The current magnum range is the 225, 250, 280, 310 and 335

Range before that was the 230, 255 and 285

Then the original MX range was 180, 200, 220, 240 and 270

That's great buddy, cheers.

mx 135 ? umm 150

They were the new Maxxums.

What was the number range on the later MX Magnums?.... Had a mind block.

Pretty sure Ricky has.

the environment watcher dudes pains in the ar$e will be after you lot :D :D

Does depend on what schemes you are on aswell.

Mucking out for me since 5 this morning as I thought I might have had a blow out on the 10t Wootton I've hired and sure enough I did, so go that changed and going again. Just so tiring when your on the handler aswell as you dont get a break, so time for breakfast.

can be posted mind at a push :D

Oh right so you can post me some was that? :

Sorry Will... missed this post.. one on the A1M just after the Hatfield tunnel.. one on the slip off to the A505 and a real beauty on the 505 just before the new tunnel going from Hitchen to Royston..... an 80mph slide good an proper.. I was with Amanda.. and she went a little white  :D

So did I come to that  :D

Ah I know, so near to where CJ works in the summer. ;)

not tried it yet to be honest mate, been a bit busy, but have enough to try that, coffees free at starbucks if you have one nearby

Hmm not really to be honest, far too modern for Buckinghamshire.

dried coffee works well mate but i also have some dry sived compost to, which works as good, the coffee tends to stick to wheels ect so adds to the effect ,but the tyres sink easily into it and it can not show implement marks at times, where as the compost shows the implement marks but wont stick to add the mud effect and doesnt leve tyre marks either

What about a mixture?

Well, what's best to use? What's this dried coffee like?

Whats going to be on the back of a group of Young Farmers T-Shirts at Blackpool.....

"Spilsby young farmers, working hard so chavs don't have to"

Place your bets now on how many escape Blackpool (A.K.A chav central) alive :D

Ours are 'Beds Young Farmers- Fancy a ride on my first CLAAS chopper and have a nibble on my corn?' \

It's been diabolical in London and Hertfordshire today.... visibility down to a few feet on the roads... had 2 or 3 exciting aquaplanes on the A1M and A505  :o

Which stretch was that Marky?

Spent many a happy summer evening sat on the step of one of these stacking bales at silage time as a child, so I thought I'd sex the Britains one up a bit, for a more old school silage machine. Now has a 2wd axle, bigger front axle, McHale Bale handler an the usual bits. Let me know what you think. ;)

Thanks will have to get a pocket guide the thing that put me off was the ?17.95 price guide 

A small price to pay.

Looking very well Cerin and yes it was an MTX chasis.

maybe but not a big fan of the cx105 but maybe just maybe

Same chasis, wheel size and engine I believe.

Should have thought a CX 105 would have been your closest bet.

Getting over-taken by Frank Bruno of all people in a maroon Bentley, down a very narrow lane whilst turning out cattle this afternoon.

Bloomin great fox out in the lambing field.......am I in for a cold night. \

Where's cheapest?

As above. What's everyone view on these? Worth the money? \

Speed wise

depending on soil composition    go as fast as the tractor will pull them as the movement of the soil will aid in the breaking process in medium soil

if it is heavy soil first go with a stedy speed in the direction of the plough to loosen and levell the clods then when finished go over it in the other direction at a good speed as not to labour the tractor too much and it should break it down a fair ammount

Does that make sence \

Sure does.

Cheers for the help Colm. Have a day off on Friday, so I shall start it weather permitting. ;)

Will,

This is what I would do if I was using it - set the top link level - uniform depth across the harrow - also make sure both lift arms are the same length on the screws

As for depth - you need a bit of soil so drop it down 4 -5" anyways in the soil.

As for speed usually go in 5th or 6th gear in the Ford's - go a little faster than what you plough at in the Maxxum or about the same speed as you spread fertiliser

8kph?
