Depending on if you have your own kit too . Counted last year the materials, diesel, disposal, wear and tear (our kit has mostly finished depreciating) are under half of what it would cost to get a contractor in to do loose silage, without building the pit. But that doesn't count the labour of 2 of us at it baling.

Bales alot better for making lighter crops of grass instead of paying a chopper by the acre just to do grass clippings when at least with the baler your paying by the bale

All of the water in the sky is out of the back of an aircraft engine, everyday, it's not new and it's very real. I know an unbelievable amount about this subject, the rain is made, it's not chemtrails that's a psyop what you are seeing is water, the water is already there but not dense enough to make clouds, the engine compressed the atmosphere within and it's exhaust is water.. They are not commercial aircraft and it's not really cloud seeing, it's literally cloud making, this subject is massive and I can't go on anymore,, if you think this is all to much what if told you the engine actually runs on the air that it consumes and needs no fuel, yes air burns when compressed enough and the waist product is water,, it's time to wake up. Don't bother writing back with stupid shit I am way above that.. Thanks

Bales are only cost effective at the back end and spring time when cattle are out but you might want to keep them out longer or build reserves after that no point unless you have surplus you want to sell. Pit is far more cheaper and more consistent in quality throughout if sealed correctly cheaper again if you do your own pit. But bales doing yourself aren't cheap no matter what way you do it. Just all depends on how much work you're willing to actually do to save money and the more you do the greater the difference between the two is noticeable and each individual has to justify that to themselves and there operation for me pit all day long forget about bales but I'm prepared to do the work because it's hard to find 10k in farming 😂better to have it than looking for it

We did look at loading through the gateway but it was at one of the lowest points in the field and it was on a blind bend so we thought best to park the tractors up on the highest points of the field and load there.

Clamp is always cheaper for volume , and quicker to feed out , bales are far more transportable , and useful for grassland management, as well as spreading the weather risk , Bite the bullet , and put in a dedicated hardstanding for the bales ,if their well packed, chopped bales you should be able to stack up to 4, high without a major problem.. it takes up land , but so does a Pitt and the apron in front of it ,

@teamidris2 ай бұрын
Aha, yes. It’s about transport. You use the clamp for local fields and bales for far away fields. (Depending on your farm layout) Because you can call the bales off all winter if they are on a concrete pad.

Lovely looking shed. Just wondering why steel purlins are being used in agricultural sheds a lot now in England instead of timber. We would never use them here in NI as they rot like hell in a few years especially around the bolt holes. Unless you can get them proper hot dip galvanised?

@@mikeysky8917 Hi Mikey! The cold rolled purlins we use are a pre-hot dipped galvanised steel. Depending on the spec of the shed, we do still use timber purlins and sheeting rails but cold rolled is a superior, longer lasting product

@@leegilbert-wegobigorwegohome So there are two kinds of cold rolled purlins then? Is there a way of identifying the difference and much of a difference in cost? A lot of shed builders my way are pushing to sell rolled Purlins, sub £30 for 20ft 7” purlin.

Hi Warran, you’re absolutely right and if anything has to change then it’s the bodies that should put that in place for us.👌🏼 The level of trust (not that I had much for activists anyway) diminishes as soon as someone thinks it’s ok to invade someone’s property/personal space… They can be removed with ‘reasonable force’ though, so that’s alright! Thank you for the support!
