A few photos of the silage harvest

My parents made silage on the weekend, here's a few photo's that I've played with on Gimp to get the monochrome / colour split

I hear you say sialge, but I see no black bags

Wrapping was done at nearly midnight, we aren't rich enough / have a big enough access road to afford a combined baler wrapper.

What's the year/model of the tractor in the second photo? It looks nearly identical similar to the last one owned by my grandfather's farm.

She's a 1963(ish) Fordson Super Dexta, running a Vicon Acrobat rake.

The other two are a 1987(ish) Ford 4610 GenII and a 1970's Leyland 285

Life and the farm is a cool thing. Where I am from in the USA's midwest, there were a lot of family farms when I was a kid. Unfortunately, that appears to be changing. Cities are expanding and people are moving into the country. Plus, corporate farm companies seem to be putting a lot of small family farms out of business. I didn't grow up on an actual farm, but your pictures do take me back; as I had friends who were farm kids. Great photos. Thanks for posting them.

Nice work. I like these a lot.
