There's a lad over in England that l follow on YouTube that has that trailer setup. He calls it a cattle float. Up on jacks or stilts as u say and just reverse in and drop it down. "Olly's Farm"

That Irish lad in France made his first one of those about 25 ago for the back of a flat bed rigid he had at the time. Used to put up sheds and could use lorry for that and to haul cattle.

The slurrykat bale trailer with hydraulic sides is 20k + vat

Does hydraulic sides mean the nordic style rails that lift up and down avoiding strapping down or platforms that fold out for leveling spud boxes

Dunno about the trailer, I'd say it's a bolox to get lined up to put Back on.

I didn't mind watching that fella either until he came out with the gym gear on and I just thought gob****e!

Ha! I'll tell em I've been saving my communion money for this.

They were bought at a clearance sale of a deceased gentleman farmer in his ninties who had the tidiest farm in the country.
The total of the two lots, a 94 reg tractor
6100hrs and an 08 heavy duty Kuhn mower with not much work done came to with commission and vat on commission €14,500.
The tractor seems perfect to me.
It was a rob as far as I'm concerned.

Ah I don't think so.. Maybe but I'd say it might be a bit too much.
I might find out next week. By right she'd want to be reshod on wider rims and new tyres. It'll do all my lighter jobs.

Any idea what the small unpainted tipper trailer made? I was wanting to buy it for drawing dung and sticks etc, we didnt get to the auction in the end.

No sorry I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the lots bar the ones I was interested in.
There was a big crowd at it. There must have been 300 at it.
Thanks.

Well wear! Sure a Ford like that is an investment, and the mower looks like new... Is she on 30" wheels? They look small in the photo....

They are 34"
I'd like to try a 38" and maybe a 18.4 tyre.
The owner had it as a sprayer and hedgecutting tractor.

Big operation here

Markcheese · 22-09-2019 10:27AM

On the mini zero grazer, would it be possible to stick a small mower on front of a round baler?
Or if You have front links...
I suppose if youve got to go out and get a tractor with front links and pto, then get the baler and mower, then put floatation tyres on everything the mini zero grazer might start looking cheap...

Single chop harvesters will soon be back in fashion

Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire is where most the big combinables operations are, go out into Fen country and Norfolk/Suffolk for Veg.
You'll have Dyson(ad-plants) and Munks up in Bourns country, a little further south. They'll own very little land just a big version of a contractor contract farming(farm for a set price and share any profits).

Yea you nearly put me in the ditch. Ya langer..

I'll stay with it for a while still anyways. My other one was just showing a bit of age. The side slinger is still handy for the little bits of jobs when you're drawing from the yard on the road. I'll still be getting contractors for the big pile.
It should nearly do my lifetime anyways, it's the first brand new dung spreader I've ever had here.

I was busy looking at the spreader

We still have our 2090 here, will probably rot from lack of use now

You'll have to do a video on it like the funky farmer!
