Totally brilliant video we still have a ford 7610 2wd AP on our small farm in Ni I can remember a couple of our neighbors having NH719 harvesters in the 80s but they were quite hard to drive and didn't know that we'll compared to like s Jf 900 or mengele thanks for sharing 👍

What was the stuff he was shoveling ontop of the grass going into the silo blower?

[@Jim-McKechnie]

Id imagine it’s an additive , they used to use molasses back in the day, it’ll be a modern equivalent- to boost fermentation and maximise sugar content and dry matter content

Whereabouts was this filmed?

[@Jim-McKechnie]

Near the Westbound A8 - coatbridge/Carnbroe - the upgrades to the road now meant that the majority of the farm got built on

😥 Great video. Iron bar would have do a nice bit of damage if it went any further
