Maize 2011 - Tractors in Trouble! + Two Foragers Together!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- We start with Rob on the Case 210 giving a helping hand, go on to see likewise to a John Deere tractor with loaded trailer. Then, to show it isn't just the Deeres getting stuck, the New Holland with empty trailer tries for it, and also becomes helplessly bogged. Kept you busy Rob?
Then - wait for it. The 7850 comes into the field and we see the two foragers working together, almost side by side. Never seen this before. . . .
Thanks for posting this video. They were pushing the conditions a bit, as it was pretty muddy that day, but those huge tires help keep them moving and harvesting. The operators seemed to know exactly what they were doing, probably from years of work together, which is always very satisfying to watch.
Thanks very much. Always a pleasure to get happy viewers!
Because if you wait at that time of year the ground just gets soggier! Anyway I made no claim to have anything to do with it other than film it. Not my ground, farm, machinery or anything else.
Truly marvelous sight to see one forager working behind the other, Conditions don't look the best
You're welcome. The guys really had no option - after a lousy summer the Maize is finally ready so it's "Go" knowing conditions will get no better!
The two drums are there containing addtive that helps the grass to ferment and make good silage. A slightly different product is used for whole-crop.
Thanks Chuckles, you tell 'em! That's exactly the sort of thing I'm always ranting on about - you can't see anything much on a video!
Brilliant as always, been a great series of vids of maize from you look forward to watching them.
The two foragers together was certainly something new. 5*
To Tractormadsteve
Thanks for the comment, Steve. I value them all.
what a nice job to have just pushing the green and blue out of the mud.. :P Go go go case:P
To MrSDSTRIKEBREAKER
The Case came with a trailer (see earlier videos on this) but it came off when the Forage Harvester wanted to tow it behind for the headland run. It stayed off and Case was pusher for the rest of the field.
i've never been a fan of john deere, but those tractors are working there asses off
Amazing video! Great work, mate! Thumbs Up
Greetings from Romania
Andrew
Many thanks Andrew!
Looking back through your old videos, you have some great ones :)
Thank you Jacob.
Nice one Alan. Great to see two harvesters in the one field.
To Panchdeburca
I suppose if you always throw it over your left shoulder it comes hard to start thinking about the opposite! But you are not wrong - there are likely some other factors in the equation that we know nothing about.
Brilliant. At 4.56 it looks rally great!
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Cameron.
Thank you, Johan.
exellent vid as usual alan and the tyre on the head weight for pushing the trailers is a brilliant idea. a lot safer than chains.
Nice of you to say that - I always think, watching it, that it must have been a nightmare!
True. The maize was never going to be left in the field!
Great job, difficult weather to harvest.
Yes, true. But equal conditions rarely happen in real life and last year these fields were harvested quite happily. With normal equipment.
Thank you!
They contain additive to help the grass ferment better.
Another great video as usual. Always a pleasure to watch.
pure gold, this is excellent
Suggest you read the comments below - the whole story!
got to be honest thats the type of comment a pen pusher would say ,you should go with any contractor about maize time and this is a common sight !
Well, there's plenty to go at! The early ones, in Scotland, had to be heavily compressed in order to upload them so they are not such good quality - but still interesting. . . . . . . Alan
To MultiTheScout
I asked the driver if he had fun - he didn't seem to think it much fun!
Late, yes - because of the weather.
No corn - it's maize, and it's grown for forage so the foliage is still eaten quite happily.
To TheDeutzman100
Yes, it was quite exciting to watch, and listen to.
So much maize up this way. Couldnt believe it when I saw the surrounding fields, tall crp too. We have hardly any of the stuff down are way (pembrokeshire north county)
Thanks Chuckles. I shall be more hard on them, though, in future.
To mafei87
Well, I live in Wales which is not in England but is in Great Britain (and in the UK). But this video was shot in Holland.
Think I'd rather watch them here. Comes a wee bit cheaper! And you are talking about two years ago - I have seen it several times, since.
I've no idea. There's not a lot of sitting around watching so it's probably a case of "Jump on and lets see you do it"
Thank you for your English.
Nie drifting at 1;36 !!, great video mate ,wil check out more!
Fair play to the boys who struggled on through that!!
Thanks Chuckles - I was hoping someone would try a little fact, to curb all the speculation!
It’s obviously a wet year and the corn is long past its prime for corn silage. You can chop corn in any direction, why not just stay on the high end of the field? Stay out of the standing water/ low end, either leave it there or come back after it freezes...
That video was taken years ago so your comments, while relevant, are somewhat impractical! But thank you for commenting, anyway.
I missed this video earlier and what a surprise, really excellent. Thank You
+Jan Kotze
It's not surprising that you missed it - it was 4 years ago!
very nice... in Italy there aren't this weather condition when is the silage time!!
Thanks for that - but I wouldn't want you to run away with the idea that I'm the farmer. I'm just the photographer who's allowed in to film it. After this disaster here, he said this year "Don't come tomorrow, we will be on that sticky bit" So I didn't, of course! Perversly, of course, I understand that everything went wonderfully well that day!!
I've noticed that before - mud in the wheel arch seems a major problem in a wet field?
Another amazing video from you bruv
Thanks for the visit James.
Thanks for the "good video" bit, but I don't need a Deutz. In fact I don't need a tractor at all as I don't have any land! I'm just the photographer.
