Been working on this today on and off, not quite finished yet but getting there. Thought i'd try fitting one of my seeders to the harrow, quite pleased with it so far, let me know what you think

ah , ni used to keep an old buckraketine in the front weights for that & it was used for many other things ,like when someting needed some gentle persuadeing  :D

did they get the point : :

at least i wasn't the only one then  my bosses thought i was mad sticking insulation tape on all the tractor windscreens ! blue for 12m m ,red for 24m

No, 3 out of the 4 of us where i used to work had it on the windows, we also had some on the middle of the bonnet for centre line marking on the Fiat F140 when drilling, just saves time

Sounds about right

With difficulty You have to pace them out and mark them by hand I guess....

Or you can do it using our method for spraying beans for the first time. We tied chains onto the end of the booms so they drag along the ground, if you get it right when you turn on the end they stay in the same place so you know your distance is right then you just pick up a line in the work. We also used sticky tape on the windows, one bit as a mark for 12m and one for 24m, you just line this up with you previous set of wheel marks, works every time

Won't the seed rot?? 

There's a saying about here about drilling wheat - 'Into slop, sure of a crop'. Wheat isn't as fussy as barley and will, most of the time, germinate in very wet ground.We actually had a 4 ton an acre crop off a field we drilled when it was wet and snotty under foot

I would hazard a guess, more likely that than anything else.

It too could be a Rabe, they aren't very common but a solid mouldboard option is available as there are one or two here like it. The leg profile does look like Rabe design but i could be wrong \

Steven Spencer's?

Got it in one Chris, thought that you would recognise it when you saw it

Had a bit of a search and it seems TBG stands for Tompsett Burgess Growers, which has confused me rather as this would be the same sort of company as Wrentham Veg? ???

I was going to say that, i would guess that like a lot of smaller companies they rely on the bigger ones to provide the machines to do the job required as i know TBG are a large concern with one of my mates having done contract work for them in the past. Have you seen their trailed parsnip harvester yet :o

well the first bit of this annoyed me but- a puncture in my trailer tyre out on site, small stone in it so i prised it out and left a screwdriver in the hole, tyre fitter comes out and looks round the trailer for a puncture then asks me which tyre, i just said 'erm how about the one with the screwdriver sticking out of it?'  : :D :D

Yes they do Martin but its just the size of the things, you've got to have driven one to know just how awkward they can be

Some grip with the wheel weights on!!!

Yeah, what you can't see on the pictures though is the big one on the inside of the rear wheel centres as well.

Look at that TW......Lovely pics mate......

Would love a shot in a TW some day......

Believe me Martin, they may look and sound good but they are as clumsy and cumbersome as hell to drive \

We have also had a farmer carting with us with this old bus, just can't beat these old girls for sheer grunt and sound

Took some more pictures today whilst mucking out breeding sheds which are straw houses, first up my Wiedemann which some fool let me loose on and my colleague tipping a load in my trailer

:D - Ahhh I see... wishful thinking... good luck then mate... had I better dust off some of my old chatup lines again for you  :D

I think he wants to attract the girl not make her die of laughter : :D

Ford TW-25 and Ken Wooton trailer

Selection of Deutz Fahr tractors on water/wash down tankers

Hope to get some pictures tomorrow as they are all on the site we are mucking out at present

I know Sean, looking through his listings its just astonishing to think that someone really thinks that these can be worth so much

:o :o :o

what is he on?!

Sorry don't mean to sound stupid but whats knervy ?

Its Kverneland

It wasnt vital i just wanted to find out if he was still going to offer what he was during the summer so i can see what college says i can do it in next few days just i was more likly to get hold of him today :D

besides which i haven't insulted you lately so felt like it anyway :D

maybe i was referring to you forgetting to ring your boss

Well sorry to disagree with all of you but my MF 200 trailer did come to me with silage sides on as well when it was given to me as a present many years ago so they must have existed somewhere at sometime

Not alot and because i got up a bit late i forgot to phone my boss about my gap year

You pillock! :D

Not so much seen but heard, Phill telling me that him and ice skating don't go together well, strange for a penguin : :D :D

The DSA now on its 3rd week to rebook my tractor test that i'll fail again :D >

How did you manage to fail it anyway
