  1. The Cheetah can be used with any tractor over 70-80hp, they don't need alot to drive them so could even be a smaller one
  2. I think what you have there is a Vari-Diamant Jason, I used to use the 1-1 version of it and thats the name that was on it If its like the rest of the plough range, models that start with "Euro" are mechanical variwidth, the furrow width being altered by nut and bolt, whereas models starting "Vari" are Hydraulic vari width so have extra linkage and a ram on them for that purpose
  3. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm : Do I smell something here
  4. Keep ya grubby mitts off it and leave the ploughs to me :D :D

    Opinons wanted

    There's some good advice there, as I said to you on MSN last night don't forget to work in your insurances and diesel when you are doing your set up costings, the mention of hedge cutting makes brokers break out into a cold sweat at times I know that you like your Massey's BUT there's a lot of electronics on them at that age and with the sort of hours they'll have on in your price range you will be asking for trouble, an 8340 although very good would be too small power wise for what farmers local to you require and it too would have it's fair share of electrics fitted to go wrong. A 110-90 although a pocket rocket is just totally inadequate for a large arable area, whereas one of its bigger siblings like a Winner F140 would be perfect with a bombproof engine and backend, they too can be picked up for ?10k or less, are frugal on fuel and pull like a train. I myself was looking at the older 54 series Renaults as there are no electronics fitted to them, they have the ultra reliable MWM engine which will never give trouble if serviced properly and providing it has the basic 16/16 gearbox won't need any workshop visits. From what I was told they have a near perfect weight distribution which gets nearly 100% of the available HP through to the ground and of course being a Renault aren't in as higher demand as Ford, JD or MF so the price is much lower. From memory these were in production from the early 90's right up to 2000 so there's loads out there if you can find them, and even on the first models built, the TZ version had full cab suspension, not something that was available on any other conventional tractor of that age
  6. I wouldn't have left the garage with it until they had been sorted or at least knocked some money off the car for it
  7. Thats doesn't stop the little scroats letting them off in the streets, we've had them here every night for two weeks now. Anyone whos's talked to me on MSN will have noticed my comment about them on there, our poor cat is terrified and won't go outside at night anymore >
  8. He couldn't even find it on any of the pre christmas shipping manifests yesterday when I asked about it \
  9. Conversions in toys and games/Diecast and vehicles is a good one
  10. Thats the mesh I use for the grills in the front of my root trailer and the guards on the beet harvesters, good to use
  11. These are scheduled for December arrival on our shores if thats of any interest to anyone
  12. Should be dealer box only at present, regular UH box is due in December is what I was just told

  18. Finished laying the laminate flooring in the conservatory, just leaves the rest of the skirting board to stick on tomorrow now
  19. I've made several changes to the site lately, several new pictures on there now as well as a few new pages. Thought it needed a little updating as the plough pictures inparticular were out of date :D
  20. That sounds a very tempting offer although I get the feeling it wouldn't be a restful break for me :D
  21. Nice pictures Sascha, must go try and find my chaps 6 row Garford lifter at some point You are right Ben, when Siku first planned a beet harvester it was going to be a Stoll V202 but between the planning stage when the catalogue was released with a picture of it and the actual release it had changed into the Holmer. I do have a catalogue somewhere with the Stoll pictured
