Olly sell both the john deers and get the 215 you wanted.then get a smaller tractor for the wrapper and other wee jobs on the farm like a small t5 new Holland or a 6120m John deer
You need to lift your back arms up when mowing, the 2 linkage bars on the mower should be horizontal when your on flat ground. Then when you go down or up a hill they will move to contour the ground better👍
I can see why the dum trailer is really useful. Saves time and space without the extra work. I was carting some mud the other day and we had to push it up with the telehandler before we could start for the second day. Funnily enough, we have just bought a new Kramer too as you mentioned the change. They are good tbf, auto grease points which is great.
Hello from Ireland we ran a wrapper years ago with a donkey engine worked well but I'd imagine now days dere would b better ones available! Worth looking into ! All d best
For me new holland and fendt are the best. Olly it’s a good choice to buy a fendt tractor the 516 vario is an popular tractor that is really good for the price that it is I have seen some 516s and I would go over new holland bc fendt is so good we also had an old fendt but we sold it bc we didn’t use it that much sometimes 3 months we haven’t started it. And when we start it it was like nothing. I would love to see a new fendt on ur farm.
We are running a Fendt 724 vario since 2014 for seeding peas, spinache and green beans. It's still holding strong to this day. Sadly this winter we had to change the vario transmission and break package after a little less than 9000 hours. It wasn't cheap. But it's something to expect when you drive heavy machinery all the time. Overall Fendt tractors are really well built and smooth. Even for a tractor from 2014 it matches the comfort from a new John Deere 6R. And a little + point: The fuel tank is massive in comparison with a John Deere 6155R or the new 6R185
Haylage looks promising, plenty of people still use a sub 100hp older tractor on a wrapper in the yard, simple mechanics no depreciation etc. Having said that I am looking forward to seeing a 520 in action.
Forget the premium brands get more cheaper tractors like small 60hp tractor work your wrapper alot handler extra tractors. Less depreciation less hitching stuff off and on and never let down with break downs as.have spare machines
Yes I will pick up a small wrapping tractor unfortunately beyond the farmyard the classic tractors will struggle with the bale trailers and high speed demands, that being said that’s where a little 516 would fit in well on the farm
Come here them tractors done the work before ya.. those 60 horse power tractor are well able for work you have.. sur you have those green yokes to pull the bale trailers. A couple of ford's would be nice around the farm. No hp either. And no electronics either.. be cute man..
Thanks - I think there was another one like that, although I’m fairly sure they were in Oxfordshire… I did similar things with a lot of other stuff and I found that the only trouble was when you never really thought enough about The Future… that’s where the real trouble lies. But in fairness most people know that - even if they can't deal with it!
Why do farmers always ask for and expect subsidies??? If it doesn’t pay don’t do it, I’m a pensioner and there is no subsidies coming my way, had to work 50 years together what I get 🤬🤬🤬
I went to Writtle Agricultural College back in 1978 and got an HND in Agriculture. Loved it, but coming from a non-farming family, the income didn't pay the bills and I had to leave farming for other avenues. I have missed it every day since. Good luck in all that you do.
Hopefully the weather comes back before harvest olly. Currently looking for a fordson super major to do up and use for small jobs on the farm. The spreader would be handy for SFI strips and margins 👍
@@richardtalbot4035 that doesnt answer my question. If you are spraying roundup onto the seed it will be there when the feed is produced. Roundup residue doesnt leave plant for months
Were a dairy farm with three telehandlers been jcb for years but the last one went last year for a kramer they average 2000hrs per year and the kramer never missed a beat best decision we ever made and I would really doubt there is a better telehandler out there
