    Again like German Rocks this isn't my gear but i work for the guy who owns it. He's a baling contractor with a McHale F560 driven by a JD 6930. The mower is a JD 530 mo-co and 6910 tractor. Wrapping is done with a McHale 991BER with Lombardini power pack and JCB 531-70 teleporter.

    These videos were taken a couple of years ago but not much has changed since. The mower was driven by a JD 6800 then but has since been replaced with the 6910. We have a new wrapper now with a slightly different engine but again the principle is the same.

    A 1994 390T with Trima Loader, a 1988 698T and a 1992 365 all MF.

    9FT G&S Mower driven by 390T or 698T (no conditioner)
    PZ Haybob driven by 365
    Claas Rollant 46 standard baler driven by 698T
    McHale 991BJ wrapper driven by 365
    390T used for drawing in bales with home made trailer and Bale handler.

    Not the most impressive collection of machines. But we are self sufficient.

    TS 115 which does the baling and mowing
    1979 Ford 4600 on the wrapper
    1981 Ford 4600 with a bale trailer where necessary
    1968 Ford 4000 with a bale spike
    1979 Ford 550 digger for stacking

    2x Welger RP12s (one on standby)
    Krone AM243CV mounted moco
    Kevernland 7510 wrapper
    2x PZ hayturners (for hay!)

    We only do our own work (1200 bales per annum). Everything works as it should. A quick calculation suggests the machines above have a combined age of 231 years. :)
