The joys of being a shovel driver! Yes I am stacking bales with a shovel! :D

A nice shiny John Deere 8530 would do you Sean

:D :D I've got visions of you Ben with a cone out, and the pram jacked up in a shopping centre wearing a high visibility jacket!!

Why do you tip end-on in the pit? If I done that the buckrake driver would go mad!

Heat? what heat, Air Con

Tell me about it, there must be a picture of one somewhere!!

2nd time lucky Rob! Hope you flight turns up this time

Yep there should be a side load arm on the right hand side of it (if you look at it from behind)

Corr would love a go on that 2850

Why doesn't your boss do a second cut and sell the bales? Nice kit Mart, is the wrapper worked on cable controls?

Suprisingly not :D The wrapper was annoying me with it's wrap breaking isuues! So got out the tractor in a hurry and went down some sunk-in drain contraption thing :'(

Last night in the dark I done an ankle twist manouvere in a ditch in the dark, And i'm having today off because I can hardly walk on the bloody thing, Not sure if i've damaged any ligaments or nothing \

Ruin my moment Where I 'burrowed' it from, it said 590 It's like copying peoples wrong answers in a school test

You'll have the same problem I have with my wrap carrier now, getting in narrow gateways! The box will stick out when you swing in around. None the less I don't suspect you have narrow gateways up there! And the box looks great anyway, so top marks!

The Britains 590 was issued in a straw box and shared the same casting as the 595. It came with a driver in coat and boots wearing a blue shirt, cream trousers and black boots.

Well where do we start, Britains intoduced the Massey Ferguson 590 in 1977, A year after the real 500 series were produced. The range consisted of the 550,565,575,590 and 595 and from 1978 onwards the latter three were available with a 4WD option In the Britains catalogue, The first 595 appeared in 1976 and the 590 appeared a year later in 1977. It only featured in the catalogue for one year which makes it quite rare and a model high up on the collectors wanted list The 590 recieved the Perkins A4 248s Engine, which produced a respectable 79 hp at 2200 engine rpm. The 590 had a top speed of 26.7 km/h And weighed 4.515 KG. The transmission on the 590 consisted of 4 forward, 1 reverse with high/low range or multi-power, some 500 series tractors were later converted to Multi-Power which is basically Massey Fergusons on-the-go gear change. When you move the lever on the tractors dash the tractor changes gear (up or down) and you do not need to depress the clutch pedal for this gear shift to work (I think i'm sort of right on that one!) The back end of the 590 had a 3 point linkage which was category 2 (I think) and it's maximum lift was 2,227 kg And the real deal The view from the cab was relitively good too Here's a few pictures of the Britains 590 And last but not least, the Brochure front covers for the 590 & 590 4WD and a Spec sheet

What JD was it Adam?

Problamatic bales, that don't do as they're told

That would of made me laugh too, because there's no such thing :D :D
