Lucerne or Alfalfa harvest. Dutch company Timmerman specialises in growing, processing and drying lucerne (alfalfa) & grass for animal feed. a unique John Deere 8600i forage harvester is used to harvest the crop. The crop is cut using a Fendt 936 with 9-metre wide Krone triple mower followed by a New Holland T6.155 and ROC RT 1000 belt merger. This 10m wide machine makes light work of gathering 3 swaths from the Krone. Finally the special John Deere 8600i comes in to chop the crop and blow it into containers. The articulated steering machine has been fitted with a hook lift trailer to quickly pick up and drop the containers, which Container trucks then transport the green feed to the factory.
