Universal Hobbies Claas Arion 640.
JoshParkinson replied to JoshParkinson's question in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help
Ok cheers Paul. Just got to keep an eye out for an original decalled 640 now, as UH have changed the decals to the 2011 ones the earlier ones are like finding a needle in a haystack, there was one at Spalding in April and i bought a MF 1200 instead -
Universal Hobbies Claas Arion 640.
JoshParkinson replied to JoshParkinson's question in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help
Okay cheers Sean, would I just need to cut the front linkage off then or would i have to take it all apart and take it out? Never tried to butcher a UH model before, too nervous -
Universal Hobbies Claas Arion 640.
JoshParkinson posted a question in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help
Hi all, I'm after swapping the front linkage on a UH Claas Arion 640 to a set of weights like in the photo, does anybody do these weights and what would be the best way to go about doing it? Regards, Josh. -

Where did you get the Hyster forklift mate? Been after one for a while now. -
I don't see why it wouldn't be, it's just silage/maize is much less dense and much lighter, hence having the extensions to take it up to the tonnage it is meant to be, so in other words you could put silage in say a 14 tonne grain trailer but you would have nowhere near 14 tonnes in there.

That happens to me when i log in at school, i just select 'keep me logged in' and then you don't have to worry about it.

Just came in and just caught on the news it looks as if another mine has collapsed, from what i've heard there were 2 men inside, one got rescued leaving the other one trapped, although i only caught the end of it so mum was telling me what happened, it's bad enough being trapped with another person but to be trapped on your own not knowing whether anybody is looking for you... Poor bloke \

Well i've got to do something to brighten my evenings up, especially whilst working through a 1500 word essay on a writer's attitude to something or other, it gets to the point where you just feel like banging your head on a brick wall And if you weren't around what would we do?! John Deeres would be green and yellow, Massey Fergusons would be red and grey, New Hollands would be blue and white, that isn't right surely? There would just be no variation, the world would just be so... Normal \ And there's no fun in that! Mind you, it might have been universal hobbies holding the match, after all, their ways of making money by changing the colour scheme, calling it a limited edition and charging extortionate prices don't really work when you're around! See, i should be a detective

It's alright until a shearbolt breaks or it bungs up, and that would be a bit of a pain moving them between fields, i can't drive on the road and it can sometimes be a real pain not just being able to nip it between fields, especially when there's only 500 yards or so of main road separating you, so you have to get someone else down just to move it for you. And also for the price of 2 fendts wouldn't it probably work out about the same if not a bit cheaper just to have a much bigger single machine with a bigger implement on the back?

I don't think i even have a limited edition but i just wanted to ask something and i'm sorry for going off topic i will make it up to you guys by staying on topic in another topic sometime in the distant future. But... I hope your house is still standing? Said on Radio 1 earlier there was a fire last night, i instantly thought CONVO!

Spent half an hour-45 mins walking round sainsbury's in Spalding looking for mustard seeds... Mission failed. Then walked up to a model shop that usually stocks siku, closed from today till monday... Mission failed. So decided i would walk up to another shop that stocks britains, he was closing today so hadn't bought any stock recently, so all the deeres he had in stock i already had... Mission failed. Came home and measured up then marked out some ground ready to be dug and sunflowers go on in the spring, just going to make a wooden frame to go around the outside to get nice straight edges when it's dug... Mission completed! 1/4 \

What tractors did you see today without getting photos
JoshParkinson replied to FB's topic in Farm Talk
Ploeger 4 row self propelled potato harvester Fendt 820 + Standen T3 loading a Fendt 716 with a Marston trailer on. John Deere 6930 drilling Fastrac 3185 rolling Massey Ferguson 6480/6485 carting tates Several Fastrac 3230's Claas Arion 640 and Ares 697 ATZ carting veg boxes Challenger MT765B drilling with a Vaderstad Rapid 600s. Spoke to the driver on the 716, what a happy chappy he was, i was going to ring them in the morning as well to see about a work experience placement for next year that i need to get booked as soon as, put me right off. -
.................... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Took me a while to work that one out! And well, it's all about being a jack of all trades, master of none! And by the time i come out of there i will have 2 GCSE's in bricklaying, painting and decorating, and joinery without sitting a single written test. RESULT! And then if i was to stay on another year i would be fully trained but... Nahh, handy to know it's there though.

SEE! I wasn't as far out as you all thought! Although even I didn't think about that at the time...
