Bob Glover if I am thinking of the right man. I remember him from working with Heston Machines in the Mid Seventies, mowers, 6400 Swathers, Foragers. Good days. We took part in a Hesston sales video. Would love to see that again.
@@richardcantrill4513 Yes ! Spot on. I remember some of those videos, they used to be played on an odd little tv screen machine at all the shows. Unfortunately the Bob passed away Christmas eve 2022 aged 84. I met up with Roger Haynes recently, he's still running a Field Queen 7655 in Canada.
@@Spotteroo Sorry to hear about Bob, I know you said he had been ill for sometime. I remember Roger cutting forage maize with his Self-prop Hesston, I had a ride in the Cab. That would have been circa Autumn 1973. Almost 50 years ago !
Not sure where the 7650 came in the Heston evolution but it seems to be a field queen without the ability to carry the grass as well. The field queen needed the big wheels behind because that's where the weight of the grass was carried. As far as I remember they had a V8 Detroit Diesel engine and that was a beautiful sound.
7650 I believe was a Detroit v6
Can you post a version without the music? would be great

@@ArmitageFarms The video is private
Good to see an old 7650 still in action. My old man worked for Hesston as a mechanic back in the day.

Change from boots to wellies from 5:30 on, ground must have got soft. Nice outfit.
she's picking up a nice sward of grass for an old harvester
Front wheel steer in a forage harvester seems strange to me
So did most other designers.
@@alexveldhuis6004 at the time yeah. Just not used to seeing old foragers lol

Maybe a new air filter
Is that the same as a field queen in the states?
My thought also, sure looks like it!!
blower paddles need to be set properly in haverester
euro 6 ad blue too ;))
Moteur cummins où caterpillar ?
No smoke no poke
Why not have one that cuts?
If you want to wilt (dry to 50%)it first, you must cut, wait 24 hours, then chop. Direct cut happens, but you will have a lot of liquid.
@@alexveldhuis6004 and a lot of poor quality silage... All the good stuff runs out of the pit with the water..
