this is a throwback Thursday video to 1996 cutting silage with our MF2720 and JF 900 trailed silage harvester, thanks for watching hope you enjoy snapchat: faremrphil135 facebook: FARMERPHIL
Love these videos. When you can see that its actually possible to reverse a silage harvester into a trailer (with the tow hitch hidden behind it) and to reverse both of them like a train when the load is full makes me so angry when I'm stuck in a car park and some dimwit ahead of you can't even reverse a small little car into a space while the rest of us are waiting lol. Anyone who grew up on a farm definitely can drive anything. My biggest issue with driving a car after learning on tractors was that I was on the side now as opposed to the middle of the cab in a tractor and I was unable to see the front wheels lol. Didn't take me long to adapt mind you. I still miss those days.
We still use a JF for silage. A 1050. 200hp up front and towing 20 foot trailers, picking up 20 foot swaths. We do 40 acres a day comfortably. Cheap silage and well chopped and easy to handle in the pit.
Ya some Bolix I know can't get into the auld tractor with 200 hp . He'd rather put in the next Swarts? Can't Understand silage scattered across a field and all the machines fellows have today? Dirty clothy work?
@@FARMERPHIL3690 Did your grand father (Mother Phil's father) have one as well? I remember him bringing home cattle for my father in the late 90's. the first day he used a 699 and he used the 2000 series Massey the next day after the hazards module burned out taking home the last load in the dark the evening before.