Very well done as usual. Regardless of ground conditions or drawbar loads, the TM's are not the best, traction - wise.
To ddimitris1991
There was 200 acres. We don't need to irrigate in Wales - it rains! Often. Hard! Could do with some sunshine to ripen it though.
Produkcja godna podziwu. Good!!!!!!
5/5
Pozdrowienia z Polski
very good quality :)
Thanks very much.
see they had the muscle helping the other tractors then
Thanks.
Bloody hell what a field. What happened to the maize. its only 2 foot tall. Brilliant video.
of course the case would have to save the day : )
Did the second forager just start in the middle of the field?
Reminds me of 2008 maize harvest. We had ruts you could have buried cows in : (
+bachandefi Hey, saves the cost of incineration :)
+bachandefi ıkuu
bachandefi has
Yes, and it has to be admitted, I should have removed it. But it is SO stupid I was hoping someone would blow him out of the water!
very nice video! excellent job!
To TractorTorque
Yes, I was very glad I was there - DanYRheol don't do this usually.
What is in blue barrels mounted on JD's back? is it extra weight?
Sorry, Brian, you don't know the all the facts. You can't wait for it to dry in December - it doesn't dry. You have to get what you can while you can around here, whatever you do in your neck of the woods. Secondly, it has NOT killed the soil - it is now carrying a very nice crop of maize, best for years. I'll show you if I get the chance, next month. Thirdly, it is not my soil or my land or my tractors - I was just there to film it, and I'm very grateful that I was allowed to.
I like the part where the NH is squirming for grip! I never harvested maize before, is the Case there purely to push the rest out? Does look steep in places mind.
i had no choice going through it and i didnt stop it was the lack of traction ;)
Great vid Alan, very muddy their
Think this settles the JD-NH debate
To elevensixteenths
You obviously have come late to the game. Maize crops in Wales are poor in height - cobs seem to be there. In Holland they are not as good as usual, either.
Well made video.
Maize crop, what maize crop? It only looks 4 feet high.
Maize is often difficult here because of the weather
I always wondered why they didn't use the PTO to add drive to the wagons wheels, so instead of dragging them trough the mud, they'd add some pushing power. Heck, add some tracks there and you'd have huge soft ground capability if paired with a tracked tractor..
nice vid, dont often see two choppers working so closely, do the trailers just have the super single wheels on them or have they got the wide floatation ones? most contractors are going for the wide tyres on the trailers in scotland now, make a big difference
nice video, but omg. that looks like bonzai corn..... Was this last seison? why did it grow so bad?
Did u make that attachment on the front of case to push trailer and John deere
What are the blue drums on the foragers for?
Thank you. Nice to have an appreciative comment :)
To RobbyLucey
I would have added "in my opinion" because your statement is open to challenge.
Here was a lot of mud Alan!
A LOT of mud, Jan. But I couldn't go so close - it was better on the hill top.
jaaaaysus lads the wett soggy ground is a curse
nice one alan.
answer is to expensive.
Well, I think the Case was doing quite well! We don't see a lot of Deutz round here.
Ah! That happens in farming, as I know, so you have to harvest when "possible," which may include some glitches like getting stuck briefly and such. Good luck.
To Agri957
Yes, but in this climate we have to wait . . for the cob to ripen!
To hammy1294
Can't answer your question, since I haven't looked that closely. Maybe someone can answer?
hmm had to be said alan :) as i dont like people critisising my driving when they dont know the simple facts :)
Oh that´s tough to do it in December i never heard of that but for sure if it hast to be done then go for it !!
No. In the UK, yes. Wales is part of the UK (that's why is it's the UNITED Kingdom) but it is not part of England.
id argue with you there to be honest only reason the tm struggled was the tyres wernt to cleaver and the trailer always gets mud between the body and the wheel ;)
Why do you in the UK use such small silage trailers? They aren't even half as big as the trailers we see in Holland.
I'm not a farmer and I don't use trailers at all - but I can use my eyes! Narrow lanes with narrow gateways mean even our trailers are struggling at times. By the way, our trailers are more than half yours - I have been filming in Holland as well, you know.
balmesh Fokkert, a company in this area has got joskin trailers wich can hold 44 cubic meters of forage, and thats just a medium size, in Brabant they often use 3 axle trailers.
Ian Bluemink
We have big ones in the UK but as I said, we can't use them here.
Late reaction....
In the UK, we have many regulations on agricultural machinery size/speed due to the quality of our roads. The maximum size for a tractor/ trailer combination is 24 tonnes. This means if you have an 8 tonne tractor, you can not have any more than a 16 tonne trailer on the back.
The first speaks for itself, the second - get working for a contractor!
To Muehlenknecht
Thanks very much.
@MrSDSTRIKEBREAKER I'd say that the case is only there, to push the other out. As you see the Deere and the Holland wouldn't be able to make it without it
To nzcontractor18
Expensive game for fleet of tractors, and some gateways would be non-negotiable!
To stro1962
Thanks Hendrik. Must be warmer (well, I know it is) in Summer and needs less encouragement to ferment. Here it seems obligatory!
thank you :)
@balmesh ya if you look the jds could get thought the wet spot on the own with an empty the nhs couldn't but the case was unstoppable
Thanks Richard - always a useful reply! Your new chopper been out yet? I've been away for a bit so I'm out of touch.
