      No it doesnt as other harvesters the spout is further to the other side of the machine, also the trailer man has the harder job so its best to make it easier for him to see, His trailers are also designed to be filled on the opposite side and are sitting far too far off would help if they got a bit closer, also to finish this filling nonsense what side does a combine spout fill from ;p

    Nice job and well done thats a nice lift in the time you were at it, do you find any saving putting your own grass in? I used to do all my own but got a contractor the last 4 years i don't see much difference myself but i guess that depends on what each guy charges, however they are much harder on ground than your own outfit without a doubt.

    • @FarmTheoryNI

    How do you calculate the amount of innoculant that you are applying per tonne? I have similar set up on the baler and its really hard to guage it correctly. Baler forward speed probably varies more than the JF. A flow meter would be the job but crazy expensive

    What’s the reason of having the silage pits under roof

    • @barrett2288
      @barrett2288 Před 18 dny +2

      Less effluent to gather, sheds can store machinery/calves/fertiliser. Plastic sheeting is dry as are the tyres, much nicer to work with. Can store hay or straw on top of the silage. Pit face is dry through the winter. Silage that falls on the concrete can be scrapped up and fed and not mixed with a load of wet rot if there was no roof. You basically get twice the use out of your silage pits if they’re roofed.

      It's just opportunity cost. I spend my time rather with cows and milk three times per day than sitting on a tractor. The contractor can do all in one day. The contractor has all right machines and good people. If they break down I don't pay and they have backup. But off course every farm and farmer are different. I do pay alot but if I plan early for a cut I am first and they finished with my field before the rain starts.
