FP would never park it like that....Mrs P might

Oh deere, oh deere, think you could be asking for trouble making those sorts of comments Ben  :D :D

Spoke to a dealer today while i was in there who specialises in the older stuff, he says that as its not a series II, but an original one it would probably be worth ?2-2500 tops, not as desirable as the later ones unfortunately

The other thing to check is the fluted rollers and flap that meter the seed - they are vunerable to mice.

I've seen a lot of drills where the mice run up the pipe and chew a hole through the flap and roller so they can nest in the hopper.

hope this helps

I can vouch for that, we had rats get into our 4m Sulky box drill over winter, they've eaten every single seed roller out of the drill  :o

Heres the picture of the Ploeger from this months Profi magazine, i know you want to see it F-P  :D

2wd - would it be better sold through classic tractor for example?

Definately worth a try and better off sold privately as it is worthless to most dealers, could also try Farmers Guide if you get it 

Go on then, I've got some but you can never have too many! 

Ok, will see when he's about and whenre the drill is located over the weekend

Simba.... thats next week. 

My mate has a 4m one if you do want to know anything, i can probably get some pictures of it if the need arises 

Thanks Gavin. 

Not a problem. I know a bit more about the Simba drills than the Vaderstad ones, would have a Simba any day over the other one 

Is the draw bar fixed or does it raise and lower??

From memory i think it is sort of fixed but has some sort of top link or weight transfer system built into it, will check at the first chance if no one else can verify this

is it 2wd or 4wd? 4wd has a premium but i still would imagine somewhere between ?3000 and ?5000 for the old girl

I know a man who has one, what do you want to know?

They are cut by combine around here too, they go for feed as far as I know...... some beans are swathed when green and then harvested directly after by machines such as the ploeger using its normal header.

Yeah that is right, dried beans are heavy as well, i burnt out the unloading auger belt on our Lexion with a full tank on them. Swathed ones would be the Broad Beans, i love combining the things though, so easy and you can go like hell with them  :D

Swath them and then pick them up with a combine is it.

Neighbour's had these last year but the field was 10 miles away so didn't see them.

All I do know is that my other neighbour was delighted as he got a full day out of it bringing them to the processing plant with a DX 6.61.  ;D

You can direct cut fields beans with a combine but only when they are dead and at the ball bearing stage of seed hardness, these ones tend to go for protein feeds. The vining ones are cut green and go off for human consumption as Broad Beans

heat wave

cause it set the hay alight in our barn 200 large bales

barn a wright off hay still burning started 130am monday

been busy since now knacked and still more hay to come in and some to bale

Thats not good! Any ideas what caused it as yet? odd for hay just to go up like that about here even with this heat

2 lorries on the dual carriage way bit of the A47, 1 trying to overtake the other which was doing 50mph, unfortunately he couldn't get much more than that and caused a nice large tailback in the outside lane in the process  >

best have a look in Ben Burgess then

They had them at the Norfolk Show on their stand for under ?30 

i didnt mention the JD's, Maccorms and Case's i saw on the back of lorries plus the claas 580 and balers also on a lorry...as they werent working :D

Does that count as a numptifiable offence as they weren't working and he still listed them  :

I think i like her  :D

shut it penguin boy  :D

not as much as mine did  :'( :'(

all i'll say is i'd rather it was my eyes she was aiming for at times  \

Yuck no... Ladies car (or hairdressers car) (sorry to any hairdressing males on here)

I did make a comment about women drivers but got a slap and look of death from the girlfriend for it  : :D

Sorry Gavin.. it was me on my way to Maccy D's... heard they were running out of Mc Flurry... so I was in a Mc Hurry  :D :D

How clever is that post... not only did I incorporate two post subjects in one but I got a funny... topical rhyme in at the end as well 

Very clever indeed, does that mean that you now drive a chavved up white MR2 then that nearly got the Defender bullbar treatment  :D

Someone overtaking me on the A47  near Norwich while i was doing 65mph, yes my Defender 90 will do that  , then cutting straight across in front of me to get to the exit they wanted  > >

the number is but the phone is flat after a 3.25 ton mini digger tracked over it

when people say their phone has a flat battery this isn't usually what they mean  : :D :D

Did do it to my old bosses phone with a Matbro TS280, fell out of his pocket from the man platform while chainsawing low branches off  :D

Funny you should say that, take a look here
