Silage 23' Classic JD 2850 & RARE JF Westmac DRAG lifting 24th May 2023

DONT MISS this lovely classic JD 8320 in action driving a JF WESTMAC FC850 Drag chopper plus modern JD Carting, thanks to the farmer for letting me film, and a shoutout the lads carting and Rowing . Filmed at Endmoor Cumbria .

What a beautiful video Steve and what a catch! A side-mounted JF, rare as hens teeth these days. Apart from the rake and leading tractors this could have been taken in the early 90s! Have to admit I’m a wee bit envious but this is one I’ll definitely keep watching. Hope you get sh*tloads of views, it deserves it! Cheers, Dave

Very kind David, yes i hope it does well too, it was great to watch, it took me back a few years as well to the local conractor who had a claas side fill for over 20 years .

2850 dragging a power hungry Jf and a silage trailer up a hill no less... Savage !!

[@B1066agri]

Still working fine after many years service, underpowered maybe but still gets the job done .

[@tattoo1084]

Nice setup. Never heard of a Westmac.👍🚜

[@B1066agri]

I think Green smithy used to sell them back in the day, our local contractor used claas machines, cheers David .

Just watched it again cracking job 👏 👍

More subscribers wellcome, cheers for repeat watch . 👍👍🚜

Lovely to see a rare machine at work. I didn't think the outfit could the doubled swards, The Deere can't have much with 100hp if that

[@B1066agri]

Glad you enjoyed it, think it has less than 100hp , more like 90, but stand to be corrected . 👍

[@alanoreilly2043]

About 90hp I’d say, going well . There was 2 of them in my area back in the day

[@jimcraig402]

Supposed to be 86hp, but i used to have one, and on a dyno it was 92 at the shaft. Fantastic tractors, the more you asked them to do, the more they gave

[@thomasjones3946]

Great setup and no music 👌

[@B1066agri]

Thanks Thomas, who needs music to the great sounds of a tractor hard at work . 👍🚜

[@philclarke3203]

Great catch Steve. Can't remember ever seeing a side mounted JF forager working before. Couldn't quite work out how it was attached?

[@B1066agri]

Our local dealer sold JF i think Phil, but Claas were the most popular drags, looking again it is three point mounted and folds up directly behind the tractor, cheers Steve .

[@philclarke3203]

@@B1066agri our contractor always used Class. I had the pleasure of using thier Jaguar 60 a few times when they were busy 😄. Probably is 3 point,but seems alot for it.

@@philclarke3203 i think i may have some footage of one working, but not in HD .

[@jeffreystephenson6946]

I would be interested to now how many hours the 2850 has done She must be well maintained to still be working so hard

[@B1066agri]

Machinary looked to be well looked after, the hours sorry i don't know, but thanks for the comment .
