- Some silage footage from few years ago from before we sold our Elho double chop harvester. 6930 was a little strong for it. Hence why I'm moving slow.
6420s is carting grass and 3420 on the pit.
Thanks for watching.

Ballyhoulihan Agri Videos yes she was good machine. Use to keep her well tuned
Lovely clean outfit,,,,,
Great vid lad where are u from
Patrick Mcmanus thanks. Yes I’m from co. Louth. I’m just north of Dundalk.
gerry6420 yes a great place Louth I am from fermanagh
Patrick Mcmanus that silage harvester came from down your neck of the woods. Enniskillen.that was in 2006. Passed through fermanagh goin to Sligo earlier this year. Lovely part of the world
gerry6420 but the land is bad down here
We all have to go slow with them double chops I had 1 my self and it was annoying to us wrong piece of kit
julie gillanders glad I'm not the only one who had to take it easy. 😊
What have u lifting now a class 900
Looking for advice on the elho
Ciaran Skehan yes what advice you looking
gerry6420 how many knives do you use I was told that the machine can't take in the grass as well with full set how did you get on how many did you use?
Ciaran Skehan ours had 6 knives which was classed as a full set. But you can put 12 knives with it. But u need buy 6 more knife carriers for that. For them to work well, keep knifes sharp, and adjusted as tight to the cutter bar as possible. And make sure your blower blades are also in good order and adjusted out. That was the secret. We also use to sharpen the cutting flails ever 2 seasons just to keep it cutting the ground clean.
Do u cut direct or lift rows. I’ve heard of people lifting 8ft rows but we never got it to work lifting them. Kept blocking. There’s an Elho promo video on here somewhere shows them lifting mowed grass but there is nothing in the row. Very light
gerry6420 we have tyred both using a tarrup in swarts the key was to go fast and not let it drag it in in lumps it uped the acres per hour but it took it's tool on the machine interested to see how the elho will take it in as the hole machine moves much faster and is built better
How many acres wud ya lift in an hour
John Larkin depends on the crop and conditions. About 2-2.5 acres per hour. A bit more in second cut. Out put is slow with double chops but grass quality is still better then anything out of a JF or self propelled
John Larkin north of Dundalk. Near a place called kilcurry
gerry6420 don’t live to far from ther
John Larkin very good. Where about are you
gerry6420 dromintee
nice tidy outfit
Do ya have that chopper still
No I replaced it with the jf900
@@gerry6420 what sort of power you got on the jf900? And what would it's max power input be?
@@alanchatfield5533 I think the book says 130hp max. Gerry has the 6930 on it which i think boosts to 180hp on pto work.
@@WayneMescal ah so she is now in the sort of maximum safety zone of power input lol, jf will have done a bit of derating anyway so 180 is probably max max if you follow, , I used to run a jf on a jd 7700 and then a 7810.. It was ok
@@alanchatfield5533 I get what you mean alright, you could probably stick 130hp in the front of it and hang the engine and it would be alright. But yeah what Jf was that you had? A 1050 or 1100 be better to stick behind them big deeres.
I never thought these forage harvesters were sold outside Finland (where I'm from).
Side-mounted Elhos were much more common than pull-type ones in Finland.
Great video 😎
Here's one side-mounted from Finland.

moi, yes the elho were quite popular in Ireland after taarup stoped making double chops. and we’re a good machine. I have seen the side mounted ones also but not many here in Ireland.

How the silage guilty with precision chop compared to double chop
Beef Patrick Oconnell over all id class it better. It always tested very well. The grass was a bit longer and better for the rumin digestion. It also didn’t go off as fast on the pit face. You know if you hadn’t many animals in at the beginning. And useage was slow, it stayed good longer then precision chop. Down side was in a wet year u couldn’t wilt it.
gerry6420 thanks I doing wagon grass last few years but going back to bales even with 80 weanlings pit goes off too fast
That's some outfit, what happened to it??
