Gav836

I havnt been to bright really most of the weekend which is not what you want when with the gf :'( :'(

Im not love sick gav  :

You never have been so whats changed there :D

Getting a bit of last years beet ground disced up with the Ford 8770 and Solo ready for spring OSR then delivered a 40ft trailer of straw to a local farm, 55 bales

You got it as well have you     The bloke on the farm next door has been ill all weekend \ \

What he hasn't said is it's lovesickness. Our resident penguin is in love :D

I think in general things are looking well - but we haven't had any rain for nearly a month now so we'll need some soon. 

Yep, Keith Rennie used to get them in red and put his stickers on - but I think they're all blue and  Bogballes now 

The one I used to used was a blue and yellow one but it still had KRM decals on, was brand new when we got it in 2004 and was one of the first in that colour scheme to be sold by the dealer, very accurate at all speeds, I used to go at 14kph with it. EX trend model

was planning for a nice quiet day, but saw my mum and aunt strugglying at pruning a tree. So i went and took the chainsaw to it.

Got a bit carried away as i normally do with the chainsaw and lets say there is about a 5 inch stump left out of a 20ft tree ha ha!

no problem looking after it now.

You sound like a man much like myself when it comes to pruning :D

It's the air intake I think mate...... :)

I'd guess UH Renault 836, heater fan air intake on them

I should keep quiet until its done Will, you never know who may pinch your idea  

gav you have just anserwered in swarhelia i still have not got a clue mate :D

Sorry Graham They are granular pesticides used to control soil borne creatures/organisms that would damage the potatoes in this case, I used to use them on sugar beet, evil stuff \

that is some farming enterprise there by the looks of it ggg is he applying anything and then power harrowing it in \

I'd say going by the looks of the hoppers they are applying something like Vydate or other Temik substitutes \

another couple of nice pictures ggg

Don't tell her that 

Whats it worth ;D ;D

Yeah, maybe they will make an apperance in the near future

yes cheap indeed, but amazing how its the parts most convo guys use aint it, how convieniant, wonder if they have cottoned on to the real market, and if britains will do the same, ?

Unfortunately they refused to sell me any of the little depth wheels off the Lemken Gigant cultivator that I wanted

Mum woke me up at 11:15 by throwing UH bales at my head  >

lazy g!t :D :D

It's probably happened to most of you in the past but when you bid for something on ebay and loose by one bid   then you get a second chance reply  Now it may be all coshia but it sometimes seems a little strange that they come back straight away with the offer. do they try to bid the price up themselves or a mate only to find that it doesn't pay off and have to resort back to second chance offer \ \ \

I've often wondered that as well. Had one a few months back saying he had another couple of them to sell, if they come back more or less as soon as its ended it seems strange to me though as you say \

amazing how quickly people can change their minds :D

Having some young d'head telling me to go home last night before he kicked my head in  :o

Did you bring out the Simon M insurance policy at that point :D :D

Looks like they've now added wheels and axles as well since last month, The Trelleborgs work out at ?1.02 a pair, now thats cheap!!

We went to the out-law's for lunch yesterday :

So i took the wheels and finished them off on father-in-law's lathe ;)

Will send them away next week ;)

I'll get them cast in yellow for JD 6920's and red for Fendt 716's will try them on other models when i've got a set back :

What other models would be a popular choce for row-crop wheels ???

The Siku Claas Ares ATZ would be a good choice as well

I used to do all the top dressing at my last job with my Renault 836 at 195hp and 10 tonnes but due to the weight of a full spreader it needed something big. Most of the time it was the only tractor available as well. There's some pictures on here somewhere i believe

Thanks lads for the kind words... I will be washing my Fanny this afternoon  - You will all be pleased to hear 

I reckon I may hook a couple of solo's together next time... anyone got a pair I can borrow 

I have 2 Britains ones here in the boxes still, think Fanny should be able to manage them..........just :D :D

Fanny needs a sub soiler hung onto her, get that engine working hard to bed it in, you'd be surprised the difference hard work can make to an engine when its new

What's the chances of it happening now you've said it mate......

Very slim this week as there's only 3 hours of it left  :D

Seems like the two of us are having disasters this week mate with me and my digger at the start of the week too eh...... \ ;)

I've yet to get wet though :D

The broken glass was nothing to do with me though, boss had it earlier in week and the cb aerial bent round on a low branch and hit the back window shatterring it, talk about freak accidents.

Nasty mate......What were you carrying at the time?

Nothing luckily, was on my way to get a load of straw, midi hesstons. Catches hadn't gone back in hook properly due to broken glass getting under the release lever in the cab \

A 40 ft articulated trailer coming off the pick up hitch of the TM175 on the road > >

Looks like you've had a good day with Fanny then

One tip, don't use grease on a top link becuse if you don't adjust it a lot, and sometimes if you do the grease hardens and siezes it up again. Myself and my old colleagues always used oil on ours and found it a lot better
