must admit the black of the 00 series looked better than the 10 series calve scour brown interior the way you're going you 'll have to change your name from powerstar to powerquad :D :D

found another monster 15 ton feed wagon with another 6610 belonging to wyke farms parked at their own feed mill & pig unit today

staw is an option but was thinking more along the lines of oil seed rape & have bio fuel powered stations.

:D :D sounds about right

this is what p1sses me off ,there are 1000's of non productive acres & the government want neuclear powerstations ? why not pay the farmers to grow crops for bio fuel ? sorry gone off track \

ahhh, sunny days as a 12 yr old marching up & down barley fields rougeing wild oats ,having a laugh & sratching yer knackers when the barley spines got into yer shreddies ,happy days :D :D

yeah there anr't that many left round here either considering i'm smack bang in the middle of a milk field . when i started hauling milk at chard we had over 700 producers on our covered area when i left 2 yrs ago there were only approx 350 these have since been split into other collection areas

nothing to do with you getting the tractor, just the thought of a scotsman crying :D :D

somehow i imagined you to be bigger than this BGU :D :D :D

how much for ten Mark ?

:o :o :o :o :o

SH!T now you've done it!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :D :D

seconded :) please reinstate the drivers, the people who don't want them can bin them at least they'd have the choice :)

:( :D :D

? :D :D i wish . naked oats are a horrible variety to handle, instead of dust like any other cereal this little b@stard has got a fine fluffy texture, bit like fibreglass roof insulation in dust form. to service the combine i wore a mesh chemical spray suit to try & keep it out .This was alright till it was time to empty the stone trap under the header / concave elevator ,if you can go all day & not give in to the urge to scratch, rub or itch then you're ok ,but soon as you do it once then it's murder for the rest of the day, come the end i'd service the combine & go & have a shower at breakfast but i'd still wear a new chem suit for the rest of the day !

always the same & it goes for the wheat & barley harvest as well can't wait to get started but always glad to see the end of it anybody had any experience with naked oats ? i have very nasty stuff

:D :D there's a farm near to work we collect milk from & they've got a 15 ton mixer wagon on the back of a ford 7810 ! but not all is what it seems as this 78 has had an engine transplant from a ford cargo truck & is now rated at 210 hp & doesnt look much different from any other 78,but when you do look at it you get that niggling feeling that somethings not quite right? :) last i heard they were going to swap it in but i don't know if they have yet, but someone somewhere's gonna get a hellish tractor? ;D

it's a 10ton feed wagon i think this one has dirty great upright pyramid screw/auger ? unless that was thier old one? but this thing will eat ,mash'n'munch 2 ?silage bales ?at a time

you're easily pleased FB?

i know there are a few more JD 10 & 20 series tractors about of theirs but did'nt get to see them. last pics ,my drive of the day tipping at wyke & one of their older ERF's, they also have a few ERF ?EC knocking around the country side either hauling cheese or pigs or liquid feeds. i think most are the ford models but i have seen a 2wd NH this was the tractor i thought might be a 36 lurking in the yard

there was a 6900 out with the umbilical cord spreading slurry from their pig units but was too far away for a pic.

Sorry NH2 but it's not a 3600 this is the spare yard tractor for when the others come in for repairs or servicing the others are 5030's 2 & 4wd

got a few pics of Wyke farms kit while tipping at their dairy. Wyke farms is no more than 2 miles away from Barbers farms ( the farm with all the NH kit) & opperate the same princeaple? ie: a complete fleet to serve all it's own farms from one base . The prime movers are all JD but each dairy has 2 ford/NH one loader & i scraper tractor.

nice pic CP, all deeres look good ,but they look even better with the wider tyres on . Is she heavy enough for silage bales as the farm i was on we had a 6400 with low profile mich MX's & the rears were balasted at all times as it was the only loader we had & sometimes the potato boxes get very heavy ! & couldn't afford the tractor to be tied up by having a block on the back. I know the 68 is a heavier tractor anyway but a friend of mine also uses a 68 + loader combination for the feed box runs & says it could do with a bit more weight on the back

shoes ?
