L33 DA17ON

Yeah its scary at 5he moment as hes 6month post transplant so were classed as the highest risk. Wednesday was 10hours but I drove to our farm and spend a couple hours putting new steps on the jd6600. Hope Mrs.r is ok.

Took the work bench to Newcastle today. The boy was in river hospital and only one of us are allowed on the ward with in. Just with the virus. So I thought I'd have a go at making a load of silage bales. It's a tedious job. But got other 30 made. I had a go at using black electrical tape but didn't think it looked to good. And it starts to peel after a couple days. So I used bin bags and cut up kitchen roll tubes. I think I'll have a go at spraying then as well see how it turns out. Think I'll have a go with lagging aswell see how they turn out.

Sitting in the front carpark at Newcastle rvi hospital today for 8hours. And the sun shining like this...... but were home now.

You've got to love them over the pond for tackling things like this. I watched a farmflix video about a Irish lad how went over not hundred percent where but went to work for someone. Said it's just supersize with everything. Think it was robinsons or something like that.

Nice to see that sort of stuff. Is it a common fault. Would running them big triple wheels and tyres have out to do with it? Nothing on that sortbofcscale but when we put a full set of flotation tyres and wider rims on a hurlimann the Lad said we'll have issues with the size might damage the axles and braking. Been on 5 year now with no issues.

Yeah its worrying seen wether this morning and looks like not much rain this week. The wain helped a little at the weekend but not much. We have realy but you get a load of stragglers at the end. Got 50 odd in the lambing shed and some singles in the field.

Nothing like seeing the tractor pull into the field with mowercon. That smell of freshly cut grass. Looks like a good crop you have there. There nothing on ours yet itll be a late one for us this year I think shill have owes and lambs in meadows. Saying that theres still ewes lambing

Started a wooden shed that sits opposite the bottom cattle shed on our farm. this shed was used for lambing. But as we built a new shed up in the next yard it's now used for the pygmy goats in winter.

Think you've done a great job on the buildings and the slabs, the slabs look good as each one is so different. Like the finishing touches. Great work its nice to see the workmanship going into them.

Great work there mate. Can I ask what thickness your making them?

We had the 6410 it was our main tractor when I I was a boy. We ended up putting a tanco loader on it. Then it had a cab fire. We changed it for a jd 3650 as we got a bigger baler and ford wouldn't pull the jd baler. You interested in selling it?

Just scrolling through the posts. Spotted this 6410 we had one on the farm years ago do you still have the 6410?

This was the other dj the draining gang had. With stone cart.

Like them fords mate.. not sure I should be saying that as I'm supposed to be a jd man. Are the tw15 the same engine as the 8210? I really need to buy a 1.32 ford tw and try get a conversion 8210 for my diorama. Nice pictures

Yeah it does we have a chrome pipe for it. It was on when my brother bought the tractor. But hes like a old mad and changed it to the standard one. Rear arms never worked as it's the electronic ones fitted on it. Was some solenoid or something. Missing the bottom side panels as well but they seem very hard to get hold of.

Thanks I do have a soft spot for the 8210. The field with the draining rigs in gets cut for silage and the ford pulls the baler up that hill better than the 66 that's why it's on baler. We removed the panels a couple years ago and sent them to get sprayed. The box section on bottom of doors are little rotten but not bad. Thought about rattle can spraying the cab but thought it wouldn't look right. 66 got the same treatment same time but had new rear mudgaurds as well.

Also got a couple shots of out tractors ford never get unhitched from baler does nothing else frond farm. 6600 is the main tractor round the farm does all the mower work, fert spreading and muck spreading, drawing out and growing up. Then when fords balding it goes on McHale 991 rapper.

Had the joy of watching these guys work today there draining 2 of our fields. I asked asked one of the guys what engines they where running he said ford 8210 and 7610. They also had a new john deere but didn't get pics as it was in top field with stone cart on. Got a video of them working but wont let me post it says file to big?

Could be the seller. I've had it done to me before where the seller has 2 accounts and when you put a bid in, he puts a couple pound more in. Happened to me with a stihl longreach headge cutter.

Looks like some moneys worth. I'd love a volvo Amazon as a barn find.

What's the cars in background?

Same tractors yes please.

Was up at our farm today with my 4 year old daughter to get her to see the upbringing I had save to say shes not that keep. Hopefully my sone will show some interest. Anyway had to take a couple pics

Yes we did. They were ok to deal with. I believe they've designed there own gritter them selves. Only issue we had with the pronar was the spinner it only had a 5meter chuck out so doing big car parks you have to do a lot passes.
