Started maize silage eventually after a minor road accident when our escort tractor which was pulling a low loader with the fuel tanker and works van on turned right at traffic lights ended up with the trailer on its side losing diesel, the van at 90 degrees to where it should be, one completely obliterated pedestrian crossing barrier and pole and the back wheels 3 feet in the air, blocked the Norwich ring road for a while. I got told along with another chap to get out of there by the boss as his trailer had a bald tyre and i was towing 2 16 ton silage trailers so we didn't want any un needed attention by VOSA or the boys in blue. All sorted now though and best of all no one was injured except the bosses wallet

Day 2 of trying to get the Claas Jaguar 900 ready for maize, all is not going well, the last driver before Ben and myself didn't know what grease was so we have had a few bearings and bushes to change on the header > > >

All these tractors get used on 12 ton spreaders which are on wide tyres so a couple of them have the signs on Yes it is so far, look to start on maize either late tomorrow or wednesday now due to unforseen bearing problems on the header causing me to run to Claas Uk at 530 tonight to get bits

Last ones on grass silage, we should start maize on Tuesday so will post some up as soon as i get them

Few from today now, Farm Master 416 on clamp duties witha Suton buckrake

no you wouldn't as they don't keep one on the shelf there, and you'd have to try to deal with Ant the storeman who's scottish from as far north in england u can go with out being scottish so hard to understand, gets crabby if you call him scottish :D

Ah right, so you were near the Claas dealer then as thats where they are now. Shame you couldn't have let me know as i was at Normac having a look round

Thanks Ben, we were doing it around the Lyng area between Dereham and Norwich,got about another 3 hrs to do there today

Not many people want to ride in one of PLG's tractors as thery all stink of turkey sh!t as they spend a lot of the year spreading it :D

Think we all know what'll be appearing out of the shed next then :D

1. Lely Hibiscus again 2. Look at the arse on that

Thanks, TZ range from memory Martin Not too sure Phill, there's a mixture of 836's, 816's, the 6** on the loader and the 106 about there, oh plus one MF

1. 836 being loaded on a field notorious for jack knifed trailers 2. Jaguar 900

1. Renault 106.54 and Lely Hibiscus twin rotor rake 2. Same

They are very nice to drive, i had one where i used to work as well would happily say that it is one of the most comfortable tractors that i have ever driven, plenty of pulling grunt too

More to come later

1. Still doing the headlands, not much grass here! 2. Filling other 836

1. Claas Jaguar 900 filling small Renault 2. Follow the leader

Despite not officially starting my new job until monday i got persuaded to go in today and help with last cut grass silage as they were short staffed so thought as i was there i would take a few photo's for you lot on here 1. My Renault 836, 02 reg, 6100hrs and 16 ton Richard Western 2.As above

Thats actually cheap for such a big tractor. The JD 7920 that my old lot bought before i left was a top spec autopower model with a front linkage and that cost ?94000
