In a race to get our wheat cut before a big storm, we have our New Holland CR9.80 and CR10.90 cutting together in a 340 acre block. Between them, we are cutting at over 30 acres an hour with very minimal losses.
The conditions are dry and the straw is fit so we have the Massey Ferguson 4x4 baler right behind them. This is being pulled by our Case Optum 300. Tight behind the baler is our Big Bale Transtacker being pulled by the JCB Fastrac 4220.
This 56 acre field is planted with the Motown variety of winter wheat. It yielded 4.78 tonnes to the acre.
It is amazing to see how this team can clear a field so quickly. We would have had our other New Holland CR9.80 with them, but it was on another part of The Estate, finishing off the last of our Oilseed Rape. Maybe we can get all three together before the end of the season...
