Wow! 4.5 ? Has to be an All Ireland record?
 
Added up dockets this morning , 3.45 at 16% , 11 4x4 bales per acre, not the best but considering the year happy enough. It’s in continuous winter barley so might be due a rotation or else give it a lot of organic fert, hard to take it out of barley as the straw sells well and is cleared behind the Baler.

Just read your yield post. I'm putting in a group bulk order for plough parts. Text me on the list of everything you need and I'll add you in.

You obviously only cherry picked the bits you wanted to see, you sound just like someone else I know :sneaky:

Ploughed fields accounted for 8 elevator bars, 5 sections and 4 fingers between 2 combines.
Combining no-till fields is like visiting a spa retreat in comparison

No prejudices here, it's just you've been too quiet lately. Have you any spare drivers down there? The lad that drives the baler here has been signed off work for 3wrs by his chiropractor.
