A few more, think I may have posted some before but these are the bigger versions of them.

TVT175 and 4m Vaderstad

JD 7920 and GB Discordon

Oh Deere : : :D

Found all these on a disc my mate gave me. All were taken during harvest last year. The first four were called by us "it'll be fit when we get to it" as the barley was no where near fit but we were told to have it anyway

A couple of our old 460 and the then bosses Fathers 460 in wheat and then beans

A challenger had on demo by them last Autumn after I'd gone

Probably thought you are from the immigration department

Exactly what I was thinking Graeme :D

no its a 3m drill, the sumo is a heavy piece of kit though 

We had one where I used to work, couldn't steer the tractor without a drill on the back to balance it out

What model Renault is that?

I went down the woods today with a few friends trying to find the most dangerous things to do on bikes and tried a practically vertical drop which then curved back up ( like a bomb crater ) and inevetably fell off but was all great fun. And then this evening the desperate struggle to compliment my girlfriend, every compliment is contredicted 

Thats about right, tell them they look nice tonight, they say well don't I normally then. Get used to it Nick, it won't get any better : :D

CHeers Gav, Ben will like that shed too he was looking for something like that. Do the feed barriers go all the way around the shed or just on those 2 sides?

No problems, thought you might like them. The railings are just on those two sides, it is hard against a hedge at the back and a shed on the other side

Last one for now- this is the joystick that controls the Quicke QD75 loader on the McCormick, fitted to the right hand armrest and is less than 3 inches tall, controls the lift, tilt and, by holding in the button on the side the grab/release on the attachment Bit different from yours I believe Colm :D

You may have noticed that they all were against the railings, think it might have something to do with me parking this the 10 feet away from them (pic 1) fairly large cattle shed height wise

A couple of the newer members to the herd

A few for the cattle fans now from the farm I delivered some hay and haylage to this afternoon

The roll

I was thinking the same - its been over 4 weeks now since we had any sizeable amount of rain - and according to the national farming press everything bar maize and some beet and spring rape is in the ground at this stage 

The beet I drilled earlier this month is now through here so it needs a drink, the spring rape went in this week so it just leaves the hemp to get in next month now after we have taken first cut off the grass

Here's a few more pics of the McCormick and the rolls taken today

Looks good enough to me - sure its only grass - never know after a few hour's rain :D

First thing my boss said this morning was shame it's not raining The ley's I'm rolling are getting to the hard as concrete stage now, everything needs a drink so it can take the nitrogen up that we put on last week and over the holiday weekend

its for my sulky dpx 1154 john ill have to keep looking for someone to make me some

Are they a similar size to trailer brake rams?

we got one like that roller but it isnt that heavy so only use it in the wets spots around the farm and we use the kidd big roller for the dry spots  that what happened to me today had a perfect straight line and one line i lost the edge of the last one and i couldnt get it straight again after that  :'(

This roller was made locally and I was told it weighs in at 6-7 tonnes, it's filled up with water....officially, unofficially waste oil by the looks of what leaks out occassionally :D

I hope you had the door open on the 106 so you could appreciate that wonderful engine note they have

Looking good Gav......Wee change having the McCormick eh......

Never seen flat grass rolls like that fold up before......Interesting mate...... :)

Its a change alright and not one for the better \

They are much better like that, it belongs to our neighbour and do a lot of road miles so its nice and easy to get about

Course it has can't see no ridge Gavin can't roll straight Gavin gan't roll straight    ;D :D

If you think you can do better I'll gladly let you drive that red thing :D :D

You out late last night Gav 

It's straight you cheeky g!t, there's a slight ridge across the field making it look bendy :D

Spreading fertiliser for a neighbour who says there is 49 acres and has exactly the right amount of fert. After spreading over 50 and running out he says 'you could be right - it could be 55 acres'. Had to come home and get some of mine to finish it. 

Sounds like he could be related to my old boss, he used to get just enough fertiliser for the area shown on the satellite measured field maps.....unfortunately they didn't allow for hills, holes, scoots (short work, running land, whatever you want to call them) or overlap. We all know every field is perfectly level like the satellite says, one field was 5 acres out!!! Normally had to order more in, one year it was 11 tonnes

Rolls are end tow on the road

Been out flat rolling grass today with the McCormick MC135, got a few phone pics but will try to get some better ones tomorrow

They've just put 300 acres of myscanthus grass in around here, I don't know much about it. Does it grow very high??

The stuff near me was getting on for 3m+ tall when it finished growing last season Jason

Top marks that man 

Seen one working about a mile from me two years ago, local estate grows it

I'd guess that that is a Miscathus (elephant grass) planting machine, am I anywhere near
