Thanks Eddie.

@austinmetro6317 yeh the cows weren’t long eating it the last month. Drip feeding silage now before we take them in for the winter

@user-kf3pl8pu2m the Ford is a 1973 model so 50 years of age

@brianmarshall1637 yes we still get a lot of use out of the ford for yard jobs and some field work very easy on diesel and easy to service and maintain compared to the newer tractors

@elginsparrowhawk7203 we keep her well serviced although she could do with some cosmetic work on the mudguards and front nose cone but she’s still used regularly on the farm so it’s always hard getting the time to do those jobs. Thanks for your comment

@colmanlong1032 it’s a very handy rake, we’ve had it on the Ford before as well although she’s a bit light at the front when lifting it up

@dellhell8842 thanks for the comment. It was my dad’a uncle’s baler back in its prime he baled on the country with it hay and straw and it was very well maintained. It was still used on the farm every year even when I was younger but it was in storage for about 10 years there we only pulled it out a day or 2 before we baled this although it was covered and well coated with oil so it kept it preserved and we had a quick go over it before using her. Yes one of the knotters occasionally didn’t tie correctly and she did let out a few loose bales but for the most part she went well. As we haven’t used it too much much recently and with other projects and silage during the summer we never get the chance to look into it but like a lot of other things someday we might get round to it

Nice baler

@rabmurphy the krone 2900 is a very good wagon they can be bought worth the money. Only thing is a double axle one would be better. We have a smaller potttinger single axle and if the ground is anyway wet at all it digs in to the ground with a full load so I can imagine a single axle 2900 would be worse for that. But if you’ve very dry ground it might be ok. It’s possible to retrofit extra axels to them I believe. If it’s been well maintained like the knives bearings and chains are good it wouldn’t make a bad purchase

Thanks for reply,are the knives hard to change,is there anything I need to watch out for?

@@rabmurphy7089 The knives aren’t too hard to get, my da (he’s a fan of your leyland) gets them from Alexander Mills in Benburb they can order them in from Germany but they need a slight cut made at the top before fitment. They’re not too bad to fit once you get the hang of them they all slot in and there’s a bar that locks them in place. One other thing to watch is that the door can get twisted with wear and tear and not close properly but it can be straightened without too much hassle

@@ronancarragher4efe the leyland is going in for a we tidy shortly lol,thanks for the help

Doing up a 2503 getting it sorted to lift grass at end of this month nice wagon

@MichaelDavid, this one was got from a scrapyard in about 2005 for handy money. Just a lot of rust on the cab and bad brakes. Some day we’ll get round to tidying it up a bit. We’re storing it for now

Mechanically bulletproof@@ronancarragher4efe

Try the auld Deere and the auld silage wagon for some of the same

@matthewfenton8775 yeh it has a conditioner on it

Well Eamonn, as far as I know she’s late 2007

Cheers Paul. We always try our best to do as much as possible on our own without contractors and get better use out of our own machines

Thank you. Gets the job done just the same and saves the machines a bit. Cheers👍

Gary Kavanagh We keep it well serviced and use a full set of knives that we sharpen for each cut. If you’re looking at one make sure all the bearings, chains and pickup reel r tight and spin freely. Also the hydraulic motor for the floor chains. We have a few issues with the back door twisting during the silage and it doesn’t always lock back in when emptying but it’s easy to straighten. Also see if the drum and pickup reel are kept well greased as they can wear there too. The bogey axle should be kept well greased too. There’s more too look for than that but those are some of the main elements that if left neglected can let you down in the field. We’ve had it 10 years now and we keep on top of it and any small items that broke with age were replaced. Hope this helps

@@ronancarragher4efe Thanks for getting back that info Ronan.Keep up the good work with video post, it's a nice setup you got going.

Barry 885XL, she’d usually lift about 15 to 18 acres in a day with heavy crops

John Jamieson I’ll hopefully get another one up of her in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching.

Cheers lad. I subbed you as well I enjoy your videos

Nah sorry lad she’s still in use

Cheers for the sub

Let me know I'm looking for one like that

@@christophermoffitt3824 have a 3500here if u want ..........!

@Con Teehan, there’s just over 4100 hours on her. Cheers for watching.

Well David, the bonnet was off her as we had her down at the mechanics to get a few things sorted. Didn’t have time to put it back on. The footage where she had the bonnet on was taken before a while ago

She’s going well though, she was the main tractor here for years until we bought the case. The ford used to do everything and still does a fair bit, like spraying and mixing slurry

Thanks David we appreciate it. We traded her in against the Massey a year later. We had her 16 years and did a fair bit in that time. She even ran and NC multichop on a few occasions

Thanks again David. The Krone is 1986 according to the manufacture plate on the chassis. The weidemann is 2014 I think.

Thanks again David. Yeah the crops were good enough as we cut 2nd cut early so the 3rd cut had plenty of time to grow. But it was still quite wet.

Cheers David, she’s regularly serviced by ourselves, sorry for the bad audio quality btw it was a windy day back in July

Ronan Carragher Yeh had a few windy days in Cumbria also. Still doesn’t stop me from enjoying a good tractor video.

Thanks anyway for watching I’m gonna try getting a few more vids up soon
