Nice pics Ol Shame that the harvest field smell can't be captured as well, such a nice smell

looking good Would handle it a treat in 1:1 Rich, we have a TM175 on a Welger D4006 and a TS-A 135 on a D4000 so its definately something you would see

Thats true enough, economical isn't a word or phrase he understands, egg in face is though Oh dear, must be pork sausage finger disease then like i have :D :D

Keyboard batteies going again Sean : :D For me Gordon flippin Brown and his budget > > > Luckily my Defender doesn't come in the so called 'Gas Guzzling' bracket they talk about but what they forget is some of us rely on 4x4 vehicles for our jobs, how would i get across a field to a boken down machine with a Ford Focus or similar The laughable bit is that its more ecmomical than John '2 Jags' Prescot's Jags :

Nice pics TOG I guess traction wise given the way that you mount your duals over there its a reasonable deduction. But as most people here only use the clamp on stocks ones i would imagine that they would jst turn within the tractors rims, i have witnessed it a couple of times on some tractors. Its usually only the big artics that have bolt on ones here from my experience and smaller ones with row crops like our 7840. Can't remember seeing any others with bolt on ones \

What about two hydraulic ram pistons in a plastruct tube You would have an eye at either end then unless you want to canabilise a UH model

A few years back Dowdeswell made afront mounted furrow press suspended fro a hydraulic arm by chains that fitted to the front of a tractor. The press could be move to the left or right of the tractor by the arm or it would lock up in the centre of thetractor for transport

Now thats a scary thought :D

Nice pictures Rick Looks like I need to mop up this section again, just got it clean after the last lot of pictures, drool gets everywhere :D

Thanks and no probs Tris. You'll have to come up this way for a while as several contractors are looking for staff once they start harvesting maize/sugar beet

You could try the chap who's details I gave you the other week, he might be able to help you out as I know he has a few engines and some scrappers about the place, if he can't personally he may know a man that can

There's a story to the other one but its too long to go into on here, I'll tell you on MSN if you're unlucky one day :D

Hands off, you can't have it :D You wouldn't need an 8340 when both this one and the other one are more powerful :D

Unfortunately the shed is too dark what that one is in, i will get one. The other one is the one thats pushing out 150hp ish at the PTO The only JD thing on the farm is the round baler luckily, they have better taste than that :D

Thanks Sean. Its a Garford front hitch as that tractor does the beet harvesting with a front mounted 6 row topper and rear trailed elevator lifter

Drill folded up, just need to refit the markers as the shed wasn't wide enough to unfold it with them on Tractor has done approx 5500hrs and is turbo'd to reach 135hp ish

7840 now with dual rowcrop wheels fitted to the back ready to go

Heres a few pictures from today, I've been getting the beet drill ready by changing 96 small brass bushes on it. The bushes hold the seeder units tight and keep the row widths at 20 inches, however as they were worn it was allowing them to move between 18 and 22 inches. The pictures aren't as clear as usual as they were taken on my phone First new bush next to old one and the 7840 which it's used on

We had a proper tractor on it and it wasn't working overly deep We're growing about 100 acres, don't know too much about the history of the farm as yet

I know, we had a lot of wet weather last night and during the day today with wintery stuff. Even had to check with Chris on msn as i couldn't believe the difference in a few miles

Nice pics Chris, can't even get on the fields over the border here, its far too wet Reminds me, must get a picture of our 7840 on Terra's, comes under the heading of road hog

Makes perfect sense to me

Definately not a Numpty but if you persist I'll give you one instead as he says he has never been a big fan of New Holland but has made an exception for this, so if you read it properley its fine. Of course if you think it deserves a numpty it means you haven't read it properley so deserve one yourself : :D

Happy Birthday Ricky! Seems a long while since I was 21, not that long ago really though

Very wise words John, unfortunately my old boss never done that and came back with useless things at times or ones needing a lot of work \ ?50 now wouldn't even cover the first hours labour at main dealers prices these days if something major went wrong
