Moin moin,
after I left last week Friday, the area around Bakersfield, I'm further north at the height of Tulare - at the Kings County. More specifically, in Corcoran said. The screenings will take place again now with the JCB, which makes the whole thing more comfortable for me. Friday after I press both the tractor and the pickup truck had reacted with trailer, I took the opportunity to direct the evening, the customer, which today was a demonstration planned to press with. He was with his three Hesston presses in the field, and I've checked all the settings during the test presses. Finally, the JCB is a bit higher on the clutch, and thus had to pick up and - as it turned out, the position of the towing eye on the press - to be reset. But after the eye had a hole set higher, was the work of the Pick Up again satisfactory.
I am Friday night and Saturday mitgefahren in the column, and thus had a great opportunity to try different settings and speeds.
After I had first pressed at about the same speed as the Hesston presses and about the same data - 50 food parcels per bale, bales of 2.4 meters and 8-9 mp / h - it turned out very quickly that I had produced far more pressing density. Unfortunately, I could weigh the bales in the morning anymore because the ball collecting cars were faster.
But in this picture you can easily see the result: The row in the middle with the 6 belongs to the Hesston bale press. The number left of it with 2 bales visible here - is a third party then on the headland "not active" - I have pressed with the crown press. And at just 65% compression force. I then slowly increased the speed until I arrived at about 13 mp / h. Keep an eye on the ball of the Hesston balers. The beauty is if you ride side by side, you can always see right where the ball densities are approximate. This rough estimate is as follows: I take a bale of Hesston, which I happen to Starting point, and watch the moment on my ball Progress - inch eg 70th Then I continue and I see the passing of the Hesston bales next, I look back on my ball progress of my next ball. Does it now only 50 inches in, I know that I have pressed for 96 inch barrel length, almost 20% more material than the Hesston. This ratio was approximately 11 -12 mp / h in contrast to the approximately 9 MP / h fast Hesston press.
I then weighed after pressing some quick ball, and out came the following result:
The ten weighted bales of Hesston presses were lower than:
640 kg, 701 kg, 606 kg, 639 kg, 637 kg, 619 kg, 626 kg, 710 kg, 692 kg, 657 kg
Average: 652.7 kg / bale
The ten weighted Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP bales were at the following values :
855 kg, 808 kg, 845 kg, 844 kg, 835 kg, 777 kg, 820 kg, 835 kg, 837 kg, 896 kg
Average: 835.2 kg / bale
The bales were right next to each other in the field. The conditions, which terms are likely to moisture, so its been roughly equal. And as I said, I was about 2-3 mp / h faster on the road and therefore have significantly fewer layers in the ball - so it would have been even more weight in it. The alfalfa hay was approximately 9-11% humidity (varied depending on the position on the field)
Here is another picture - the crown again next ball to the green HDP-yarn, and right the Hesston bales with the white yarn. The ball collection vehicle was difficult to tow, where you could already see and hear the charge on the field and to which ball variety it was. The crown bales were as briquettes, and remained very stable when lifting, and popped when you drop it right on the table. The Hesston bales were unstable during the lifting, and not so far, according to the filing.
So much for pressing - and what comes next?
Even if it does not deal directly with the press, I want to give you a brief overview of the further activity on the field. The rule is, the faster is watered, the faster can be mowed again. 21 days is a common period between cuts. To irrigate, can be the first renewed the dams between the plots.
Subsequently, with the degree of the field edges nicely done again, so that here again clean walls formed with a small groove on the sole.
Then come the pumps and then when the other machines are ready, the actual irrigation're off.
The field is flooded again shortly, so quickly transformed into a lake before the water then flows out the other side.
The remains are then still a small pump again pumped out of the gutters, and then you can not enter about 15 days, the soft, muddy field before it is due after 20 days, the next mowing.
And who now believe from the photos, the weather here is always the best - yes, the weekend we had up to 35 ° C - just in time for the envisaged demonstration this morning, then rain with cool 20 ° C.
Thus we are once again thwarted at least 2 days. Somehow, this year is already really crazy here. Hopefully it will warm again tomorrow, that we can possibly squeeze again tomorrow evening. Until then I wish you well!
Greetings Niklas
