Tractorman810

well that 2 weeks of holiday went hellish quick, temps of mid 30’s for most of it topped of 40 for two days while in lisbon, nice easy 2.5 hour drive back this morn from southapton, left 7.30 home just before 10 , nice and quiet, no proper traffic to deal with, unlike the 4 and a half hours up on the sat two weeks ago

Thats not steep smithy you should see the fields they cut down this way 😆😆😆😆 currently sat in lisbon , Portugal having a few drinks , now heading north after 2 weeks off and not seen one single tractor even in southampton docks when we left

Mm not seen one any where yet bar that one . The 10 series deeres were the last ones i appreciated looks wise so it would be nice to get a few decent others to the 7810 ect

Your gonna cost me a fortune mate, will order ine when i get home to pair with the other

When are the jd 84’s out then not seen any for sale yet

your not alone mate, not seen a combine working in ages now, all parked up, few people doing 2nd maybe 3rd cut grass, was speaking to a farmer today while getting some permission to work forms done on his land,and hes got a good 200 acres of beans sat, all ready to go,prob 2 weeks early, but cant get on the land,just way to wet, which is also compounded by it being steep hills as well, most of its gone black ,but also starting to fall over due to the water weight. wont be easy to lift now he recons.

yeah mines all uh based on a 3080 chassis , 690 bonnet extended, seen others on various chassis, not a uh 2000 one yet mind. they werent as big compared to a 2000 series MF from memory ?, we did try a 26?? to replace the 1250 but never did,the 1250 was better for what we needed , this is why i went the route i did, bar being longer bonnet wise, height wise and width i do not really remembers ours being much bigger overall to the pair of 690, and the swb 698t we had, just more grunt. wheel wise all ours were identical sizes rear wise , so puncture wise we could swap easily to keep going, with very flinty soil punctures were common , cant remember if the 690’s went up or the 699 came down size wise on the rears mind, been a good few years now

just seen these two on facebook, from VAK, who did the fords last year, ford 7500 and a 5095 which i cant say i have heard of before . both look good for all you fordy lovers out there .

i really like that camo paint, way better than just black,

not a great drive either, antwerp bypass is a pig, even when quiet, we would easily take a good 3-4 hours to zwolle, so the new place is prob 2-3 hours drive ,hence why we go from harwich now, all drive to markys place in cambridge and 1 car from there, lot easier driving the distance this side than that .

very similar to the uh ones, just be extra carefull as the lug on the top of the casting can very easily split the top of the bonnet,and in some cases pull the mount through,the plastic can be hellish brittle

a no for me this year as well, to close to my holiday and not enough leave left to cover it sadly ,we sort of knew when we left last years of the location, was just the dates to be confirmed

bit far for me to go, unless work sends me, will keep an eye out on the way to southampton in a couple of weeks mind

oh smithy you have fallen prey of the pimp my tractor brigade 😆😆😆😆black rims ,your way to easily misled 😆😆😆

it does look pretty good in that grey camo stuff and black mind, and thats coming from someone who’s not hugely into brand colour swaps, way better than the all black mf and fendt ideals

will do you a few years gav, that german stuff just seems to go on and on

looks a bit large, but how the hell would dragging a header that long on a road be legal, thats way over the length a trucks trailer can be without a permit to move isnt it?? saw a post today with a truck and trailer stopped by the old bill at 19m , at 15m then the draw bar, plus towing item thats going to be way over

blimey, didnt see that coming, looks tidy, she a gti or a gtd cant really see the grill badge i got this in march, so the drop tops gone now

has the st focus gone then mark ?.

cheers for that,will drop him a message when i get back from my holiday, not got much time right now

wheres that kit from then jack

canned it phil ,no idea how you remove a youtube link, tried a food few times for you . done it more so due to kids seeing it rather than us grown ups

i may have a go at some myself, but will bear him in mind, the blower is self built, we used to have one for our big permastore silo ,ran it on the mf1250 ,overkill but was free that time of year

not had time paul,hellish busy at work and home right now.

po miniturbou or something like that on facebook, got a good few bits of him, inc my 3680 bonnets, same guy does the patv wheel hubs for the uh 2000 series and. 3000 series
