Silaging with Classic old Claas 840 Forager.

Came across this when I talked with the farmer on the Ford 6640 who told me to go down the road and see the rest of his team.
This is the farm's own machine, as are most of the support.
Filmed in Cumbria, England.
NB Some people wish to know more details of location. I cannot do this because I always assure farmers of anonymity, and they are happy with this. Without it, some would turn me away, to your loss as well as mine!

Great seeing an early 840 going so well.. This era of Claas harvesters really helped put them where they are now I think
Great video 👍

Yes indeed! Oldest I have seen working is a 820.
