Nice new feeder 👍 When putting silage bale in do you pickup dirt from yard? You don't really want that in there Could you demo one of those bale grab/slicer which holds wrap and net think that would make your life easier 👍
George I fed bales in a diet feeder last winter as we hadn’t enough cattle to open the pit. I would open and remove the net from all the bales for the 2 loads and then load them as I need them with a large grain bucket against a wall. It means less getting in and out
Hi George hope you are well, Thanks for a nice 👍 video, It’s a shame you have to mess the paint 🎨 work up, Well you take care and stay safe and well.🌈🌈🚜🚜🐂👍👍.
When cutting silage bales I used to put 2 on the forks leave them on forks while I cut a cross in the ends and pulled back ends then put them on there ends pulled off wrap with forks then jumped out cut the bet off and then pick bales up and drop them in feeder. Found it much quicker
Something to feed the shiny metal disease as well as the cows. An idea with the buttons for the control box is ye could buy a pack of 'rubber feet' what's used for setting on the bottom of furniture. Buy a pack of the tiny clear ones and just stick em on the buttons so u have the bumps.

George, your comments about the move to smooth touch-screens are equally true for cars. Now you have to take your eyes off the road to see which “virtual button” your are pressing, unlike older toggles or rotary dials. They should learn from aircraft ergonomics, where control panels still have real switches, dials and levers. On the upside, your new feed wagon control unit is now wipe clean if it gets dirty from mucky gloves!
Nice bit of kit that👍 I only ever worked on shelbourne tub mixers which were OK but that was just more cables into the cab. 😂 Good video also. Stay safe 🏴
The augers in the green waste shredders are hardox and these are available in the feeder machines. The auger flights are 12 mm at the ends but are 15 mm in the middle where most of the work takes place. They can be ordered double thickness or the standard ones can be hard faced welded.
Hi George my question same as a few others why do you prefer bale silage to pit silage surely pit silage is cheaper and also less labour intensive as you don't need to cut bales and remove net wrap
@@Doyler-gd1su yeah I know net wrap/plastic is very expensive as we do all bales at the min but considering doing a pit next year I was just saying maybe they don’t have a pit
Does seem strange that you now have to look at your controller to see what button you are pressing, seems like a safety issue too as now when you press a button your not looking at the machine, maybe contact them and see if they can develop a cover that has indents to put over it
What draws you to the horizontal type augers rather than a vertical 'tub-mixer' style auger machine out of interest? They certainly don't stay new for long as soon as you get some silage acid in there. I don't understand why they don't use harder metal than bog standard steel for the knife parts, hardened tips on cultivators are fairly common so you'd think some of that development would be used.
Always nice to see updated kit enter the yard looks a solid bit of engineering ,hope you get many years of good use out of it.
re bonjour George une belle petite vidéo , bon courage a toi pour la suite👍👍👍
Nice new feeder 👍

Interesting video George. Can't wait to watch it.
Nice new feeder , great bit of reversing onto the low loader . The cows will be eating well 👍🚜
Lovely new feeder wagon George best of luck with her. It can fairly chop

You could do with an apron of concrete and a wall to make it easy for rehandling the bales

These are the dogs nuts of machines,
If they're as good as they were made back in 2004 Ecogreen,, I seen them in a recycling ♻️ yard eating TV, fridges of all size, mattresses, wood, felted shed roofs, seen it chew a palm tree today,
Another customer has the Eco green one same as George's video with the twin top augers using the ninja star style blades on a massey 4270, 1000pto, it chews green waste for fun, Will mulch branches the circumstance of a slice loaf easily all day every day,
George like the last feeder you will get plenty of use out of this one, Just keep the bearings well greased, Good vid,,✔
Keep it clean HARR-HARR . Nice one
Great looking machine,well wear,you will do a lot of trips on and off that loader over the winter with all them bales,defo keep you fit
Great stuff George , sometimes progress isn’t for the better . If it ain’t broke etc etc . Looks well built 👍🏻🚜🏴
You could do with the bale handler that takes the wrap and net save getting the silage dirty.
I was wondering how often a stone gets picked with dropped bits. That would wear the machine.
Great George Saunders Video, thanks for sharing
Good stuff George and Richard, very nice, well wear:):)

Nice bit o kit there George 👍 didn't know Zago made feeder waggons but augers look fairly similar to their green waste processors 🤔 good video 👍
George would it be easy to build a silage pit @ you wouldn’t have net or wrapping the silage into bales keep them coming stay safe 👍👌🇬🇧🏴🚜👩🌾
Cheers George Nice machine.
Need a clean spot to open the bales on 😂 Tidy bit of kit 💪🏻🏴
Great video george, looks nice well bit of kit.
great looking machine you got there george
Nice One George Thanks again
Looking Good George 👍🤙
Thanks George great vid sir.. Take care...
Looking good George that gearbox look’s hefty but of kit we use Keenan mech fibre twin axle
I can remember the days cows were given a haybale.. how things have changed..
Hallo george good luck with The new feeder wagon i know the System from keenan feeder
Great video
Ya wouldn’t wanna fall in one of those bad boys. 👍🇬🇧
Looks the business, best of with it!
Hi George my question same as a few others why do you prefer bale silage to pit silage surely pit silage is cheaper and also less labour intensive as you don't need to cut bales and remove net wrap
też mam taki ,będziesz zadowolony, pozdro z Polski
Best of luck with the new feeder. Have ye looked at a bale shear? Would safe on getting in and out of the jcd as much
George, any particular reason that ye don’t do pit silage? She fairly chops the bales! Great content keep them coming.
Might be because they don’t have a pit maybe 🤔
Just asking a question, rather than stating the obvious- just interested in the reason as net wrap and silage wrap are very expensive.
@@Doyler-gd1su yeah I know net wrap/plastic is very expensive as we do all bales at the min but considering doing a pit next year I was just saying maybe they don’t have a pit
They would need bloody big pits, George has said in the past that some of them bales are going on 2 years old.
What does fairly chop mean?
Nice video
George good video but why all the bales why not a silage pit ?
Does seem strange that you now have to look at your controller to see what button you are pressing, seems like a safety issue too as now when you press a button your not looking at the machine, maybe contact them and see if they can develop a cover that has indents to put over it
Best of luck with the new mixer wagon👍Is it 3 bale challenge time again?🔪⚫⚫⚫⏱

I don't understand why they don't use harder metal than bog standard steel for the knife parts, hardened tips on cultivators are fairly common so you'd think some of that development would be used.
Could put a pinhead of glue on the controller & your finger would recognize that bump on the button 🤔👀🙈🕵
I was just about to say that before I read yours
Buy a forage wagon and fill that yard with clamp. Would save a serious amount of work 👍🏻
George why do you not use a bale shear to open bales and retain plastic? I couldn't think of anything worse than opening all those bales by hand!!!
Taught the same. And he wouldnt drop half the bale on the ground and get dirt in the feed
@@linuskallin448 you cant even spell "thought" lol
Put dots of supreglue on the buttons.
Why do you make all bales would pit silage not be handeyer manage and a lot less plastic
How many silage bales do you use in a day?
I dont see what's the point in chopping silage so much when cattle are born with a cud I really think chopping silage too much defeats the purpose
Improves digestibility, allows the cows to gain more nutrients from the silage
I think my cleaning 🧼 hands will make short work in the loader
What knife do u use George?
