I'm good at doing that to people as well, i'll take the header trailer into a field one way then slip the combine in by a different road :D

Nope but could be Dorset Mist, in the absense of Marky someone had to say it : :D

Now you can't honestly say that these tractors don't look and sound the part. Might be rather dated but bugger can't they pull! http://www.startintractors.co.uk/machinery/database/2521.pdf

He hasn't shown the next pic where it halts abruptly with cogs flying from the gearbox :D

Our 8560 has them fitted as well, she's on a P plate

If i use expletives near this guy he just sulks and doesn't speak or gets upset as he doesn't like swearing. Ignored the boss the other week when he called him a womans genitalia on his voicemail, i mean all he'd done was set the cultivator on fire putting in a fire break by getting to close to the flames :D :D

:o Hells bells!!! You let him keep the job after that happened? He would have been sacked on the spot if he'd worked for us

Glad to be of assistance. Looking really good so far Jason. Would definately be interested in one if you were to make any more

Now i have to admit to texting while driving the combine but i've always got one eye on whats going on, and can usually text without looking at the keys believe it or not

You haven't offered me any but my offer of ploughing training is still open : :D

As far as i know it is an actual John Deere built drill, not a rebadged effort. Certainly drier with you than it is here, the only thing you could have drilled hhere today would have been rice \ Nice pictures though

however the deal is officially off if you issue another numpty with my name on it :D

Yeah, we're doing 7 day weeks at the moment (weather permitting) so as long as its dry we should be going somewhere in our 30 mile operating area. PM for more info or nearer the time

There's still time yet Ben and you still have the offer of a combine ride in the next 2 weeks if you so wish

I set up a Bebo account so i could annoy you on there as well as on here :D

Yes there is but they are also charging ?12 postage on top of that

No i don't, but weekends are all overtime anyway so if i don't work on a saturday or sunday they don't count as losing a day. If its wet during the week i'm still at work doing other jobs

Haven't lost any pay actually, so haven't got a clue what you're talking about Phill \

I know, maybe there's a bug which effects trailer drivers during harvest, which ever way if i can find another job at the minute i'd take it! I have had enough of the pair of them, other muppet inparticular!

And i thought i was the only one with a muppet (the boss ) on a trailer who does silly things! They want to take a full trailer so i try to load it for them by slowing down and speeding up as required to get a good load, however 2 of them, boss + other muppet deside they ought to slowdown and speed up with me then wonder why i growl at them on the cb when there's grain pouring over the side and back of a trailer. Tell 'other muppet' to go forward and he goes backwards, swear he just does it as he's an ar$ehole

Problem is this year everytime i've suggested chopping the inner round the farm owner has said no and then that they want all the straw that they can get. Cutting the scoots with a 25' combine is no joy when i keep having to wind a swath through it every time i lift up Although thinking about the order did come from a woman :D

I'm a considerate combine driver like that, i back up when i have to stop so it spreads the straw back out along the swath, and if and when the boss allows will chop the inside headland round to make both my life easier and the baler guys easier

Strange that the the baler boys behind me get hacked off with deep tramlines as well, even asked me if i could cut narrower widths to accomodate them. The 2 word answer i gave them isn't printable here but the boss did tell them the same thing :D

You can rub it in all you like, but we'll still have a full time job at the end of this week : :D

Not going too bad, only one minor breakdown so far, not bad for a 9 year old combine with 2100hrs on it! Winter barley is all done (500acres), OSr all don (65 acres) and spring barley is 3/4s done with only 150 out of 600 acres left now. Should be on wheat within 2 days when we get going again with about 700 acres of that to do and 200 of beans spread over 30 miles. Hopefully the bosses father should be with us soon with his Lexion 460 as well so we will soon pull a hole in it. This amount of work really does push our 460 over her limit and Claas have told us they don't know of another one doing so many acres! Best bit-no more fires either-YET! I did wonder if the smashed up straw could have been prevented but i think its only going for burning and carrots so probably doesn't matter too much.
