I sacrificed Claire Byrne earlier to watch it*****Sorry Claire’ xxxxx
@OurCousinVinny So was it worth the sacrifice …I hope so !
@johnwandersonagain Ya i reckon i had a better chance of getting a ride on a tractor,,,
do they both have the same loading shovel and foragers ????
@NH1352 Ronnie has a JD7550 Forager & Volvo L90 and Eddie has JD 7700 Forager & Volvo L110
how the hell can anyone dislike this video? great stuff, boys:)
@edgey8D Don’t know! But I think it comes from fellows who would love to be able to make a film like it but just cant do it
How much do they charge per acre.I’m just wondering how they can make a decent profit with the massive cost of the machinery.How many seasons would it take for a Krone big M to pay for itself.This way of silage making has more or less died out in my part of the country .Its now all round baling and wrapping we do.Surely they are just working to keep the bank manager happy!!!
@willyphelan lad i na wat u are on bout we hav a great fleet but i hardly hav the money to get an ice cream
years ago i was at ronnies and he had a 2nd hand 5830 jd and all his tractors were real old at the time
I got this DVD last week it is brilliant the camera work and editing is top class the picture is better than broadcast quality.It is lovely to watch all this mighty equipement in action. Well done lads thanks again.
@p4460 I believe you that sounds just about right!
@willyphelan every penny goes back into the gear we do 5k acre and it dnt pay
@p4460 I heard the same thing about a contractor down our way once.With all the wages and diesel to pay for the cost of running an outfit must be huge not to mention depreciation on the machinery. which begs the question why do it?
@willyphelan u only do it for the love of it cus it dnt pay
What was being pluged into the tractor at the end..?
whats the name of the song ??
it could be the pump for the deasil bowser that is getting plugged into the tractor at the end
