What makes a great silage pit/clamp loader driver? We think we’ve pretty much found it all here in one, and we think you’ll agree when we say Kevin Finn from Galway seems to tick a lot of the boxes.
Thank you to Enda Sweeney and his silage crew for the opportunity to produce this clip.

The man that rolls the pit is the man that makes the silage.

@MikeD-lo9yb 6 жыл бұрын

He's doing a fantastic job in a tight/square space. Building the stack beatifully, and I liked how he 'walked' that whole load up. It could do with better compacting though I think

skilfully done; very close to the edge...and it's a long way down! Good skills indeed. Nice job. Ariel pics were nicely done too!

I pushed grass for 15 years and always said the loader driver should get more money than a tractor driver

@ryanman3224 9 жыл бұрын

1. Pushing the full load at once, doesn't matter its what the driver finds the handiest 2. Cleaning the radiator? When it's to hot it says to the driver that it is over heating so the driver doesn't need to keep an eye on the tempreture

The loader driver is the most important person in the crew.end of story.a good loader driver is the difference between a contractor keeping or losing a job.

Boy can put up a pit, no question. In theory all the comments about the banks not getting packed are absolutely right.... yet I've put up enough pits the same way this dude is doing.... including my own at home, and as long as it's covered well there's not any more waste then with a mole heap, it does work.

sure how can you push the full load up without a beast of a yoke like that 😂 good buckraking but not being rolled enough plus the lads with the grapes are vital. outragous mess no matter what you have pushing up the the silage if theres not someone good at building the sides with the grape.

Mikeo Sullivan it's actually better with single tires. You need as much weight as possible on one spot, by adding dual wheels you spread the weight out. So you have to drive over it more often to get the same result

@davidporter4162 4 жыл бұрын

I'm arriving late to this discussion! Nice, tidy job by a skilled driver and call me pernickety but..... The edges are not compacted in any serious way and they are way too steep to cover properly. This means that there will be huge wastage on the sides. Either reduce the steepness of the sides (difficult in that small space) or build some walls that the loader can compact the silage against. Also, that just isn't safe! Slip of the foot on the throttle or miss the brake and you've caused a lot of damage to an expensive loader. Hopefully that's all the damage done.

Nice video - by coincidence, my neighbour asked me to film him collecting some silage at the beginning of July - looks like I missed out on capturing the best bit. Check my video out. Which quad are you using? I assume you had fpv hooked up - you kept the action nicely framed throughout. So far I'm sticking to line of site for my quad videos - nice when it works, but a bit hit/miss sometimes.
