    I remember back in the day we had some large four wheel bale trailers with turn tables, it was a matter of pride to reverse one of those in to a shed without having to shunt forward.
    Thank you for the update. It was interesting to note that for the price of two modern balers one could have purchased the Barnby Manor Estate, (1000 acres) near Newark in 1967 for £25000

And build a stack of small bales with a pitch roof that didn't fall down,it was build corners right stack will stand.

    Looks like self aligning Plummer block bearings so should be beneficial on a long shaft. Worth the investment and proved a worthwhile modification to a number of industrial production machines over the years in my experience. The worst saving you can make in heavy machinery is buying cheap bearings a lesson first learned in the army when so many cheap Polish bearings failed in gunnery owing to cheap purchases by MoD civil Service.

    Interesting update! Usually you incorporate all the straw into the soil, to avoid blackgrass contamination, and as green manure, right terminology?!? So with baling it’ll just be the stubble… will that make a difference to the nutrition of the soil with less material being chopped and incorporated? As you’ve baled will you need to compensate with a spray or sewage sludge or something?

    • @WardysWaffleAndrewWard
      @WardysWaffleAndrewWard  3 місяці тому +2

      The lack of straw does not help because it’s organic matter going in but I think 1 year won’t make much difference.
