Cumbrian Silage 2023. Drag chopping with all Massey team including a 6480, 6290 & 390.

Nestled away amongst the beautiful fells with the busy A66 running running by, a 5-strong Massey Ferguson team lifts first cut silage on a lovely sunny if slightly windy day. Rowing-up ahead of the forager is a MF 5610 and Lely Hibiscus 745CD rake followed by the farms immaculate MF 6480 and JF FCT1050 forager outfit. On carting duties are a lovely sounding MF 6290 and MF 5455 towing Norton 8-ton trailers plus a now rarely seen corrugated iron sided trailer from the bygone days. At the very narrow and low roofed clamp a MF 390 with its cab necessarily removed for the farms once a year grass harvest fills the pit.
