Silage 2023 - Lifting Grass with Reco Mengele & Ford NH 8340 plus Massey Fergusons 6290 & 6490

[@igagri4817]

Look forward to seeing this outfit every year 👌

[@TechnoMoffat]

Me too, probably a highlight of the summer in my opinion. They only do 1 cut a year now with it as only doing beef now so its always very nice to catch it.

[@balmesh]

Lovely catch! I can see why you look forward to it every year!

[@TechnoMoffat]

Thanks Alan, indeed!

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video again nice to see the reco Mengele still working @ the Ford NH 👍👍

[@TechnoMoffat]

Thanks Sandy, certainly is.

Hi nice to see a trailed forager, it's getting forward with just lifting the swath as it was mowed:)

[@TechnoMoffat]

Indeed, thanks George.

Lovely video of a classic 90s silaging outfit. Those Reco Mengele forage harvesters possibly the best machine of its type ever and perfectly matched power wise to the NH 8340. AS Marston trailer almost looks too small with the MF 6490 but it’s probably at least 10-ton so maybe not. Great video Tim, throughly enjoyed it. Cheers, David

[@TechnoMoffat]

Cheers David, yes it is, nothing stops it its a proper ol' unit even in the thickest of swaths. It does a bit but yes its a 10 ton and otherwise looks more matched behind the 6290.

Good tractor ford

[@TechnoMoffat]

Sure is, thanks!

[@mickjennings2968]

Love the reco used to use one on a IH 956 XL

[@TechnoMoffat]

Very nice, bet that sounded a treat.

[@danielbanks9000]

Proper old school. No modern stuff. 6480 on the chopper would sound goid.

[@TechnoMoffat]

Indeed, the farm with the 6490 does run a trailed one, take a look back to last year if you wish there's a vid on here or two of it on one.
