Silaging with Claas and Kuhn MergeMaxx 950 - Thickest Crop of Grass EVER!

  • AJ Tatters are the contractors, and here they have a VERY thick crop of grass, I'm told it's the third year since seeding. Seems that this year has been a good year for grass, around here. It certainly slowed down the merger - I wonder if it slowed the chopper? I didn't notice any slowing down, myself . . .

    That forage is the definition of "Tonnage" . Good video. Is the reason it is put in windrows because the moisture is too high?

      Not really, though it does help conditioning. Reason is to make it easier and quicker to pick up.

    It has been a better year for grass here now there is rain more often, but haven't seen anything like that. Merger seems to do a good job if it doesn't slow the chopper with that thick swath, with certain types of older rakes it would just curl up into a sausage and be very difficult to pick up

    • @balmesh

    Do you think our 'lock-down' had anything to do with perhaps letting it grow for longer before the first cut. With the N.West hit so bad I know several farmers who have had tractor drivers and their families"isolate" for a period, it all makes a difference to the farmer, especially when it is not a particularly large farm.
