Many thanks for the compliment. Yeh, I think the 135 did a great job rolling the clamp especially considering its weight and size. I know many use a much larger and heavier tractor for the job but would be no good working in this shed! Many thanks for watching and commenting once again, always appreciated. Cheers, Dave.
Another super video David, very good crop on that field, love the video in the pit, nice work looking down on the tractor from the top of the pit , Steve .
Many thanks once again Steve. Yes I always ask if I can film in the pit, I’m lucky in that I’ve known this farmer for years. Bit of a tight one this but a skilled buckrake operator and great for different shooting angles! Cheers, Dave.
This along with your most recent video got lost in my feed sorry David! Cracking video, that’s a totally new contractor to me, and some brilliant scenery too, they look like pretty big fields.
Yes a new contractor on me too Jacob. I know they’ve been on the go a few years but it was my first time filming them. Yeh big fields and a busy road so the trailer drivers had plenty to concentrate on!
Yes, that’s where they come in handy for working in low roofed silage clamps Oliver. Really useful having a quick detach cab to use in an older building, I know quite a few farmers round here that still find them indispensable. Many thanks for watching and your great comment. Much appreciated, Dave.
@@OliverLee390 Correct indeed Oliver. And a block and tackle in the tractor shed beam to winch it off! I’ve just filmed a 390 with Duncan lift off buckraking this last week and will be posting that video soon. Still quite a few kicking about in this area and none will ever leave their owners.
There were a few spots especially in that dip in the field that bogged it down Alan. Certainly a very thick first crop seen as it was harvested a bit later though normally a week early by this farms calendar. Yeh the Masseys were clean and the little 135 made a great job of rolling the pit. Thanks again for watching and your comment, kind regards Dave.
Just hearing the forager grunting and the driver really needs to learn how to operate it smoothly imho as that driveline must be almost to destruction every time he all but chokes it. Very expensive breakdowns around the corner !!!!! The man on the buck rake is upto the job tho.
@@kevinmanley2498 Hi Kevin. Yes there were a couple of ‘ouch’ moments though I wouldn’t have a clue how to operate a SP forager so I’m not in a position to offer an opinion. You’re certainly correct though in saying breakdowns are very expensive not only in money but also in time during the busy season. Totally agree with you on the buckrake operator, he was well on top of the job even with the trailers coming in thick and fast. Thanks for watching and your comment, greatly appreciated. Cheers Dave.
Many thanks again George. I use an IPhone 11 to record and IMovie to edit the clips together. Not too complicated to use and I’m more than happy with the results. Cheers, Dave.
@@davidwinthrop7077 Hi David I film with iPhone 7Plus or iPhone 12Pro & use a gimbal, edit with iMovie or Filmora X on my iMac 🖥 27” I also use a Sony HDR-PJ 650E Camcorder The biggest problem is wind noise when filming.
@@gtritchie5 Nice setup George. I’m nearly out of contract on my iPhone 11 and was looking at a 12pro. Do you like yours? Oh yeh the dreaded wind noise, I know there’s expensive microphones you can buy but even they can’t eliminate it completely. I was out a couple of weekends back and the wind was dreadful to the point I couldn’t use the video footage so a bit of a wasted journey though luckily it wasn’t too far away!
Cracking video, good to see the whole process. How long does the silage last in the pits? I assume compressing it helps preserve the life like it would do if it was wrapped?
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and your great comment. Yes tried to catch all that was going on in the day although I missed out on the rake tractor (another MF) rowing-up. The silage will see the cattle through the winter and into spring, compressing it squeezes the air pockets from the grass resulting in better fermentation and better quality feed at the end of the day so your correct in saying it’s a similar to the silage being wrapped. Many thanks once again Peter, very much appreciated. Cheers, Dave.
Hi John. Yes there were a couple of moments when things didn’t go as smoothly as they should but not being a SP operator myself I can’t comment any further on the outcome of the subject. Many thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. Cheers Dave.
And possibly some ear defenders! Just one cut a year at this farm so hopefully no major health issues incurred! Thanks for watching and your great comment. Cheers, Dave.
Great video. Love all the Massey's especially the 135 on the clamp.

Good use of the Quick Detach cab on the 135!

Certainly some lumpy rows there making the chopper work hard and a nice clean fleet of masseys .
