Baling for electricity

Richard James and Chris Nunn came from Ousden nr Newmarket Suffolk to bale the straw for the power station at Ely. Straw yields where variable depending on first or second wheat crop or previous crop ie beans or osr. The best result we had was 3.66 bales at 620 kg a bale, the worst isnt worth mentioning.

Combining

250 acres a day average, 1000 tonnes a day carted back to the store. We where clearing farms not fields this year. The chaser bin driver kept up with the two combines. The unloading time makes all the difference. Compaction was combated by running the bin on the cat challenger. We need to get the auger made longer or an adaption on the bin to get the chaser on the previous combines wheelings for controlled traffic.
