This season’s compilation of silage making and the various machines that include self-propelled, trailed and reverse drive outfits that were working in the fields of Cumbria in 2024. Kicking off the proceedings (and ending the video clearing the field picking up the last row of grass) was a 50th anniversary Claas Jaguar 860, fresh out of the box on its first day of harvesting supported by a modern MF carting team followed by a New Holland T7.210 and classic Claas Jaguar 75 trailed harvester with a John Deere 6430 &. NH T6050 on the trailer work.
Next up and probably the biggest operation I seen this year is a JD 8600i SP and modern MF & JD support team and then the one of its kind in the area Fendt 828 and Mengele reverse drive set up with a MF 5713S, MF 6490 and Claas Arion 460 team.
Again a new 50th anniversary Claas Jaguar SP, this time a 960 model flying through the crop filling trailers pulled by Valtra & Case-IH tractors and finally a JF FCT850 trailed harvester now in its 29th season powered by an immaculate MF 7614.
Normally I would film a few more teams working throughout the summer but with this seasons weather being so unpredictable it seemed everyone was in the fields at the same time so it was impossible to get round everybody so my apologies if I didn’t make it this year and hopefully I’ll catch up with you in 2025.
Another 2024 best of the year round-up video to come before Christmas, this time a clamp work compilation that I hope everyone will enjoy.
Filmed in Cumbria May-June 2024.
