only old in experaince mate not real age, same as me in my job  :D one of the youngest ther ,but loads of courses ect under me bely,never turned down one course,even if it wasn't for the job i was doi ng

I'll let you off then  :D I'm the youngest one and i'll never turn down a course if its offered to me, will even pay for them myself if it means i stand a better chance if i change my job

yeap start at the bottom and work your way up mate,if your lucky in 20 years time you will be doing a job like gavin mate  :D

I'm not that old Sean! We all start at the bottom, but when you get to my age you could be setting fields on fire with the combine as well  :D :D

The fact it's gonna be hot again this week in the region of 35+, i'm gonna melt inside the barn, i'm gonna try and scrounge some tractor work

I did warn you it would be a hot job, you're at the bottom of the ladder but i think you'll find that your boss will be very fair about it. He'll probably let you have some breaks with the heat or you'll be ill with heat stroke and no employer wants a man off during harvest

He's got his head in the clouds again i do believe  :o

What sort of output will a front PTO give out, would it be similar to a rear PTO or less??

Would be similar to the rear PTO HP wise and often still has the option of either 540rpm or 1000rpm drive speeds

5 mins

Thats abit of an abitious guess, that long : :D

Someone will have a happy boss...... \ \

Someone needs a kick up the ar$e, it isn't rocket science to know that you have to stack the bales squarely to stop this happenning is it \

Fine i wont go on msn again : ;)

Don't believe you as i know theres someone else on there you like chatting to even more them Ol and myself  :D :D

Sunday day off for me.

6am- wake the rest of the house up with ACDC back in black because I could'nt sleep so why should the others.(my name is dirt now)

7.30am 12pm- on the net reading e-mails,buying fergies and getting hasseled by MF fan.

12pm till 3pm -out side working in my veg garden and trying to find out why the F!@K my ute is still useing water and changeing a few tyre's around,also found a new oil leak so realy happy about that.

3pm-3.30pm-paying bills/on line banking and having one last look at ftf for the day before going off to work on models I'm making.Then I'll start cooking my dinner.Wasgoing to go out but don't feel like it now and going out on monday night any way so best save my money.

Any one asleep?.

You weren't alone there, he's good at that :

yeah good point they did slip with the after care ,but not as bad as they used to be

one thing i have noticed so far is there seems to be a draw towards the older jd models on here so far, even with some of the younger members? wonder why that is

I just love the engine note of the old 6 cylinder engine fitted in the 30/33/3650 models, such user friendly tractors as well. Spent many a happy hour hedgecutting with a 2850 and enjoyed every minute of it despite the lack of air con. Don't rate the newer models, i had a 6900 blow the head gasket and head at 3 years old and 2500hrs

Must be very high yielding as there is some swath of straw  :o

If our barley is anything to go by it seems to be a good year for straw, even in a 2t/acre crop our 25' Lexion 460 was leaving a swath up to your waist or approx 3' high

an old penguin joke springs to mind there 

Today i was annoyed at some tw@t in a BMW who didn't slow down when my escort vehicle tried to flag him down and nearly went under the front of the combine, if i hadn't put it in the hedge he would not be alive now to do anything with the speed he was going >

It would either be through a bar on the front if it were liquid fertiliser or through nozzles on the planter if it were to be used for applying a pre-emergence herbicide to the planted potatoes, have seen both methods used on various drills/planters 

just seems to be one farmer who has cut his...thats why i was surprised!. Other fields look slighly green still \....but he does use JD's

says it all really, has to be cut when the straw still matches the colour of the machines 

most of the fields near me have been harvested and i missed it :'( :'(, thought i had a few days to wait as Barley had only just been cut but no, there in to the wheat already!!

Hells bells the wheat must be fitter there than it is about this way, its still a good 2 weeks away round here

There is a big Steam and tractor even on near Thetford today... weeting I think it's called

Thats the one, Weeting steam rally and country fair, been on since Friday morning, entry is ?7 for adults don't know about OAP concessions Marky sorry : :D

Found another couple for you, would appear to be 1974/5 models that were this shape, not that i can remember back then as i wasn't even born 

Found this one on Tractor Pool, only picture of it from the outside, not too brilliant so don't know if its of any help Sean

I *think* that this one has been owned since new as I've seen it since I was about 8

Well in which case he's lucky then because if that was our old one i'd have to take pity on him as she was just about wore up. Good combines though, forerunner of the lexion, could nearly keep up with my 460 but not quite

Cor nice... is it an ifor williams beavertail... some pillock has parked a big nasty combine in the way  :D :D

kidding... nice combine - how quick will it wear out those tracks - are they just rubber 

It is a very nice combine, i want one! As far as i know the tracks are just rubber, thats what it looked like on the 580 Terra Trac we had on demo anyway

Thanks, I'm afraid I don't know anything about this one \

Fair dues, didn't know if that was our old one in its new home that was all

nice pictures, we used to have one of them in our fleet up until last year when a 98, 108 and 204 were all replaced by one Lexion 460. The 204 is a good combine, know much about the history of that one?

What topper you got?

3m heavy duty Spearhead, full shaft/gearbox driven

Doing a shear-bolt on the very last couple of metres of thistles whilst topping this evening. Annoying thing was that I had managed the last two days without breaking one. >

Good thing is that I've now finished that farm, but onto the next in the morning!

Should get a topper with a slip clutch on it then, saves all that hassle. Definately don't miss shearbolts with how many times we hit rabbit holes or big mole hills when we top our set-aside

yeah i have one of those

*FB opens up another IE window and search google images for RTITB

From memorey RTITB = Road Transport Industry Training Board i think
