Re: Baling
I remember seeing these self loading bale trailers at the Royal Show in the 1970s but never came across one on a UK farm. It looks a neat labour saving system, I have never seen one loading or unloading before, it beats a Lister elevator any day! How many bales would one of these carry?

Re: Baling
So that's what you get if you put one of those fenland cabbage / cauliflower harvesters on steroids (or leave it in the barn with a Lister elevator)
I was thinking it was pretty low density transport but more than makes up for that as low labour lifting / stacking - don't think I've ever seen one before either.

Re: Baling
I always thought on of these:
and one of these would be the perfect baling team

They used to show us the sales films in the evenings at Boreham but I never saw them both in the flesh working. I have now seen the baler at my friend Allan Cook's farm in Victoria.

Re: Baling
Maybe your experience of baling is different to mine Brian but an artic trailer length in front of the baler would still be too close for me, let alone sitting just behind and sucking all that dust down
The loader on the video is a different matter altogether compared to the initial one, although I might not loose out if I backed Bogside's remaining resident farmer with his assembling sled and flat eight grab on the FEL in a race
Compared to the MIL era / type FEL's the more modern variety give the height and flexibility which this unit gives an advantage over.
The estate had a contractor in last year who did the giant rectangular bales (used to seeing the straw go in round bales) and the handler had a front mounted aligner which barged them sideways, picked one up, next one set first over, subsequent pair set crossways then when full stood the stack up and IIRC stacked them 8 or 12 high - I couldn't even move a single bale !
Times change and not always for the worse I suppose
Hope you can find your 'dream team' at the right price Brian

Re: Baling
Hi,
Nice video. Nothing wrong with DB tractor, is it?
Seen such loaders years ago at a tractor dealer not too far from here, they were New Hollands. A little bit of googling gave me this picture.
Sure saves a lot of sweat and pain in the back. Problem is the rel. low capacity of around 120 to 160 bales. 2nd problem is you can not use them universally as you can with a normal farm wagon.

Re: Baling
Watching that video puts farming with a Dexta a little bit in the shade. Ann says we would get none of that kit onto our fields.

Re: Baling
Just the thing Peter, although the fields here are a bit small for that speed.
Ann has a point Brian, currently you don't need a bowser on standby 24/7
