Enough power for the baler in that Massey?

Is he running the PTO in 540E or 1000?

Couldn't you get it rolled in the spring? It looks a very bouncy ride!

[tractorboydavid]

For the last time, Its straw not hay!

roll this in the spring and you would of just squashed all the crop

[Mackeson3]

I know it is straw, I meant rolled the growing crop in the early spring with the Cambridge rolls, or was it too wet? I lived on a farm for 40 odd years for crying out loud, so I know what I am talking about!

jees sorry mate dont shout at me like that, yea we doroll it with cambridge rolls in winter after its planted, but not again ?

[Mackeson3]

Oh yes we did and everyone else did around me. Usually in March while the crop is small, not during frosty weather of course and before it starts to tiller out . Especially on light land or if the frosts had caused the land to 'heave' over the winter. It helps to conserve moisture. Many years ago farmers used to run a light set of harrows through wheat in the spring! In fact the practice is coming back in a way among the organic boys. e.g. Google "Hatzenbichler-Harrow comb"

Cheers!
