    What colour are the bottles on an oxy-acetylene cutting kit?

    in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help

    Posted

    I've never seen a red/orange acetylene bottle before Nath, normally propane in the red/orange bottles...... Some of the older gas bottles were a bit hit and miss with colours but there shouldn't be any around these days the way legislation has changed over the years, the first time it was filled up and wasn't to spec it would have been taken out of service or condemned.

    I Agree Acetylene is Maroon.  It can't be anything else as this is the British standard - all gases have there own colour.  orange/red is the colour for Propane (unless you use patio heater gas from DIY centres which has introduced Lime green/Dark green bottles, as its pleasing to the eye in the garden).

    People use propane as its easier to get hold of, as you need to contract hire acetylene.  If you can use Acetylene you would as you get a hotter flame than with propane.

    cheers lads  ive seen that over time the uh prices come down the xerion is cheaper at g and m than at C M thats why i asked if anyone had seen the power harrow set yet

    Daz

    G & M seem to be the cheapest on UH  -  I think he must buy a very large qty and due to a having a large order he gets them cheaper than other people.  All they have to do is sell the first few at normal/high cost the next few at normal/med cost and then if any left dump them cheap, probably making the same or even better margin than other traders overall.

    Tractors like the Renault and green Valtra were only ?10 at the show as they are old models.

    You have to remember if your running a proper business stock plays a major part against your profits so if you clear stock quickly then on paper your buiness can show higher profits.

    There advertising them on various websites but I think there taking advanced orders

    I've lernt over the last year trying to collect all the UH models, is to chill  ;D;D ;)

    The McCormick blue taught me that I paid ?42 for one now I find them for ?17.  I try to get the Ltd ed in some sort of haste but for example the new Xerion just wait you'll see it fall ;D::):D

    The reason they are hard to source is that the Valtra dealer network is the only way to get hold of one.  They are limited in respect that Valtra have made one order and have no intension of making another at present.  So the order was for around 1000.  The Valtra rep told me when there gone there gone - how true that is I dont know ??? ???

    Some of the UH models which are LTD do not state the quantity on the bottom eg  Blue McCorrmick, Blue Valtra, cow print and claas coloured Valtra.  I think it is due to the above reason - they arn't made as ltd ed models but they are ltd due to Valtra only buying one batch.

    the retail on these Blue loaders are 29.99 I was told

    ltd editions and the qty made

    silver valtra says on the bottom 2500

    Fendt Petrol Blue says 1500 - 500 of them were in dealer open front boxes

    Fendt Komunal says 1750

    the above are definate as there on the model

    Cow Valtra

    Blue Valtra

    Claas Valtra

    Blue McCormick

    Were all supossed to be 1500 but I certainly feel the blue McCormick isn't rare! the rest I would think they were - none of them have the LTD numder on the bottom

    The Valtra Blue with loader is Ltd to Valtra - if they want they could buy what they like.

    Hope this helps

    Claas Mowers - - - -oh what can they be!!!

    I think you should go for it! make it fold! :) :) ;D

    or paint it in kuhn colours

    Kuhn, Tarrup use this type on their rear mounted mower where they pivot in the middle of the mower bed.

    Claas follow the dutch design (Lely,Vicon) which has the suspension on the headstock.  The main reason with this design is that the dutch require a mower that can cut around 33 degrees for all the ditch bank. This design also allows you to fold up for transport, I but theres a few people out there wish theirs did! ;) ;)????

    The Khun and Tarrup design cannot do this as the mower will hit its own frame at 12 degrees.

    try this

    Yes I see where your coming from but this type of machine is hydraulically driven hense the tractor to the side of the machine and they come with hoppers or elevators to load the machine. :) :) :)

    Below is what I think it is but with a variable chain and slate machine in the frame instead of a fixed chamber

    The guarding is their new style that is currently been fitted to the big square. :)

    no the bailer is setup in the yard the corn is fed into the  bailer bale made very carefully comes out the back and wrapped

    What! you are joking! ???

    Its a Variable bale chamber baler combination - the reason its a prototype is that Vicon is the only Variable chamber version on the market - Krone is trying to get in on the act , as fixed chamber combinations cannot do 5' straw.  The chamber for Krone is chain and slat wereas most balers are belt. :)

    The picture is from europe - you can see the drawbar in the high top link position and not in the uk pickup position

    looks like krone central  ;):D

    it must be were they test new machines as they are all krone  :-\

    They do what we all do - find a loyal customer and place the machine there FOC to see if he can find the weak points during a normal contractor season. :)

    i was driving with our lorry today near cologne.as i saw this.

    ok it is a round baler from krone.but witch one?

    it looks like from the design,nearly the new class square baler QUADRANT 3400.

    but it is an round baler because on the backside is a uniwrap unit.

    and also there was no lables on it!

    is it maybe a prototype ore an zero serial?

    may anyone know more about?

    here is the pic of the baler,sorry for the mess it was impossible to get ther closer (there was an fenceless)

    I think this a prototype - if so you have earn't me some brownie points! ;) ;) ;) ;)

    Where abouts is it - just for interest of course :D;D
