Thanks for the video dan! We have only rolled a clamp once for a contractor. We used a brand new front end loader and a tractor gp bucket. We also had an mx 100 c packing the clamp behind the loader. The thing was by the time we pushed most of the first load up a second had already came and unloaded. Also because we had to milk cows!
Nice one Dan 👍 I'd agree with you, I'd have thought 2 motors would be better. the single motor doesn't sound happy with a full load. Out of interest, do you think you get more grass in a box than a trailer?
Nice video there 👍 never used a forage wagon before, is the chop length adjustable and if so what length of chop can it do 🤔 an as u said that hydraulic motor sure is strugglin when wagon is full 😕
Recently subscribed to your channel. Like what I see. The wagon does sound laboured when unloading. At 8 mins 30 seconds into video you have the speeded up footage, sounded like a rally car changing gears, was that deliberate? Keep up the great vids. Where are you based?
We had a Claas Quantum 4700p and we only got 9 seasons out of it before the rotor split/cracked and twisted the back knife plate, but the cost of repair for parts alone was more than the machine was worth, so was quickly written off by our insurers, but only issues we really has was that and about 3 years old it decieded to sheer all the bolts between the rotor and the gearbox, and we noticed cracks in the chassie were the rams were pushng the trailer up on the main frame it started to crack.
With our quantum wagon I lift the front of the wagon right up on the draw bar rams so it’s slightly tipped to help unload, not sure if you’ve tried that?
What wagon brand would you go with when or if you replace the claas? I would recommend pottinger as its one of the most reliable rands in my opinion and with pottinger you can go 15/16k empty or full. Grand video again
CowfarmerDan my friend has a pottinger toro 6013 I think on a MF 6480 and it has something like 4000 acres on it and has had 2 shear bars and tines now and again.
Michael Brown I call it shear bar. What I mean is the chopper blades. Their worker managed to put a boulder in it the first time and bent it. Then he bent the pickup on a concrete strainer and bent the pto and shafts into the main gearbox.
