  • This farm has some open fields where a large vehicle can access. So, this lorry waits for when the trailers have all gone and takes the grass till one returns. Neat! Just the weather for it, too. Must be tricky when it's muddy.

    This would be a Walking Floor trailer, quite handy with bulk haulage. Great video 👌

    Seen videos of trucks being used for carting maize in the states, but not in this country, too wet , usually?? Good idea to keep the chopper working, but doesn't look right in the field, keep the tractors! Great video though Alan!

    • @balmesh

      Great point! It's not right, but different, and quite interesting!

    Very nice, Alan, I've seen videos in US and NZ with lorries carting but certainly a rare sight over here.

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety +1

      Glad you enjoyed it, Tim. They do it in Holland but even there I have only seen it once (and a much smaller lorry).

  • @grantgilbert2312
    @grantgilbert2312 Před 4 lety

    Fair play to that lorry driver, one decent load, and not flat ground to load on either! Fair play 👍 from me

    • @balmesh

      Absolutely. Agree with all that.

    Here in New Zealand we basically just use trucks to cart silage as it is cheaper and faster. We are slowly starting to buy more trailers as the trucks are always getting stuck. A second hand truck that is good for silage that has done 1,000,000 kms is only about $20,000

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety

      Thanks Drew. That's interesting. This one is, of course, used for other things most of the time.

    So how does it come out of the lorry trailer as it looks like it doesn't tip? Or does it?

    • @balmesh

      I assume it does? But there's always the hand fork !!

    Wonder is the truck load going to a digester?

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety

      Don't think so - it was just off to the farm and unload at the pit.

  • @e.tagriculturephotography6753

    wow ! nice one, interesting to see that there carting with lorries aswell !

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety +1

      Yes they are! Useful if you have one.

  • @cloudmaker
    @cloudmaker Před 4 lety

    There was some skill full driving by both drivers whilst loading the lorry. Lorry driver was well in tune with how the silage job worked. It wasn't quite the flat open field I was expecting to see a Scania artic working in as they are not the best for traction. That was fantastic and in this country quite rare. Very enjoyable, thanks for that.

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety

      Dead right. Both drivers have to be on their mettle!

    Good video. That contractor must have some amount of money if he has a truck drawing

    • @balmesh
      @balmesh  Před 4 lety +2

      How much money he'd got is no business of mine - and he didn't ask how much my car cost, either!

    • @daf_jockey736
      @daf_jockey736 Před 4 lety

      They have 6 wagons in total I think and they work full time. Very rarely do they actually do silage

    • @Veitchy1375

      But you weren't there! Some of the time there were NO trailers there waiting.

  • @TheOriginalNaugaHyde
    @TheOriginalNaugaHyde Před 4 lety

    Had to hold my breath for the turns at the ends of the rows. Especially as the trailer fills. Very top heavy and uneven terrain spells tip over hazards. Especially if you get into too much of a hurry or are working with inexperienced operators. Pretty neat though, seeing a truck driving in a farm field.
