Great Video, I'm a little confused by the mismatch between the rakes and Fastrac's also there was significant hay left in the paddock, the rows were very small for a large capacity baler which makes it very inefficient, plus i observed some soft bales, thanks for sharing

[@MalcPearce]

You are correct, but Keeble's usually bale and move straw bales on a massive industrial scale for farmers all over east Suffolk so the big tractors and balers are needed for that - the hay harvest is a much smaller side line for local stables and horse owners in the village so that sort of explains the disparity seen here... hope that makes sense. 🙂👍

Why such large tractors on pissy little Claas turners, 70hp would be ample, baler is also missing crop pick up.

DE Keeble are a contracting firm dealing with the industrial baling, movement and storage of straw from behind combines across Suffolk. All of their 8 tractors are Fastracs. Hay harvest is a sideline, so buying smaller tractors for a sideline would not be economical, hence the Fastracs on the small Liners. Hope this makes sense? 👍🙂
