    There's posh for you, all the bags tied in the back of the jeep! 131 reg?

    sure is, mine would be all filled to the top and then fall over when you brake hard or turn tight going along the road. there is probably a spare bag of grain on the floor having being cleaned out a week ago.

    The father bought it new in the 70s I think . 8 fat bullocks bought it for him he tells me . It is a bit small for the baler but it did the trick all the same .

    Ours came in from the UK as scrap in the seventies (Some loop hole) , we had a new holland baler on it. The brother overheated it one year doing the baling

    The father overheated his one cutting silage aswell once upon a time . He used to have a 43" ug harvester on it I think . I must ask him again what size it was to be sure

    My father and late Grandfather demoed one of those at the time to replace a Dexta.

    Went with a Ford 3000 in the end which is still here and does a similar job to your IH with a IH 440 baler.

    Ah ya. I should have explained better instead of giggling away to myself. There was a local fellow that used to go out on hire with the square baler a few years ago, he be sitting above on the tractor talking away to himself saying the chunk the chunk 50 cent, I always get a bit of a giggle when I think of it :D

    I wonder what swayed them to buy the ford ? Nothing wrong with a ford at all just wondering what was between the two of them . I'd say the ford would have sold more than the international

    We have always been Ford/Fordson here up until two years ago!

    I believe the 3000 was a little cheaper for what they wanted and also it was a little lighter which suited for scuffling beet and other light jobs it used to do back in the day.

    My Grandfather I think took a dislike to the glowplugs for starting the IH as well :D

    Another load. This is second cut that we would normally cut Aug 1 but with dry we need more good quality to keep milkers going
    How soon should you wait for bales to ferment.
    We are going through a lot at the moment and looks like that will double next week as put farm losing grass at the moment with parts starting to burn
