civilpek

Hey guys good to hear from ye all and hope ye are all doing good. ha ha! its like coming back into a room with people i havent seen in ages! The last model I bought was a precesion jd 8530 in dec 08!! Since the recession started in 2008 ive been globe trotting again. Last few years rundown I can not remember now if the last time i was on here if i put up some pictures of the american wheat harvest? That was back in 2008 with frederick harvesting. From 2009 i gave two years working in england on an arable farm and with a sugar beet contractor which was enjoyable but i was working 80-100hr weeks all year long in a place that was not home so lets just say the social life was non existent so i got sick of that . Then i went home for 2011 and did some work for Wills Bros civil engineering and a local contractor i used work with before, but towards the end of 2011 work was getting quite so i decided to head to Australia. Ive been here now a year and a half and im only taking one day at a time these days cos its hard to plan too much in advance but id say ill be here for the next 4 years anyway....... but first chance i get to get home il be taking it. Tris i ended up in the Civil side over here cos well firstly i did alot of that at home also, qualified as a construction manager but it was kinda in the backround to farmming haha. But over here farming is different and the money in civil is far better so you can guess the rest. Anyway im only on my phone now but if i get time in the next few days ill try and put up some photos from the last few years for ye guys. I must go now so see ye later. Great to hear from ye. Ps Sean those masseys you done for me are still up on their shelf in my room at home.

Just want to say hi to everyone here, its been a long time since ive logged on maybe 4-5 years. Great to see it still going strong and alot of the old members i used to be familiar with still here, as well as alot of new members too. I had a bit of free time today so just spent a bit of time looking through some of yere collections and custom models. It gets me sentimental !! Unfortuntaly i have had to put all my collecting on hold a few years ago and had to move to australia for work so it did not leave me with much time for my models anymore . Im still in the same line of work though so thats a good thing, operating excavators here building new train lines and roads etc. but i cant wait to get home again and restart my collection some time in the future not to mention seeing farming irish style again ha ha!. Anyway its good to see alls going with the forum and some great conversions i havent seen before. Best of luck for 2013. Alan

very nice

ye are flat out so up north. got my lawns around the house finished today, just in time before leaving. il leave the grass setting to him

how many more days will you be at the road for pete? uve good weather for it anyway

pete boy, the detail keeps getting better and better here

haha i go mad after redbull sometimes could be dangerous actually theres two guys there from County Down and as far as I know theres 3 more coming over from some part of the North

haha wouldnt mind it and may well do it. the only problem is im not going to have much time off!! well defidiently not between mid april and the start of October anyway, they work 110-130 hours a week for about 6-7 months straight \

thanks guys, not sure how long il be there at the moment. they said there is a full time job there so il see if i like it and all that, il prob be there till the end of October anyway and if things havent picked up here in the mean time il prob be there longer.

my thoughts exactly, the siku one looks crap

well havent posted anything here in quite a while due to being in america and some other stuff, but it will be time again soon. Heading over to the UK again next week to go working with Burden Brothers in kent so should have plenty new opportunities to take some pictures

no way id pay that price for it, it will be only a matter of time before someone else brings one out anyway surely

absolutely brilliant looking, would look cool with awelger rp200 round baler

i agree too, pigs as in this case are one of the most intelligent animals you can get, they sense whats going on, im pretty much anti hunting anyway within reason, but killing animals in such a way as that is disgusting

ive used west dual spreaders like the ones agrium made, never had much problems with them, however ive never really used any other makes so cant really compare

exactly what murray said

really nice topic, love them harvesting scenes. them trailers are are clean , im just catching up on stuff i missed last summer so just seeing it now.

looks brilliant

im going to clean up the under carage of our track machine so i can cut a link out from each side of the tracks ewww

6490

looking good

very very nice, love the wheels

thats the job boy, lovely, what'll be the baling tractor? sorry if its said already but i havent time to read through

go for a second hand 6810 or 6910 with the quad box, plenty power and as reliable as they come, and alot cheaper then a new one. the 6810 i drove had a quickie 980 loader on and she didnt bat an eye lid to it and thats a pretty big loader

stacking bales i used one the right hand door sometimes for a while just to hear bark, twas sweet
