Whole Crop Silage. My First, and a John Deere 7850

  • Waiting for a baler to come along and saw all these trailers going by loaded with grass (as I thought). After filming the baling I followed the trail back to where I eventually found the Richard Lewis lads getting ready to start another field of whole crop oats. John Deere 7850 and the big Smyth Tri-axle is in use, too.
    Filmed in Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK.

    Thanks Michael. Depends - if tractor is a long way from home it stays. If it's handy the yard it'll nip back and get a trailer.

    Forgot to mention that I have been in North America for the past 50 years, a Canadian citizen who often crossed the vast Prairies of wheat between Winnipeg and Calgary. Have lived in mountainous Vermont since 1984.

    No WONDER it looked familiar ! As a 15 yr old Hereford High School CCF cadet, in 1957, we attended Castlemartin camp on nearby sloped fields very much like yours !! (I did not see the description).the name Balmesh has a very Irish sound to it (my ex's family come from Ballymacarbra in Cork ! Beautiful landscapes in your part of Wales, though the tanks ripped up the Castlemartin site !

      Your comment on the name "Balmesh" is very perceptive. It is the name of a farm in SW Scotland where lived a few years back. The "Bal" bit means township, I was told, as in Ballymena. It is true that Balmesh used to be a "Lachan" or family township.

  • @balmesh
    @balmesh  11 лет назад

    No, haven't. Seems a bit pointless to buy grass videos when I spend most of the day making them myself! From what I have seen of the trailers, it all seems a bit "set up".

  • @carlmiller9946
    @carlmiller9946 5 лет назад +1

    That kid is determined to get in the way and get run over. Needs a good bollocking and telling that you need to have eye contact with the driver before going anywhere near a moving vehicle or crossing in front of it's path if stationary. It is true that drivers can become complacent, but those on the ground need to understand that if an operator can not see you he doesn't know your there. You soon learn though once you've had a near fatal near miss although at times it isn't a near miss. I'm guessing that this young lad isn't regularly doing this and is a bit to enthusiastic. So in reality it does come down to the operators to give him some guidance in staying alive.

    • @balmesh

      That "kid" was one of the tractor drivers.
