Mechanizing a hill farm

1. Diesel Tractors. The hill lands of Britain are now beginning to use farm machinery. The tractor fleet had grown to five up to a short time ago, comprising three v.o. Fordson Majors, (1) one with half tracks, a petrol-driven Ferguson (1) and an early Diesel-engined track-layer. This combination proved uneconomical since the tractors could not be kept fully occupied and used three different kinds of fuel. The three Fordsons were replaced by a Fordson Major Diesel and the petrol-engined Ferguson exchanged for a Diesel model; these three tractors, properly managed (2) can cope all the farm’s requirements.

The tracklayer is the mainstay as regards cultivations. With a 4-furrow plough it is invaluable on the sloping ground, some of which is so steep that it has to be worked one way only. The tracklayer is also generally used for cultivating and seeding. The tracks were not renewed until they had done three years’ service, working well over 1,000 hours a year. The Fordson helps out with a mounted 3-furrow plough and the Ferguson with a 2-furrow.

2. Speeding the Harvest. This year, for the first time, a combine was used there. The oats were gathered by binder and put up into the traditional small stacks: the season being wet, the stacks were built over tripods. A Ransomes (3) 4-ft. cut combine was used for the barley and proved very effective. It was hauled by the small tractor. And put up as good a performance as a larger machine, which helped it out. A pick-up baler was used for the straw. The form a mobile and easily set- up outfit. Trouble has been experienced with the baler’s petrol engine, however, and it is hoped to convert it to power take-off drive.

Carting home bales, often a considerable distance on the 4-mile long farm, is speeded up by the use of big 4-wheel trailers. Their ample capacity, large tyres and efficient brakes make them extremely useful m this type of country.

3. Baled Silage. A pick-Lip baler is used for silage. One of the farmers baled about 75 tons in 1954, mainly a beans-oats-barley mixture, in bales weighing about 56 lb. Nothing was added to tile silo; the bales were merely packed carefully and consolidated by tractors each night. The quality of the silage appears to be quite good. The bales were never allowed to touch the ground, but were stacked direct on specially-made 2-wheeled, low-loading trailers with a capacity of 2 tons.

(1) Fordson Majors, Ferguson – марки тракторов

(2) properly managed – при надлежащем уходе
