pistol pete

ye it was good to get a bit of tractor work again. she went mad when we forgot her JD boiler suit. the banks are sandy as it is near the coast even though it is a big machine because of the ground and the tines were in a far bit the 85 was dying going up the hill. Frankie always makes a good job he is the head tractor man even though he is the youngest of everybody that works there. cant remember how many tons sean but it will hold the 280 acres of our cereals most of which is weat. will post some pics of it tonight mate.

ye that is the new grain store sean have some pictures of it. it is a big difference at the farm when i was 14 and was carting of with the fraiser 6 ton and the deutz 4.30 we used to tip in one of the courts. then we took on another farm with an old aircraft hanger but it is about 60 years old now and falling to bits hence the shed.

would have been better if i had got a little more work. but as i am moving back to the uk with work next year may get to farm a bit more.

some pictures of our new wrapper. it is another Mchale but the hi speed one it only needs 9 wraps to cover the bale istead of the 18 which means we can do 70 bales in an hour now. we do alot of contarcting with this so the speed helps. on the 6820

All the pictures were taken in the Arbroath area. all of my mates tractors are deeres and so are both ours. Netherton the local John Deere dealer have sold 35 10 plate deeres this year and there are about another 15 60 plates ready to go out

a few of our TX34 which is on an L plate. this has been a great combine but dont know if it my be changed for a lexion 460/480 next year

few pictures no from the real Firhills farm. Didnt manage to get any when we at the silage as I wasn't allowed the d90 and mine was dead so these are all taken when i had to take my youngest for a hurl when i was shifting the last load of dung.me and Nairne about to set of on our way back(picture taken by my wife finished

this is one of there older and is a spare 6810 with hedge cutter on it. last one of the machiner that was at Irons hill. 6910s rotovating

the oldest of their 3 teleporters. all cats this one is about 6 years old the youngest not even a year old their one an only combine they bought this with the 35ft header as the 40ft wasn't avaliable last year but there was word of changing it for 1 with a 40ft header

well have just been home to scotland for two weeks. due to us having no winter crops anymore there wasn't much to do. the wife was well happy this time but I wasn't so time on the tractor was short. i took a few pics of our kit and remembered to take the camera and get some pics of the kit my mate had at one of his 7 farms they have to be one of the biggest farms in the north of scotland with nearly 4000 acres of there own and more ground rented for tatties. frankies 8530 and sima SL500 last one look no hands

ye the front window is areal pain thinking of cutting a recess out on each side to glue it in on the next one. always do the side windows when the tractor cab is in half.

a mchale v550 and high speed 991 wrapper.

here is apicture of mine. this is the valtra wheels on a 6600

on 2 6910 i have made i have used mtx 175 wheels and axles. on the 6810 and 6910s i am building am going to use duetz wheels and axle and a claas 657

is it staying in one place wish somebody would cast the front and rear wheels/tyres as they are great on 7530 as narrow tyres

just bought another wiking 6930 £37 not bad i thought

well spoke to a mate and they wont be buying a fendt not that they dont like them but a they are 40k to 50k more expensive to buy now than other brands.

Martin saw the 83 working up near the forfar motrose cross roads with the case combine parked up last week as well. dont think there will be much combining up here for a good few days as it has just piddled with rain for about 6 hrs.

cheers for the comments yeh like the 2wd older deeres to used to drive one when i was full time on the farms as well as my 2850 which was new at the time

still have to finish it yet am back on holiday just now. but when get home will get it finished and put up some pics.

good to see pictures of the macdonald fleet working the new holland was down beside us today. they also have one of the last 6910s made. most of the deeres are repaired at the farm to as gillan one of the family was a mechanic at nethertons for years

nice deere fleet there mate

wonder if there will be an ftf stand this year.

no models for ages and then there is no stopping you. will look good when finished.

we use 6830 and a 6820 with a ronny gardiner 14t and bailey 11t from a tx34 with 18ft header.
