rich.new holland

thats the fella rich , he was telling me the NH wasn't a patch on the JCB wouldn't last 5 mins doing what the JCB does , the visibility was another issue he had with it . trouble is the JCB has done nearly 6000 hours & he's having trouble with the torque converter , or whatever powers the transmission nowadays, so it wasn't being used , he was also expecting a brand new one later in the week  so it's effectively retired !

ye he hates the nh    ye hes gone through a few sets of tyres too and shes only a 56 -07 plate  \  and sometimes she doesnt ingage the top gears ither  \  shes had her fair share of faults but he stil loves his jcb    did you see the engine cover on the nh ?   

well well marcus that nh and ih rig is my next door neibherrs    i take it you spoke to mike haha , thats hell of yard they got isnt it he uses the hitch to go fetch the maize up the top    the jcb telehandler couldnt have been working as her prefers it to the nh 

Hang on, so you have a girlfriend but there is another girl you like?

Sometimes, a problem you see in somebody else can be bred from a problem you have yourself. Not always but be sure before you go taking it out on other people.

naaa i dnt have a girl friend    the one that is sayin im lying is tryin to get with me all the time but i dont like her that way    and like this other girl but now im too late  \  ah well atleast i knw that he'll look after her   

so back to the drawing board   

Can be complicated at times can't they  \

yep definate  \  one min shes shouting at me saying everything i say to her is a lie (and i havnt lied to her at all ) and that she doesnt want to talk to me again ,then next min shes texting me saying sorry can we go back to hw we were   

i dunno im lost    but hey things are turning and the girl i like is talking to me a lot lately    tidy   

rant over 

women    one that just doesnt take the hint ! harsh i know :/

right then lets see whos been listening in lectures haha ho many cows in the uk have mastitus ,and in a 4 pint carton of milk how much of that has come from a cow that is lame ?? 

thats the tyres the local contractor needs on his 7850 !! haha on the farm next door he got stuck loads of times and one time the only way they could get it out was dragg it sideways ndpull te tyres of the rims haha then put them back on nd away haha    looks a machine i must say , when is it on sale then ??

when i saw me on tv haha    me and my two frinds were on s4c (welsh channel ) when it was reporting at the winter fair    im famous hahaha 

we've put headcutters on on jcb js150 and our case 688 duck but we havnt got a disc one like that   

nah its easier to reverse a silage trailer than one of those little things    those lttle things turn too fast wer as a silage trailer it quite slow manuvering   

ye true 

mobile speed camara  >  just have to wait nw  :'(

from the massey camp it definatley the 3095 ,we had one autotronic dynashift and it had a turbo and she was hell of a machine

from the ford/nh camp its definatly the 7840    wat a machine   

14ft fold out buck rake , a yard brush , a umbilical pipe road boom , a large bucket and a adapter plate to take merlo pallet forks    these attachments fit onto the jcb 414 farm master, the joal jcb 531-70 and a bobcat 753    well except the 14ft rake which stays on the 414 

i bet theres a fair weight in that  \  and some real soil compaction 

how much weight can it carry   

 

it's not too bad rich , i use my sat nav more for timing really, some tickets ask for ETA or state ring before delivery so it's a handy tool for those reasons , although , my navagators atlas does most of the work & is well thumbed !

most farms i get to with no problem , if i can get to the area , i phone the farmer for directions in , unlike a few drivers who follow the sat nav every step of the way & end up where they shouldn't ought to be  \  i,m getting to know my vague way about to our farms pretty well so i think i'm doing alright . but it can be awkward when you ask for directions  to be asked where are you now driver ,to look at the sign of a place thats spelt with ten letters using no vowles 

had an easy day on saturday , 3 drops at two farms ,i could almost reverse out of one farmers yard & straight into the others ! over at Llanpumpsaint ,

when you going to get me up at your place for a delivery then ?

getting quite a bit of work over the bridge , of which another feed delivery firm driver told one of our drivers , hello mate hows it going ? good is it ? well good for you cos MVF are stirring the welsh mills right up , matter of fact you lot are bloody hated over yur you are    to then follow up with , hey look drive if they ever open a mill here put in a word for me as our company's crap to work for  :D

well considering we're suposedly hated , we get an awfull lot of other firms waving at us    but then tanker drivers wave at each other all the time  as do bulk drivers,  drivers are a strange bunch at times  \ :D

ahhhh llanpumpsaint just outside carmarthen    my best mate in coll has a farm there    aye its a tight old place  , ahh dunno will have to have a chat with my uncle about the delivery    we normally get cake and other feed in ton bags from the farmers cop 

thanks bill

 

havent's a clue mate , i read the ticket , punch it into the sat nav & follow best i can , i'm not a regular around those parts  \

ooooo your taking a chance following the sat navv :D  theres been a lot of units getting stuck round this way lately due to tom toms and the like 

Ford introduced the 40 series at smithfield show december 1991 and I guess the dealers had them by spring 92 which would have made the early machines "J" plates as in that year we still only had one registration date of August 1st. When the "K" plate would have taken over. K reg 10 series tractors are probably ex stock tractors that dealers already had on order when new 40s were announced. Personally I think I would rather have had a late K plate 7810(generation 3) machine than an all new yet to be proved 7840

I can still remember a conversation I had with Ian Loversidge of G & J PECKS (Ford NH dealers) who back then was workshop foreman (now company director!!) and he said the early 40 series electroshift SLE models were a total "nightmare" and no where near as good or reliable as MF dynashift gearbox.

So if I were to buy one of these imbar models it would be the bog standard 7840SL as that way I wont get a gearbox failure when its working on the farm diorama

but round here it was oppersite , the bog standard no electrics sl - dual power gear boxes gave trouble because i know of a few 7840 that had sl's in them and they had soo much trouble the dealer changed them to sle's under warranty which were no trouble at all  \  suprising realy as you would have thought with a new gearbox it would be the electric one giving problems nt the mechanical one 

ah i think know about were you took the vid    ah youve been to a few places then    where in llandovery did you tipp ? as i know quite a few farms there    mind you alot of them are family  :D 

sure ya can afford till wait till february lad no rush, slurry ban 

they will be cheaper now    its like you dont go and buy a mower in april time you buy it at the end of the season due to the dealers wantin to get rid of them as they'll be a yr older nxt harvest   

nice work sean she looks a good size for a 955 too 

so were in wales have you been lately marcus 

my uncles a db man he has a 1390 1490 and a 1694 and is in the process of doing it up , but his had a problem with the bands in the hydrashift  \  and kept gettin stuck in gear but now its sorted    and he was quite pleased how accurate your model was , funny enough he asked me last night had anyone made any db models   

went to fetch a new feeder wagon    52 miles in a new holland tl90 with no seat suspension    = back back
