That's a handy bit of kit rich. You are doing a tidy job of the model too. 

Thanks mb86  ye we run 3 of them the one pictured is the bigger one. Its supprising how motorists slow down to go under it and ramps they seem to speed up for haha.

The real machine she hinges from the middle of the triangle and folds back to large post on the right where it locks onto bit of angle iron with a linchpin and bolt. It looks smaller in the 2nd picture as its on a 434 not 416 haha

Been years since ive posted anything on ftf but hello to everyone and all new members. 

I had a quiet day yesterday so set about trying to built a slurry pipe gantry like what we have in work, got a fair bit more done than i thought i would but the hinge in the middle is giving me problems and keeps breaking off, but still got a few things to do to it when i can

i like that good work

ive just bought the sustain the flame tonight looks good and interested to see how he gets on the the new krone but i want to get the contractor profile about rabco contractors in New Zealand i cant stop watching NZ silage vids haha i cant wait to go out there in octorber

I just realised the siku 69 has the wrong diesel tank but its the right one for your conversion:)

she would look at home on a kv or volac britains wrapper

you realy dont like students do you gav haha hmmm some work gone into that shed fair play

nice to see a farms life from a different country with different crops to we do around here :~) keep up the good work

i remember about 3/4 yrs ago there was a cheap toy in lidls and was a jcb 436 but no steering just boom up and down and tip but all the panels and cab were spot on from what i saw and im kicking myself every time i think about it as when i went back a day or too later they had all gone and iv never seen one again , as id like to make one for myself and one for the boss exactly like his with a strimech 16ft fold out on but ahwel

very nice as said you might need a 434 thought haha works 434 has a 16ft strimech on her

ok tris when i have some time off shall have to dig them all out haha

well i remember the boss telling me that we had a load of our tractors carting which id say is a 40 mile round trip and they hired in a rival contractor with a few 185 fastracs and leaving the field they flew away but the last like 8-9 mile is climbing up back roads to the farm and the tractors behind were catching up and one or 2 even over took with jd7810's so there wasnt realy any advantage there except the smoother ride :/ and we did have a brand new one on demo last yr and used it on a tank 3190 :/ i think it was and she was quite a tank to get into the gateways around here where youd quite happliy get most tractors around the size in :/

but i was told after that fastrac left us she went to another contractor who decided to put butterflys on , while mowing she kicked up a stone and put it through thee back and front windscreen :/ he soon decided he wouldnt put one on a mower again, he said it wass due to the cab being further foward than the 7530 and if it had happend with her it would have clipped the bonnet instead he thought :/

but i dunno swings and round abouuts really isnt it

cant you try like a enignering shop to machine up some pins ? as thats what we do at home for the 360s that we hire out , we got different size bar and laith them down and weld a plate on the end with a hole for the pin to lock over ,looks the same as any other pin then

ye this is the model siage fleet aha i could list my boss's fleet if you want of the real ones aha 23/24 tractors and 3 harvesters aha

R.B Contracting may sound overkill but we cover serious acreage and are the largest contractor in south wales haha

I suppose it's worth it then to turn your head occasionally to look at your work/implement, even if it means taking your eyes off your aim point. Looking ahead: And behind:

i did glance back but couldnt tell from the cab like, only realised at the end as the slider wasnt all the way down teach me to use the slider not the lazy buttons aha

all is happening on your side of the world then    hows silage going out there ? 

well mine is a pretty boring one compared to this lot... but I was grass cutting this year with my 5480 and flail mower.... doing a 10-11 acre field I do regularly... I'd cut the first strip along the edges, dodging the tree branches and making the usual wavy line of cut in doing so... on my second run I was determined to get a straight line to work from for the rest of the field.. I picked my point in the hedge at the other end of the field and went for it... bugger me this is going to be good I was saying to myself.. hardly an input needed on the steering wheel... dead eyed-**** they will be calling me I thought... just before the end I went to click the lift button.. only to find it still in up  .. I looked behind me only to find I'd not actually lowered the mower to cut 

done the same as you marky aha , was power harrowing one day with a tm 140 and 5mtr power harrow and there was a guy filming me so i thought il make it look good and ill have a dead straight line so turned of the healand and set her in ,only to realise when at the next healand i hadnt moved the slider all the way down and the tips of the tines were only just touching all looked ok from the cab aswell untill the end when i had realised    luckily ive never seen the video on youtube from the guy    i did have some stick of the other boys in field afterwards as they had seen it but deceided not to give me a hint on the CB aha 

dont mean to sound harsh but why are you so close to the car infront that you cant stop ? fair enough like pulling away at lights i suppose  but if your travelling and especially with a tractor your a fool in your own right for being to close ! ive done my fair share of road work and sense tells you not to be close especially if you have a load , but im sorry i dont have any sympathy for these kinds of incidents unless it is a total aciddent but id say 95% are due to lack of common sence and im sorry if i have upset any one with my veiw 

she would take that rig quite easily    we run a tm175 on claas rear butterflys with a john deere front 10ft and she goes fairly well 

if that puma is anything like the one we had at work she'll pull like a train    we got a 210 and she walks all over a 7530 on the same set of butterfly mowers 

ill have a look robbo only seen it twice ahah 

those are our trailers   im driving the tm150 aha   i can find out for you if you want  ?
