Wow what a trip in time thankyou so much. Recently lost my dad and being fortunate enough to be raised on a dairy farm many years ago I was witness as a little boy to all the technology changes over The years from the sickle bar mower to dad owning a David Brown 995 until recently. was used just as I'm the video. I ended up driving a Class Jaguar 890 self propelled foragee for many years making silage. At 42 years old now You have gifted me with a treasure haul of long forgotton foggy memories of an amazing child hood with my dad on the farm. 🙏
Good video brought back few memories,I remember silaging in late sixtys bout six of us in a gang took four weeks then mabey second cut. Regards from Lincolnshire UK. 👍🚜
Nice combination of Case-IH 844, NH 717 forager (when you only needed 80hp on the chopper) and 2wd John Deere leading trailers. Cumbrian reg plate (HH) on the Case so up in my neck of the woods!
I remember when we were kids fishing by a river bridge at the bottom of a long steep hill and the smell of overheating brake as the little David Browns struggled to hold back their loads.No cabs and single axle trailers with galvanised sides ,the drivers always gave us a toot and a wave though.Great video,great memories.
You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Issac Jaxtyn Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Such good Video it takes me back to the era I started properly for the Business. I remember the machines and how better in how Hardy they were compared to today's kit and would rate them in some respects to Today's machines! Was great video!
Cracking video.. nearly brought a tear to my eye. Reminds me of days long gone and the best days of my life. It's just not how it used to he these days!
I have just in the past years of so been watching farming videos. I find it fascinating and inspiring. I respect all farmers and even though they work hard every day, I envy them. They are such an important part of the natural world.
The UK lads love filling trailers on the right side, which is the wrong side, also that roll bar on the Matbro doesn’t offer much protection in a roll over.
Right-hand side always seemed the most logical to me. Forager controls, pick-up, spout and trailer all within your view! Also the Matbro doesn’t have a roll-bar to start with (is it the same one at the end?) but had it’s cab removed for working on the indoor clamp. We did the same with a MF 298, perfectly safe with dual rear wheels.
While it would be nice for silage to be more of an event like my Dad always tells me. It took weeks. I wouldn’t go back to the old tackle for anything!
I can't work the economics out for modern day silage making the capital cost of modern day farming doesn't add up in my book must be the eu gravy train funding farming these days
Rather disappointing, "From old to new silaging" What about how silage started with the Single and Double chop machines, You have gone from 80s/90s to today how about from when it started
