There great cows all they pay for !

Would be a bit of creative accounting too, on paper their could be over 10 million of assets in the yard, if their was a dispersal sale in the morning with no reserve, if even half that was gathered up it would be good going

Alot of fresh secondhand stuff, sitting around dealer yards with no one for it, fusion balers been a good example, dealers are after dropping prices on them too to low 30's for well used fusion 3's but still not shifting them, the cost of fixing machinery nowadays means most lads are opting to pay finance instead

Repayments are cheaper than repairs

Artics are the only way to move anything bulk over 5 miles imo, be it silage/grain/slurry etc but then that bring other issues with yard access and handling at each end.

I used to draw grain from that land 20 years ago with artics, unfortunately there's a ghetto of ten houses built at the end of the road now and there's no peace doing anything there now, I used to fill the artic trailers on the road

It's a strange set-up, alot of secondhand stuff like harvesters and jcb loading shovels is their years and instead of dropping price our selling to trade to get rid of they just keep stockpiling it, the prices for pretty rough 414s and 416s they want is comical

Theres a rough 110-90 up there for 17k + VAT. That big Claas on tracks is a fair beast of a machine.

Anyone know if you can buy a plant trailer whereby the rear ramp can be removed if needs be? Thinking about acquiring one but would like the facility to take off the ramp, for e.g. loading/unloading pallets, filling and emptying turf etc.

Thanks; I'd be thinking more about a jeep-town 10x5 / 12x6 trailer however.

In that case, there are loads, ramps normally store under the trailer.

Would prefer the hinged ones on trailers with axle outside rather than underneath the trailer. Not asking a lot am I! :D:D

Have never used a joystick but have used the electric - great job now. I reckon you wouldn't go back to joystick if you went electric.

I assume you are getting the High Speed twin dispenser? I would say spending money on the twin dispenser is the best money you will spend

BE is an easier machine to operate and more user friendly. The joystick is a pain especially if your wrapping a lot of bales.

Lads back in the olden days had to manage with the levers. 😳. Is the BE semi auto?

I remember when bales started here....Lad had to get off the tractor each time and tuck the start of the wrap under the twine on the bale to get it started :eek: Although, lads operating wrappers today weren't born then..... :rolleyes:

My father followed a wrapper for a while years ago. I was only a pup and loved me tractors so used to go along with him everyday in the summer when he'd be at it. My role was to walk to the next unwrapped bale, and when it was loaded, to do as you describe and put the plastic into the twine. I was probably only 11 or 12 at the time if that. As a treat, I was allowed drive and wrap the last bale in each field, but had to get down and tuck in the plastic myself.

Do you recall the wrapper making a kind of loud click, or bang, once every rotation? I wonder if this was how the operator knew how many times it had gone around?
I can't remember what make the wrapper was back then....

I don't recall much repetitive noises. It was a pile of scrap so it creaked and squeaked galore. Blue yoke pulled by a Zetor Crystal. It might have been a tanco, but couldn't 100% confirm that now.

You really dug out the memories.. And have to cut the plastic is well.. And the noise out of the plastic back then compared with now

If you can afford it go for the twin dispenser.
