Gav836

Very nice Gav, alas I won't have to use the Britains ICI tanks as a crap excuse of one :D

Will you be painting them up Gav or selling them as they are ???

Thanks Nath, They will be available as they are or painted up, with or without pipes and distributor outlet bar

great job, casting any to sell (im interested if you are) been on at DT to make one for adges to mount on his 5 leg subsoiler but he didnt seem to know what i was describing, hope this motivates him (please have ago dave ;D)

a stocks slug pellet spreader would be a great idea also to mount on a sprayer or on a quad bike

Thanks. Yes i am casting some to sell, i have a few here now ready to go, PM me for more details 

,should have been trying to slow it down shouldn't you gav? show them how much they reallly need you

Thats their problem, they'll find out soon enough how much i did do and how idle the other chap is over my end. Not my problem now, i'm all fixed up with a new job, details soon..... 

Cant view the pic at the mo but this sounds like what I was referring to with the ROS harrow in mind. Could be used to infill pasture/leys aswell.

Yes, it can be used for that as well, we have two at work one on a G & B tilth train and another on a grass harrow for seeding pastures with

I direct you to rule 2

2. The pictures can show any part of harvest (Including model fires Gav )

so yes, if you want to

OI! Its not my fault if i try to speed up the barley harvest by setting fire to the crop :D

How did you go on with the casting, did you manage first time?

Everything went fine on the first attempt, the mould set perfectly and i have had no problems with the resin either. Thanks for your advice on the subject, hardest bit was making the original out of styrene sheet given the small size and my big hands  :D

Thanks guys. Basically the hopper has an electric fan in it which blast the seeds down pipes to some outlets in front of the press, just broadcasts the seed on the surface. I have yet to get as far as the pipes and outlets, next on the list though

Had a go at resin casting these seeder hoppers to go onto Simba Solo's and subsoilers etc, i'm quite plesed with the results, not finished yet but heres a little preview of it to go on with

Went to work at 10 am, spent the next 12 hrs on the combine seat trying to finish our spring barley off so we can get onto the wheat, done 85 acres today, just 15 left now. Got home at 10.30pm absolutely knackered \

Lookin really gud gav How about a press to tow behined??

Thanks, and is a definate possibility, looking at all options with these at the minute

This was yesterday, 2 Fendt 716's on duals all round pulling down a field with 6m Vaderstad Carriers (i think) and then on return journey Fendt 818 on duals all round drilling same field with 12m Lemken drill :o

yeah best we start a  2006 harvest one i think....us mods will go discuss some rules

Well the way cereal harvest is going up here now we will still be combining on christmas day at this rate so there's plenty of time  : :D

My 714 and loader is a cross between the two and so is my dual wheeled variation, they both have the later type rod axles and mirrors but part of the front linkage is cast into the tractor chassis \

Nice pictures and tractor there. Came from up this way in the Norwich area origionally as number plates registered here in that area all ended 'CL' until the new plates came out

Your 836 going etc  and keep us informed when it is

from what i was told when i was given my notice everything that the new owner doesn't want will be sold \

Of course you could just venture south and buy our F140 out of the clearence auction i think we are going to have soon when the boss packs up :D

Cheers Gav, might have to fit one of those to the Kverneland CTS !!

Funny you should say that, i'm going to be fitting them to the Simba Solo's as well as an option

I know the pictures a bit on the small side Sean but if you enlarge it slightly you should be able to see some tines/bars going up the back of it, taken off a Browns dealers website 

Just had a thought Sean, did they not have two tines up the back of the carrier which used to slide beneath the stack of bales when you went to pick them up, i know the ones for Hesston bales do and i get a feeling the ones like your model is based on may have done as well  

Looks very good Sean, very accurate to the real thing from what i can remember about them, been a couple of years since i saw one in use here for conventional bales

Been p!ssing down here for the last hour or so, should do just about every other day this week looking at the forecast today

Cheers Gavin......Sounds good to me, easy enough to use for loader work too I suppose...... ;)

I used to use the 110-90 on a hedge cutter with no problems, you soon build up the muscles in your left leg with the clutch :D

Brilliant, cheers Gavin......  ;)

Do you know if either of the models had a shuttle for changing direction or if it was purely done by gears mate?

The 80-90 would have the same gearbox as our 110-90 being 5 gears on one stick and ranges and reverse on the other, no form of shuttle on them but easy enough and no electronics to go wrong, can't help with the 88-94, if no one else can i can speak to our mechanic at work who spent years working on the tractors, if you decide to go that way i can give you his phone number for advice on what to look for

The 80-90 is around 80hp Martin, the 90 series were alll numbered in that way, the first number denoting hp, the second the model range, would guess that the same applies to the 88-94 as well

Those tanks look small, how many acres could you cover before a re-fill??

OSR goes on at a very low seed rate, under 5kg a hectare from memory, so the hopper doesn't need to be very big to hold enough seed to cover large areas of ground
