenty of spare feeding now for the winter
It takes so long to do the silage that way its better to have the pits roofed....I'd say looking at the size of the pit & roof covering it, a jcb or volvo (take ur pick)is just out of camera with some lad doing a repair on it & the old work horse was just showing " there's life in the old girl yet" for a couple of load.
Be cynical about everything on a video nowadays.
roofed pits are a great idea except for a few hours once a yearIt takes so long to do the silage that way its better to have the pits roofed....
We've moved on from them now....roofed pits are a great idea except for a few hours once a year
Some waste of money, keeping waterproof plastic dry. And probably machinery outside getting wetroofed pits are a great idea except for a few hours once a year

My 36m x 80m silo barn certainly get some comments,lad here a few weeks back said āI donāt usually get shed envy but thereās only one thing wrong with this shed,itās not in my yardā šSome waste of money, keeping waterproof plastic dry. And probably machinery outside getting wet
top of my conversion list is a decent covered pit that i can use for any number of other things once a bit of room starts appearing in the winter.Some waste of money, keeping waterproof plastic dry. And probably machinery outside getting wet
I presume sheād like that cost a quarter of a million to build too?My 36m x 80m silo barn certainly get some comments,lad here a few weeks back said āI donāt usually get shed envy but thereās only one thing wrong with this shed,itās not in my yardā š
I feed up every day of the year and working in the dry is worth every penny,itās also probably put a quarter of a million on the value of my farm.
