got a picture of that josh before you make a start on it ?

Already stripped it down i'm afraid, although i can put it back together loosely, i'm not sure whether it's limited edition but it comes on a thing job can't remember the name now that said about the 1993 truck show thing, i got it from my uncle who's into his trucks, he said it was worth quite a bit at the time so it might be a limited edition, i'll find out, I'm trying to find a picture of it on google but i can't find it 

Ahh yeah, so it was a student run farm then basically?

I've just been doing a bit more research and found this...

I looked at something on another website which basically said it was entering and exiting the cab (that sounds pointless) checking the tractor is safe, moving in forwards and reverse, hitching up implements, and working a front loader. I feel perfectly confident behind the wheel and am quite happy hitching up both trailed and mounted implements, adjusting the implement when in the field, reversing into tight spaces with trailed implements, loading trailers with the loadall etc, but like you said it would look better on my cv to a future employer and while i'm younger it might make people take me a bit more seriously.

I've had a couple of people ask me whether i've taken a junior tractor driving course, i know a mate of mine down Hereford way has taken one, but i'm just wondering what they are all about really? I'm 14 and i thought they were a proper college course so that's why i haven't looked into them further, but i've heard they are just a couple of days and you can take them before you are 16? Do i contact my nearest ag college or is there a proper company that does them or what? And if anybody has taken one i'd be interested to hear whether it really is worth it?

Cheers in advance.

Josh.

Nahh, not my style.

At the end of the day who am i to judge somebody who i've never even met, never seen behind the wheel and have only spoken to over the internet, Nahh.

cheers, my number is 07790382143, i have a provisional (so i can drive a tractor on the road) and im 17

I'm going to prank call you at 3am, well actually i'll be asleep so i'll get my cat to do it.

She'll be like is Mr Walls there? No.

Is Mrs Walls there? No.

Is there anybody by the name of Walls there? No, there are no walls here.

THEN HOW IS YOUR HOUSE STILL STANDING! 

I'll get my coat...

don't know whether they will still be there now, probably worth trying in the morning.

You don't really want work on the bigger farms do you? I'm just thinking as there's a big veg company near me (LFP) who are about 17,000 acres of veg and cereals, spread over 80 miles and they always seem to be taking lads on, they run modern kit, there's a train station in spalding, but it's up to you really, i can get you a phone number if you're interested, i'll leave it with you mate.

Our new buy. This 6620 is a '54 plate with 4000 hours on the clock, it's replacing our '96 6800 with 6300 hours.

Cheers mate, will do!

That is a great idea

as long as you have not patented it I might just make myself one 

Cheers.

Nahh i'm only kidding, that's absolutely fine!

28-29, couldn't get it exactly but it is that approximately, i hope this helps

50 x 16

Not me myself but at work we are hoping to buy this '54 plate 6620 to replace our '96 6800, we have had it on trial for the last couple of days and i took it germinating and rolling and it seems to handle a 6m germinator with ease, unlike the 6800 did.

It could be related to a fat man!!!!!!!!!!

A SUMO WRESTLER TRIO!

nice going there josh , damn good idea & possibly one of the first shown on here. like many members it's something some of us wish we'd had but never get round to actually building one !

now tell me, i have a trailer that needs a respray as the last lot of paint didn't take too well & is starting to peel off , if you could do it for me that would be great , the dimensions are , approx 35ft long & 12ft high & dont really want to pay more than £4500.00 - £5000.00  oh & send the bill to Mole Valley Farmers 

Space might be an issue there mate 

Dropped my 2 chocolate donuts on the 6820 floor 

The sun makes all the difference i find. A machine working in the sun makes for much better photos than working under cloud, unless you're going for that 'dramatic' feel about the photos

Lovely photos, i especially like the ones of the 8345RT, i tried to pick a favourite but couldn't really, i'd best try harder eh 

Thought i'd just update this, i stopped posting as i wasn't getting much response but i might as well anyway.

This morning i was burning off linseed straw, as you can see, the heap on the far left is the result of leaving a 14 year old with a loadall and the ash on the right is the result of leaving a 14 year old with a lighter 

Then this afternoon Andy was flatlifting and then yet again i was powerharrowing and pressing.

It dousnt look that bad the paintfinish is superb en ok you already mentioned the rear tyers but al by al when the rolbar is on it look prety darn good!

Regards Johny

good jab hi. i'd ned to get a move on with my yoke..are there will be no pullling to be done.

Cheers guys, and yeah Dominic otherwise you'll be pulling with your ears  actually that sounds painful!

well its different    looks great Josh, just decal her up and a roll bar and it will look amazing

Cheeeeers Pat 

Ahh looking forward to it mate, the only thing i would recommend to anybody wishing to do it in the future is that they use the Joal valmet pulling tractor and just convert it, that's what i wish i did now.

Well this morning i tickled in 8 acres of rape with the powerharrow and press on the back of the 6820.

Then after that i went back and fetched the 6920s (on row crops!) hitched up the rolls and rolled it.

Arrived back and jumped in the loadall, pushed all the linseed straw into a heap ready to be burnt in the morning.
