Yup, I was err, 'firm but polite' 

I'm firm but polite when i catch the bird watchers doing that sort of thing- i just tell them that the if gamekeeper doesn't know they are there and takes a shot at something over the hedge it could get messy, they get the message  :D

Damned pram wheels look awful, at least yours is a small Renault, our 816 looks even worse. I'll post some pics as soon as we have changed them over 

Orange tractor would be a Renault Ceres 95x. Nice pics

Very nice, you just gotta love those old 6 cylinder JD's, a pleasure to drive, better than some newer tractors. You should be pleased with your purchase, hope it gives you loads of hours of reliable service

I wasn't planning on stopping if they started chasing me, come to think of it, I don't think I could of stopped :D ;D :

I think that may be nearer the truth there, i had a job stopping the Ford 8630 and lorry convo when it weighed in at 29180kg, moving it not a problem but stopping it was another matter  :D

I think they are as i have some Britains lambs that look like that from the early 1990's, pretty sure that there is a goose like it as well that came with the farm playbase 

someone told us that the fine was about ?1000 a ton for every ton over weight-oh dear! There was a 8000 series JD and 18 ton trailer carting into the mill when they were taking our wheat in this year, the lorry driver said that they threw the weighbridge ticket out as soon as he had gone,  he was nearly 18 tons empty!! 

i wasn't too far out then  :D

researched it and edited post, thought i'd beaten everyone to it! Take a look on here-

It looks like a Toptilth to me which is one of the trailed and mounted seedbed cultivators that simba used to make at one time.

Mines gavin1495 as a few of you already know on here. ebay allocated name but it'll do 

not a problem, i'm off till thursday but i'll get you some when i go back

its the chain between plough attaching arms i need pics of if possible \

I can get you one next week at work, i use a farmforce furrow press with the chain type arm connection, any pictures you want of it let me know 

blimey, don't ask for much do ya!  :D

Thats good then cos i need that slurry, complete with guzzler  :D

I meant an all up gross weight of 38 tons maybe 30 ish

i said 30ish so get your own guess penguin boy  :D

well i had a Ford 8630 gross 29 tons with the same lorry convo that the 8870 had at 42 tons, not bad going for a tractor that size i don't think, it even pulled it uphill on a field at that weight with a flat tyre

Did think about spreading some rotton sugarbeet bits what came from the beet cleaner, to say they stink is an understatement!! Think the neighbours would complain though, do like the sound of the slurry guzzler though  :D

sounds like our Cousins combination harrow (pic in drilling sugarbeet topic) was until this year, front coil had smashed up 2 years ago so was just a shaft, works better now we have a new spiral on the shaft, strange that  :D

bet you can see where you have been down a narrow lane! should think they chew the banks up like our discs do don't they :D

course i do, i have a little job in mind for it! Need to make a pitfall trap with it for the teenage lads who vandalised our garden last night  :D

You won't be getting my vat of slurry Stan :D :D

So am i close then Nath 

i've seen them before, we owned a set where i used to work, never got used while i was there, we pulled them out of the nettles to see about reblading them but the cost was too much so we dumped them back in the nettles  

I'd guess that you were around the 30 ton mark with that lot. My mate had a NH 8870 gross 42 tonnes with a lorry convo on the back full of wheat so more than possible  :D

Nice pic Mart. They look like row crop tyres to me as the rims look slightly narrow to be standard fitment. Not unusual about my way to have wider than average row crops for bedforming work, chap i used to work for had a set on a Renault Atlas for bedforming/tilling in parsnips
