FENDT 516 TEDDING. MAKING SILAGE.

[@henryellis154]

smart little 516 just perfect for that job and you got the right green on it

[@ArchersView]

Great follow up video to yesterday, great quality Drone video 👌

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Jobs a Good-en I’d say George! Another excellent vid and a lovely bit of kit.

[@ginggur17]

Used to be a favourite job tedding when I used to help a small holder. Mesmerising. Damn I’d be in my element. Great video.

[@benmiddleton1585]

Another great video George, love your machinery 👍🚜

[@aledowen9406]

Silage in my part of Wales started today it's looking good

[@kennethgreen2829]

Wow George, this was kinda unexpected in that for no reason and completely unexpected watching this took me right back to my youth rowing up and bailing hay (original small bales) on our old Dairy Farm. Rowing and baling was always my job from about age 12 onwards (that's how it was back then) and I would still be like a pig in muck bailing small bales all day long now if I could. Even at that age I knew our old Massey baler and hydraulic flat 8 accumulator inside out so no waiting for my dad if any issues cropped up. Happy days and talk about a massive dose of nostalgia. Top video your sir as always.

That tedder is doing a fantastic job!

[@jackrawlins1044]

Got the same tedder mate. I got a vid of our going up next week. It's a good bit of kit. Used to have a 20 rotor krone but not as handy for road work

[@me8927]

Top video mate

[@ΒαγγέληςΓκρέτσης-μ1σ]

What does the tedder really do? Does it help the grass dry faster?

[@fionnmcmahon2894]

Yes

[@benmiddleton1585]

Βαγγέλης Γκρέτσης it turns it over to dry out the grass evenly and then it’s raked up and baled

[@martincourtney4147]

Tidy job 👌

[@kaj-agehenneberg6312]

Hi George. Enjoyed the mowing and tedding videos. As I'm writing a mod for Farming Simulator resetting game parameters to real-life values, I would really love to hear what yield you will get out of this, either in tonnes/acre or bales/acre. All the best/ Kaj Henneberg, ArmChairFarming.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Hi Kaj, this yielded approximately 11 bales an acre/27 bales a hectare. At a rough guess the bales weighed around 600kg hope this helps 👍

[@kaj-agehenneberg6312]

@@GeorgeSaunders Thank you very much. It helps a lot. The round bales in Farming simulator are about 1500 liters. I've set the mass density of silage bales to 0.46 kg/Liter, so the weight is about 690 kg. But my yield setting was only 11 round bales per hectare and 5 (2600 Liter) square bales per hectare. So I'm very pleased, that I can increase this by a factor of 2.5. A new version of the mod (FS19_RealLifeNumbers) handling multifruit maps will be out next week, and later a version with typical numbers for England. So at that time I might ask you to try it out and look at the numbers, assuming you also play FS19.

Really good George I still can't get over your intro with the big T-DUB I like your hat too where did you get it??

What is that handle at the back window on some fendts that looks like a handbrake handle

[@kristoffer4752]

It is the handle to the trailer hitch

Its pick up hitch locking system

[@TheFarmer123FarmingPhotography]

So hold on its not absolutely necessary to tedder silage?

[@willycase6430]

TheFarmer123 - Farming Photography no u don’t have to . Depends what you want to do with the silage , if it’s goin for matter in the digester it can be abit wet , but for feed it should be dryer.

[@TheFarmer123FarmingPhotography]

@@willycase6430 thanks

[@MrE30]

If I was tedding I’d have the back window open, it’s a lovely smell kick grass

[@SinkyYT]

So, most people think that a car has high millage if it has 70-90,000 on it. What's the equivalent in hours on a tractor? What's considered a 'well used' tractor to farmers? I'm just curious since you mentioned the hours that Fendt has on it.

[@jacobotes8443]

Tractors normally are garuanteed from the factory with service plans up to 2000 hours. But good tractors can go to 10000h and usally if the engine gets overhauled the rest of the tractor goes for a long time

[@kristoffer4752]

Under 5000h is good, over that you need to expect to change out parts

[@gijsvermuntagrifotografie]

pølsemakern some sooner than others..

[@gijsvermuntagrifotografie]

Sinky if u get a tractor to 10k hours it probably won’t take long till it needs a new motor. But it all depends on how u handle the tractor and what u do with it

[@kristoffer4752]

@@gijsvermuntagrifotografie I live in norway, i feel so bad for a lot of tractors, they are used to snowblow and plow the roads free from snow and they get destroyed by the salt. I see tractor that is 3-4 years and have around 6000-7000h and totaly destroyed and look like a 15000h tractor

[@colincampbell3679]

Is that Tedder 11 meters! Boy it don't look that? 11 meters is 36 feet 3 inches. Must be my eyes George that looks smaller than 36.3 feet across :P funny how the angles play tricks on us?

[@MrE30]

Up in the farm that I help with tedding they skip the first outer row in case of rocks

[@aaronbambrick870]

if they was rocks the tractor driver operation the mower would sure get off his arse and move them so you would be fine to do the headland (outer row).

What is that tractor on the left of the new holland one at the very start of the video ?
