Sorry richard, another non farmer question, when you did 1st cut and clamped it within the building, you pushed it up with butt rake on front of jcb, but this outside clamp you're using tractor, pushing it up in reverse, any reason, advantage or disadvantage with the with the
That is a great question. The inside pits are covered with a low roof. Using the Buck Rake on the front of the JCB allows us to stack the grass higher and get more in the silage clamp. Using the Buck Rake on the back of the tractor is the original way the Buck Rake was originally designed to be used. The introduction of loadalls or telly handlers over the last 30 years seems to be the new way. They have lots of power to do the job. Our outside silage pit has no restrictions and out JCB is used to feed the cows so just for convenience we used the tractor. 🚜
Hi we feed all clamp silage to the cows. We have indoor pits and are limited to hight because of the roof. We make a clamp in the yard as a reserve. All our round bales go to feed the young stock.

So do you do this when theres no more room for round bales or is there another reason?
