Gav836

Should have listened to his own warning really I guess :D

Due to this topic having more Numpties than the Kings men could handle, any further replies may warrent more awards  :D :D (technically it was Humpty who fell but his cousin was also there :)

Good job the spelling numpties are gone :D :D

I think it was something along those lines John but I only ever drove a Gen III 7810T for a few hours on a trailer, never paid much attention to the hydraulic set up \

Not too sure Martin but I believe the Gen III models had some form of electronic linkage control fitted as well as an option, i've only driven Gen II's but just seem to hve some idea they might have \

Have you seen how much the parts are for jap crap   :D :D

thanks gav ,how many landys have you had  \ as i remeber a pic of a blue on and i think you you put a pic of a silver one  \ or am i wrong

I've had 5 now, all of which have given me some trouble \ The blue one is my current one, the silver one that you are thinking of would be Marky's I think

Looks good Rich. I actually used to own a D90 pick up with alloys, good likeness to it

Long story, tell you elsewhere

Always pays to know that sort of thing........you can drive a Quadtrck on the road though as it isn't classed as a track layer \

Pardon me  :o :D

Have to be 21 to get your tracklayer license :'( :'( so no ploughing for me this year just cultivator and looks like im stuck on the renault all year :'( :'( :D i wonder if i could manage to get the 818 for a bit hmmmm theres a challenge while your stuck on JD's haha :D

Probably going to be on a TM175 with a Welgar D6000 Baling so nananananana :D :D

I only knew about that as the chap I spoke to here about a job for you last yeah had to do a cat H when he got his old challenger

Looks good covered in much like that Sven

I hope all those pink things and the perfume or whatever it is in that bottle aren't yours though :D

I'll keep that in mind luke will try and get pics keep you all updated especially should have a ex demo challenger arriving next week that we just bought * and with spring drilling coming up will try and get some pictures etc i'll probs be on cultivator if college will let me free :D

What sort of mad fool would let you loose on a Challenger :D

Best you get your category H driving test done as you nor anyone else can drive it on the road until you have that, think you may have to be 21 as well to drive a tracklayer on the road too so at least you can't terrorise motorists with it :D

i thought superGav was making one \ \

Thats very true Ben, I have a pot full of seed hoppers and press wheels cast ready to start making one when I get some of my other bits and pieces finished

Of course he didn't. Who would buy that junk? : :D

Chris did tell me they had to confiscate his wallet upon entering the site just in case he got tempted :D :D

So you finally see that what I've been saying all the time I've known you is right then, those old 735's and 836's really will pull and I haven't yet found an ordinary tractor that is as comfortable to drive. If its like my 836 I had it would do 43kph on the road as well

Is turning orange a symptom of Avian flu : :

Get the MX 110 and the open the screw on the fuel pump, she'll push out 130hp no probs, we had a MX150 opened up to 170hp and it never gave any trouble in the 5000hrs we owned it, would do two days ploughing on a tank of diesel and sounded nice with it

could be...... :D

he already has......... :D :D

Looking good

The other bit will be in the post tomorrow

oooooh not fallen out with anyone other than the missus for a long while now :D :D :D

why not fit a small ram like the ones on the Siku ploughs and presses, that way it should hold it in the right position. Thats the way I have takled it on my Tim beet harvester except I used a slightly bigger ram off a Simba solo

good luck with the new job gav and let them havit mate

be careful about the selfemployed bit as just got a letter from my accountant saying that subbies will have to pay 30% instead of 18% tax

so if any one wants a class 1 360 opperator (paye) please let me know b4 april 7/07

Cheers, I've done the self employed farm worker bit before so i'm not going in blind, will check with the tax office in town though

Anglian water were looking for 360 operators not too long ago

True but as it'll be on self employed terms and won't be until March it shouldn't make a lot of difference, should know a bit more after tomorrow

Try and find a telehandler around that price though that doesnt need some work to the brakes and other parts (normaly hydraulics) eg i would always reccomend a handler from a arable farm as is more likely to have been maintained and checked over but also likely to suffer from bad brakes from constant stop start and precision work (filling drills),  Yet a dairy farm one is lkely to have bad engine and hydraulics due to misuse and lack of maintenance ;)

I'd have said that its often the other way round at times, going by our old JCB's they had multiple users so only recieved maintainece when we had a few minutes to spare, smaller units maybe look after them better whereas a livestock farm cannot afford to have such a vital machine go wrong so they are well maintained, might be a bit moth eaten in places. If they break down and there is no other machine available to load the feeder wagon etc then its a big problem so they can be better maintained, although in saying that I have seen one or two used by just a cowman and I don't know what it is with those blokes but they don't half know how to abuse a machine :D

Cheers folks......Will get the rest up later this evening after CSI......

No idea on the hours on the Fendt Phill......Tyres don't look nearly as bad as some of the others in the yard so couldn't have been used for as much road work as some of the other second hand machines......

The 3085 was a nice tractor Marky......Didn't ask for a price as I was a bit put off by the fact it didn't have Dynashift and was obly on an H Plate......Probably only on a 30K Gearbox......Might just have to wait for my dream 8360 now......

The place I've just left had a 3085 the same age as that with no Dynashift, don't let that put fact put you off Martin. I only drove it once all be it on a 50 mile round trip and can honestly say it pulled like a train and boy could it shift on the road. I had to ease off or I'd have been into the W reg Renault that I was following, I know the Renault done 40kph so the MF must have been doing 42/3kph. It had a two speed splitter on it much like dual power on a Ford, if I were in your position Martin I'd seiously consider a 3085 even if it is red, take a drive of it and see what you think 

As Will says Farm Models is a good place to get them, you can use plastruct tube and split pins as well. Depending upon what you want to use them for telescopic car aerials are another good source for rams
