hi all,

this is my new agri contractors display.

its going to be made up of med size contractor , some feilds and in the future a farm yard.

here are some pictures i took today. as you can see i have a long way to go.

please tell me what you all think good or bad .

enjoy

i seen this in the farmers journal today and taught i'd share it with you all.

this is beening built by a irish company called jac-a-box ltd and they are based in co. fermanagh

first the tractor unit can be used as a normal tractor unit.

or you can fit a flat bed platform onto the tractor unit for the transport of goods or machinery,

or you can fit the the livestoct box on the the flatbed platform. it can also be fitted with a split level deck.

2.

the tractor unit can also be fitted with a drawbar so a trailer can be towed

it has a payload of 15 tonnes and a price tag of 10,000 euro or 9,000pounds

got my 2 5640 sle 2 and 4 wd today they are still in the boxs but they do look great can't wait to get them out. well done steve and karen

that really sucks marky but as jo said what goes around comes around and lets not forget the wheel must turn a full circal. i really believe that

very nice build you have made your self, looks the job behind the tractor. but if i can say would a single axle not be more common for a 8 ton trailer, sorry had to ask. jason

its a other lovely start to the morning here, sun is out but there is a nip in the air,

i have really enjoyed reading this. full of great info and some very nice pictures

there is a video that i got the little lad that shows a lot of his machinery . i think its called the big john deere series 3 by lindon film . some one can correct me if i am wrong

ricky won't be to happy with you blake, there's the profit margin starting to slide :laugh:

the local contractor here has 5 or 6 smyth trailers nice looking trailer

i hope i am in the right decade (fingers crossed)

so for me it would have to be the ford 7810 and the john deere 3350

sorry marky i can't remenber a good massy 

i used to drive a 175 with a loader, that was a great little tractor, and then there was the 595 now the less said the better

sorry marky ;D

well here in midlands ireland the sun is out but its a bit chilly, nice day in all

happy birthday old man

i am almost sure i have a grapple out in the shed if i have its yours

very nice collection for fords there tris. hope to get my 5640's this week in the post . fingers crossed

got these two sheds off a fellow ftf member model ed

first one will be a workshop when i get around to kiting it out

this one is going to be my grain store its about 100 ft by 50 ft

thats ashame rob, that head teacher deserves a clap round the head for that, hope your son forgets about that experience

that is not nice to hear that, and the problem is that childs parents dont give a sh*te what there child does,( sure it will toughen them up) bull that you hear them say, it makes me sick.

i see it 4 nights a week while working on the door, starting at about 11 at night and still hanging around at 3 in the morning the abuse and behavour of the kids is un real now i am talking about kids of about 12 to 16 yrs of age, smoking, shouting abuse at people, starting fights, and one night lately they even brought a staff type dog up to us and treatened so set it on us. they are too young for the gaurds to do any thing with and they are not afaird or nor do they hve any respect for them, but my question is where are the parents and where do the parents think they are. sorry for ranting on it just sickens me to have to see and lissen to them every night,

thank you for your reply ploughmaster, i have an understanding of them now. i will be getting a radio controlled tractor next year as that new rc plough was the deciding factour. thank you again for your help jason

can i ask what is the difference between the siku radio controlled and the siku infrared controlled machine's. and will one work with the other? ie can you mix them

i got a large piece of astro turf 6ft by 9ft yesterday for only a tenner  :D  happy days

hi lads,

i have  just put up a 8 by 8 foot bench in the shed for a display for home and shows , i plan on doing a modern beef and tillage farm

the problem i have is ,i have not worked on a farm in 20 yrs, so i don't know what is the best way to do it.

i need to know is :

what type of sheds people are using in modern beef farming? ie: slats or straw bed

what is the best system to use? ie: feeding barriers or what

these are probably not the right questions to ask but i can not start as i need info to set out the farm yard, and at the moment i am lost

any help would be great

thank you jason
