  2. will try to get over to ireland maybe next year for a holiday, as i got loads of relatives there somewhere , must ask dad where thery are , aparently my aunties brother has a farm so will ahve to find out her maiden name
  3. $6000 thats a fair bit of money for an oldie TOG , wouldn't a 6.05 suit you better ?
  4. i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i tink we're havin trouble wit yer accent , fer sure ,fer sure :D ;)
  5. yeah ,it's good to talk :D
  6. lazyness & the availability to plough ground faster without having to mark the field out beforehand, pain in the bum having to cut a bye each time you strike out & then having to match it up to finish , with a reversable , you just set it up & off you go from one side of the field to the other . it does seen surprising to see the ammount of conventional ploughs that FP send over though
  7. it maybe the case of identity , like that dutch turf contractor in CT a while back ,he ran steyr tractors so adopted the colours as his own, so when he bought his fendt 930 it was sprayed in the red & white of styer , as thats the colour people identified with his company , this terracotta may have been done for the same reason ? that or the original panel had been damaged & thats a replacement pannel , which i suspect is the real reason

    Nice paint job!

    no sh!t sherlock :D :D
  9. TOG : never had much to do with the 120 as i always had a 6.30 but to all intensive purposes it was the same tractor bar the extra 5 HP, the two newer 6.30's had the multi-speed gearbox (6gears per range) whereas mine was an 83 model & just had 5 gears per range , but the're real work horses , never had a problem pulling a 5 f REV & press on heavy ground & handled a 4mtr combi-drill with ease, that & the low center of gravity was great working on slopes. Although the 6.30 i used was 30kph it still kept a good pace with the 40's, we did have a problem with the clutch pack on the pto in the cold but after it had warmed up it worked fine ( more to do with it's age than faulty components ), i did consider getting a 4.70 when i took the farm on but , there wasn't a decent one in the area at the time , providing it's been looked after i don't know of any serious problems to be had. never driven a big 2wd deutz, or a powershift version so i can't comment on them , but i don't see a disc mower giving it any problems
  10. look good 936 , 700kgs , certainly puting a patteren in the lawn with those front tyres
  11. it will certainly save agrivating conversations on the phone , that reminds me ,my new phone hasn't turned up either
  12. promising start to what could potentialy be a great farm board

  15. well impressed sean :) maybe i was trying to be too hi-tec in the search for a kwik-fix shed , what with the plastic corners , still havn't got it through & argueing where it has gone as it was suposed to come from the suppliers this time really good work mate 10 out of 10 for that one :)
  16. yeah & the sound of a 6cyl is fantastic when running full throttle :)
  17. no just plenty of saw dust & sand to mop up after it :D you do realise yer going to be mugged as soon as yer off the plane & all ports & docks are under close surveylence ;) kepp it going mate , it's looking pretty bloody good
