i know the one it's at walford cross between Taunton & North Petherton just opposite the massey dealer , it's a young farmers advert thing see if i can get a pic later

nice to have a go at something different eh mart thats probably the only job to give a tractor driver the greatest amount of satisfaction , a well ploughed field :) not leaving a big headland for yourself though ?

all on the up for the time being then mark , good on you i say , i know you're a nice chap an all , but it's good to see someone willing to take the risk & gamble , unlike some , if you can get through the first year you're onto a good thing , i feel sorry for the people who cant get the first year done . i dare say john still has some of those brazil nuts he could offer you , i sure he & TT have sucked the chocolate off by now , after all christmas wasn't that long ago \

blimey thats a narrow track width johnny , looks good though

some nice pictures there paul , nice to see a farm not overcrowded with machinery , i take it a 590 or 690 will be kept back for light duties , bit of topping , grain drying ?

don't really know how , but i have managed to go wireless \

well thats a first ;D ;D ;D

a-hem...............er well i err yes but....well you know .........i think you'll find it was pritstik i lent you \ so your telling me you been applying glue to your lips everyday

uh huh thnky vry mush.......................

really ? you had to hand over your make up

well i've just had another look & from looking at a 30 series at work yesterday , i don't think there's actually much different about the grill except for the light arangement, although having said that while unloading at a bin yesterday there was a JD 6810 hooked to a feed wagon & a 6830 with a dung spreader, the 6810 did look the better of the two

brilliant ! just love the speed you do these convo's the chaos created & the finished article with the bad quality pic all suits this down to the ground, great little tractors , more the MF 135 nemisis than the dexta really good job mate

i converted a set a while back

nice picture there mark, nice to see the wether change for the better to actually get to take the picture ! now then Chessie ? now there's only two ways the the conversation went & i would imagine they'd sound some thing along the lines of M; now then i've asked your mother & brother & i've been told where to get off , so it has to be you C; me what ? M; to help me get the tractor & trailer ready for the road run C; you are joking ? M; nooooo it'll be great just me an you messing about for the day C; ok but there are conditions, it's got to be sunday so nobody can see me , i'm not wearing MF overalls & i need a few things from town & £200 should cover it ! M; done ! or C; hey dad why not you & me spend the day with the little red tractor & the trailer havent had much time to get it ready for the road run & i think that little tractor's lovely M;*THUD* oops sorry ches seemed to have fallen over just then ? (he says as he grabs his MF coat & mittens which are connected by a string running through the sleeves & skips down the path towards the car .............................)

next time i go that way i'll see if i can find the farmer , unfortunately the trucks are now fitted with trackers , so cant stop & wonder off like i used to

some nice pics there chap , soil look heavy going , certainly keep the cobwebs out

a-ha................... i know where one is i passed it 4 times last week looks to be an elevator model as well

well i just had another look & it still doesn't appeal to me , thats not saying the tractors rubbish , i speak as i find & of all the deere's i've driven , none have let me down & have performed well , yes sometimes better than a few massey's ive had to use ! but i suppose it's only a matter of time before a manufacturer actually fits a full mesh bonnet !

i've left ploughing to be wintered, but never heard the term rough ploughed ,but if you have the right soil, a springtine cultivator or dutch harrows can get a decent seedbed in one pass.............................hark at me you young chaps probably use the new powerharrow drill combination contraption for one pass ;D ;D pah ! one pass indeed in my day we had to cover the ground 4 or 5 times to get a seedbed so fine it would cap after drilling then it required another pass with chain harrows to give the seed a chance to get through the crust \ yep then we'd roll it & at about 6-7 inches height a quick grazing of sheep would be the order of the day ! aah the good old days good old day my one pass aas! maybe if could have gotten away with one pass i wouldn't have back trouble like i do now does anyone put sheep on corn fields anymore ?

any of you welsh guys have any of these , pass one right by the motorway but have never looked it up before http://www.m4trailers.co.uk/

have to agree with than john , the 6400 i used to drive did just as much & more than the neighbours 6600 at the time

well yours is the only opinion that counts on this thread so get it sawted jez , go jus 'ave a word me ole son Oi............... John Deere, new look bonnet...................NO !

it would help if we knew what context the comment was made , after all i seen some absolutly terrible ground being ploughed & that was rough ploughing i've also seen a few pics of markys ploughing as well & that didn't look none to smooth either ;D ;D

you're lucky , the non hgv esso ones don't let us fill that much in one hit that & esso very rarely give anything away i wanted to get tesco cards , i'd be well in on a clubcard or nectaar points , thats what the exeter BOCM drivers do !
