And usually to press any stones into the ground

No I didn't. I said that they were 1/50 scale that I could get, but I can get 1/32 Mega and Claas decals

Nice pics Phill but why on earth have you got all those weights on the tractor for rolling \

Seconded, especially as I'm not a member of the Massey Massive, not now nor will I ever be Really nice pics though, shame about the big green blot in all of them

I can even give you the name of a good mail order supplier too, down in Devon so not that far from you either Sean :D

Another tip on the mustard seed.... try getting it from a garden centre or seed merchant as its used by gardeners as a green manure crop (farmers too), also used in game cover crops and is only around ?2 a kilo or less usually

Oh its fit for the road, I never use the transmission brake anyway and the chassis rot is minor. Gonna waxoyl it next month

They didn't fail it Mum knows the guy so he passed it on the condition I got it welded up and the transmission brake adjusted, booked in for monday. The garage owner from where I usually go turned up just as i was about to leave the MOT place so all sorted

No chance!! I don't suppose one very small hole is too bad on a 10 year old vehicle \

Not yet John, is my blood pressure going to rise

The MOT testers hammers making a hole in the chassis on my Defender > > >

Fairly common, not so much due to the wet but they make the tractor tread very lightly, that one ways about 7 tonnes with a full fertiliser spreader yet I struggled to see where he had been with it in the fields, hardly a wheel mark there

Lely Splendimo mounted mower, Lely Hibiscus tedders, Weger D4000 and D4600 large square balers and a JD 550 round baler. No pictures as yet, give me a few weeks then there might be Cheers Oli

Well considering that it goes on a mounted sprayer I can assure you that they are, its just the way they are sitting They farm 1000 acres in total with contract beet harvesting and baling as well as a haylage business as well

Have you thought about using this stuff instead Ben? http://www.ema-models.co.uk/shop/catpages/page-DA.html

Tough, you can't have it :D I'd love to put that beside another 7840 to do the same job and watch the owners face when it leaves them for dead :

A very light treading tractor on these tyres, the back ones are appros 3'6" wide and the front ones approx 2'6". Bit of a beast on the road though :D The front box is a chemical safe

Heres a few pics of our other 7840, this one is a year older and has done 7600 hrs. Took this today just before we changed the wheels back to 16 inch ones. This tractor does most of the spraying and top dressing as it has ground speed readout being an SLE model (i think) and the other one doesn't

Quite agree a Claas tractor would be nice but I'd never ask for one of those JD things, myself and my Bosses have got better taste Too right, this one has just clocked 5800hrs, not bad for a tweaked machine and I think the other one which is a year older has clocked 7000ish, it has had the engine rebuilt once at 4000ish hours, something to do with it being 160hp ish i believe :D

The second pic here is for ruskigman's benefit (and anyone else whos interested) and shows the gear set up fitted to the tractor. Closest lever is hand throttle, then forward-reverse selector, next is the main gear lever, in backwards position it gives u 4 electronic gears for faster field operations and in the forward position gives you another four for road travel, theses are doubled giving you another 8 slower gears by using the final lever, in the forwards position it gives you the previously mentioned speeds (hare range) pull it backwards it gives you another 8 gears in tortoise range

As promised yesterday, here are some pics from today drilling sugarbeet with the 7840 and Accord Monopil in the workshop pictures the other day

Nice pics Nick. It is a bed former but not to the same pattern as one for potatoes would be. What you have there is a combined bed tiller and former hence all the blades underneath it

Drilling sugar beet for 11 hours, 50 acres in now, another day on it tomorrow and ours will be in. Will get some pics tomorrow

To give you an idea Marky the 800/65R32's that go on the front of a Lexion combine are ?1200 each for a budget brand so those ones won't be much less or even more than that
