NCC

Who's the lucky boy girl recieving the flowers Nath? 

:-X

I think he's shes worth it though ;)

Erm went for a long drive round the peaks looking at farms, tractor spotting etc dropped in at the garden centre and bought some flowers Now off down the pob to sink a few Fosters, wahey :P

Drunken mirror 

or cracked  :D

Now, now ladies :

Trying to get back in the good books, and now off to get rat arsed again ;D

The mirror ses I look gorgeous :o

Locked the SL gearbox on the Ford again  

Bloody SL box, give me an SLE Massey anyday  \

Tell me something new :D

What ever happened to the old fashioned Hula Hoop  \

He probably ate them all, you know what he's like were food is concerned

I think NCC has something that resembles that in 1;1 scale. 

Indeed I do ;D

Falcon sampo harrows I think there called, still make a decentish job, but I personally think your better off with a big set of discs. Got a bit more depth ;)

Let me know if you need anymore pics etc

he has got one now the last time i spoke to him it had been nicked and he wanted me to send one up there to him for free though chance i ant a harrold for nothing you no

Eh, you sent my last beacon up we swapped it for my pink thongs and his and her's Ursus lovers slippers \ You just keep quiet from now on your not too big to be put over my knee you know >

Anyway yes lukey baby a very nice ride that one, Santa must of bought you some taste this christmas :D You'll soon see that those Basildon heaps of scrap have nothing on a good MF *

Even has the 'go faster' twin beacons :o

Trouble with fog like that, is when you've been going round the field and can't quite remember where the gate was, so you have to drive round the outside until it appears.

Then you find a wet patch, sink the spreader to the axles and then have to be pulled out by a JQ and a NH, thats just trying to find wherabouts you spread the last load [

It's even got bars on the windows to keep you in 

The door keeps sticking too, I tried head butting the window to get out as the 'gearbox' was too loud, I only managed to crack the glass though \ \

My manitou i had all summer had a 'gearbox' and i loved the thing i never used the clutch once in the whole 400hrs i used it, i changed gear using the shuttle by whacking it into neutral and changing gear then putting it back into forward worked same as a clutch, even when breaking it disengaged clutch automatically. So why is Matbro's were gearbox is terrible dont loose as much power through the drive in a gearbox which was perfect for grain pushing as i've stalled em on grain pushing

:o

Get in a powershift and then see which one you prefer. Yes you may lose some power but lifes alot easier just twisting a lever or pressing a button to change gear, especially when mucking out sheds, loading the feeder wagon etc. One arm steering, one arm controlling the boom and then oh bugger i need to change gear then you need 2 arms and a 14lb sledge hammer to get the gears in that 'gearbox' into gear. Each to there own though ;)

Blimey Nath... fingers crossed for you then mate.... whatever next... you may well get blisters on your hands mate  :o :o

Don't worry Marky it comes with a Neutrogena Autolube as standard, about the only things thats good about it ;)

Sounds like you're not having a nice time of it mate...... \

It's actually quite a big clumsy looking machine the TS isn't it mate......Is it a lot harder to move around the farm in compared to the TR?

Our Merlo is away at the menders this week too, all it wants to do is reverse......

It's a lot more clumsy than I thought it would be Mart, our yards and feed passages are quite tight in places and with the TS being quite a bit wider and longer than the TR it takes some shunting backwards and forwards to get were you want to to go, even with it's excellent turning circle ;)

Our old Matbro kept wanting to reverse everywhere at one stage, the pins had come out of the mech shuttle I'm guessing the Merlo uses an electric shuttle, which makes the problem a little harder to solve \ \

Gearbox 

That really must be a "bottom of the range" piece of kit then Nath... how long will the TR250 take to repair mate 

Don't mention  the "gearbox" >

I want powershift, I've never yet drivin a teleporter with a "gearbox" there below me, pulling levers and pressing the clutch button, I mean come on were not in the stone age are we :

TR should be back with us tomorrow all being well, if not it will be 2007 \ Another week of using the gearbox, bu&&er :'( :'(

A few more of the "thing", pic burrowed from pyketts website :D

We blew up the powershift pack in our newly purchased Matbro TR250 last Tuesday [ It couldn't cope with the hectic life style on a 350 head mixed farm :D Anyway G&R Pyketts collected the poor TR in style (Fendt 930TMS and Kane Lowloader ) on the same Tuesday and bought this Matbro TS260 to keep us going while they fit the pack. It's horrid to drive, can't see a thing out of it mainly behind and the offside, steers like a tank, has the noisiest gearbox (yes gearbox ) ever, doesn't have a radio, oh and the heater doesn't work. I so want my piviot steer back :'( :'( :'(

is that in daylight nath??? what time did you take that pic as it looks near as dark doesn't it

Near enough day light, was snapped at 4pm this afternoon. Been foggy like that for the last 3 days. Visibility is a mere 50ft if that \ \

Muck spreading in this oribble fog, got me fog lights on though ;D

:D

Excellent ;D

Nice machine grim, is that an 8 or 10 rotor model

Pi$$head!!!! 

Banginhead more like \ \ deere oh deere my heads spinning \ \ :'(

Getting pi$$ed , showing cattle and oh I got dragged round Derby vattle market by a 850kg belgian blue bullock only been halter trained for on longer than 8 hours so went wappy big style when we treid to lead it round the ring, was the christmas fat stock show see We entered 5 of our show cattle all of which came in the top 3 of there class 3-1st 1-2nd and 1-3rd place. Anyway gotta dash off to get rat ar$?ed even more ;D *
