This is how we did it in 1989 with 4 tone trailers. One of them was a Weeks the same as the one in the video.That was bought about 1978? Silage took forever but it was great fun. We used A Class Jaguar 60 with a ford 7600.

ahh yes i love too see old setups working across tyhe country, this is an 15acer feild and it took 2days too harvest it! was the ford 7600 a good trator, i love old fords like that
Its a dying tradition making silage the old way. And bet the driver own this outfit. banks own most of the modern outfits. Loved video keep up the good work.
15 acres, 2 days sounds about right. Not far off an acre an hour in a heavy first cut. A light second cut, perhaps just over 2 acres an hour. Ford 7600 4 WD, it was ok but got expencive on parts. Towards the end there was always something wrong with it, so it was sold for export.
@Dal3C Thanks, and there is something much nicer about using an traditional set up rather than getting the contractors in! I don't really use this channel much, and only check it really every other week. My new channel is called: friesiancowboy

me again loving the vids, i also use to work on the barracks cutting the airfield and camp!
Loved making silage years ago. It was fun then now it's just sad seeing such large kit employing so few people.
