Brilliant stuff, fair play for changing it to digital format and putting it on UA-cam 👌
A self propelled harvester in the field and an industrial loader on the pit , unheard of in 1974
Are you saying that they didn't exist? Well I was around back then and I can assure you they did I also know the contractor.
@@cattlewranglerwalsh116 I know they existed but they were scare , single and double chops were the order of the day
@@patcoakley7980 Sorry I picked you up wrong, our local contractor had 2 double chops side filling 3-4 trailers and a ford industrial loader around the mid to late 70's.
@@cattlewranglerwalsh116 that man was ahead of his time really,,is he still contracting do u know??
I wonder was that silage been cut on Donal Cashmans farm a few miles north of Cork city. I remember that outfit with the Styer tractors. I was working for Donal that summer when the silage was been cut and I seem to remember a new silage pit been built but had not been roofed.
Donal was milking 300 cows that time using a 22 unit milking parlour, it was a New Zealand make.
If I remember right it was either the first or second rotary milking parlour in Ireland. Two men could milk 300 cows in an hour and a half.
It's amazing to think back all the work was done on that farm with a 165 Massy Ferguson tractor. I spread slurry with that tractor using an slurry buggy they were a tank that was filled by the agitater for agitating the slurry.
The weather in 1974 was good up to about July after that it broke. I remember silage been cut the first week of December that year on a farm near Athenry.. The pit was opened a week later I can still remember the stink of that silage it was not good.
yes i remember 74 as a child ........we made silage that year andput in fields that were destined for hay as the weather was showery all summer .......we had enough to feed the cattle forthe winter ,,,,,,,lots around here had nothing only bad hay or rotten hay .........the price of cattle collapsed in the autumn .........calves were very cheap the following spring .......we went to charlevele mart and purchased 10 calves , went to where the trailer was parked to load them up for the journey home , to find it full of calves already ...............
very interesting to read that comment, just as interesting as watching the video. I wasn't even born until 82 and it's amazing to think that kind of gear existed back back in the 80s never mind the 70s. Up until the early 90s our silage was done with a double chop Taarup behind a Ford 7600 and with a David Brown 995 drawing. My father on pit with another David Brown 995 on dual wheels and tanco front loader(2 wheel drive, no power steering). That self propelled outfit was unimaginable to me even in the early 90s.
Thanks for uploading ,that was some gear for 1974. Jimmy Healy from Freemount had a similar Steyr pulling a Kidd DC in the late 70’s
That's a very impressive outfit for 1974 I remember driving a neighbour's krone mower with an mf 290 good machine
Serious footage thanks for uploading
very interesting 👌 Well done on getting that uploaded 👏
See it was always sunny back then!!
The Mullagh CO OP in co Cavan had all the same machinery in 1972 .Cut in Cavan /Meath area for a number of years along with pull typ class pickup and Kidd double chop harvsters . Deutz John deere and Steyr tractors .one Steyr i rember was over 110 hp
That’s so old you can see by the camera quality aswell btw I made my own you tube channel it’s quite bad
Anyone know the music?? First song especially?
Thank you for sharing that piece of history .What is the name of harvester
Its a Dania Droningborg ( not sure of the spelling but its Danish)
Never knew dania did forage harvesters or was she a conversion??
Great clip.is that man or outfit still on the go ?
The man is still on the go, he gave up the agri contracting and went into plant machinery after that.
Ford 7000 mowing. Loader very advanced but at a time when anti-roll bars were not mandatory, a bit of a suicide mission on a pit every day.
had twin wheels on .. makes a huge difference .....silage not coming in too quick like today ........also you will be more careful when you know that if you tip the loader over it could well be the last thing that you ever do ........
When I was 16 in 1981 and the first silage pit I made was with a ford 4000 and loader with no cab, we done some crazy things back then and survived.
@@georgedoorley5628 True.
@@cattlewranglerwalsh116 My oul fella overturned a Super Major with anti-roll bar and a Ford 5000 with a safety cab on a pit. Walked away from both. I used to joke with him that he saw the frame or cab, not as a safety device, but as a control, same as an aileron on a plane, that allowed him to roll anytime he felt like it.
@@dellhell8842 scary stuff, He was clinging to the steering wheel so?
Are they styer tractors that are drawing
Looks very like it to me with that white cab profile. My guess would be a Steyr 760 (60 hp) which would be in period then but it looks more powerful. So it could also be an 80 hp 980 model which came out in 1974.

They are styer 1090a .they were 100 hp .and the dania d 5000 was powered by a scania 310 hp engine .he had two styers and two d5000 dania selfpropeled had havester.
@@vabbavabba1981 Thanks Vincent for the update. My goodness, that was absolute top of the range gear for that time.
It was in its day .I will ask him what model the loader was .but I think it was a international loader
@@vabbavabba1981 Thanks Vincent.
Modern air conditioning at the time. Take off the doors
Imagine the whimps of today if you gave them this machinery to dri e 🤣
