    how are you so calm about it then??? do you get treated badly??? if so do you enjoy it??

    i dont know you at all but i calnt see that you would enjoy being treated badly, we all need to be treated with a little respect and treated well and no offence we should be paid a wage that is worth working for. i have been at the bottom for the past 5 years apart from a blip in the summer. ive been working on farms since the age of 12 and that was all down to me as im not really from a farming background, ive wanted it and gone for it and still not really got anywhere with it, just still the farm worker that does not look like he has a future. even with all the tickets and experience. its looking like it has all been a waste of time as it is not being put to any use at all even though there are chances for it to be used. are you having the same problem

    how long have you been job hunting

    Wow now, throw the anchor out lad! While I don't agree with the wage you are getting for the hours ( my first ever pay cheque for about 50hrs was 135 quid in 05 ) you are still at college, your post sounds like you are expecting a management position. The only thing I'd be worrying about if I was you is getting a reasonable wage for what you do, finishing your course, get a visa for newzealand, drink and women!

    I don't rate caterpillar at all horrible to look at and awful to use, I used a fresh jcb 536 70 for harvest i liked it plenty of power comfort viability ect, however have a look at the recent merlos as well, and even tho you liked the 634 manitou, the 627 is a different machine so you should of tryec that before you purchased

    I have a tin of fendt grey, it is the biggest pile of rubbish of a paint i have ever used so dont be buying a dealer fendt aerosol

    not sure on a match yet sorry

    Good to know tho I wasn't planning on a run to ballymoney.

    Isn't it very similar to MF50th grey Chris ? .. MF spray cans are really good when shaken for a good 2 or 3 mins in my (limited) experience

    I don't know marky but it could be I hope, it's not for all I need to do either  :D

    Nice power harrowing photos, Chris. The NH looks smart on the low pressure tyres too. You must have really enjoyed your time with this farm  8) 8)

    Thanks the Kuhn left a great finish, loved the power harrowing a lot less stress than leading corn, the auto steer helped with that, when it was working  ;D, I did enjoy the most of it now  ::)

    Great pictures Chris... thanks for sharing them mate.. quite some operation by the looks ofthings then  :of

    You still interested in our previous pre-harvest discussions buddy  ;)

    Thanks marky, it's a business that dosnt want to stand still that's for sure.

    I am still interested, I'm just trying to get plans in place ATM and if the offer still stands I would love to get over for a chat.  :)

    thank you for sharing.. looks a brilliant place to work with an incredible acreage.. I saw one picture of the yard.. that is humongeous.. they keep 800 sows, but you also said they had a goat farm?

    how many tractors and self-propelled machinery do they work with as i can imagine it is quite a bit you'd need to cultivate 3500 acres.. 8):of

    Cheers, it is a good place to work, you have to put in a hell of a lot of hours in but you get looked after well, I have more pics of the yards I'll put up, yes there were goats but they werent owned by buckles, there is a share or contract agreement in place were buckles look after all the arable work on the goat farm, they milked 2500 on it a great new unit too unfortunalty I havnt got many pics of it!

    Thanks Jordan, the farm covered 3500 acres arable which included owned, rented and share farming agreements and there were 700 - 800 sows as well, the fendt was a nice tractor I have to say, handled the power Harrow well slightly better than the NH but it should as it has 60hp more according to the dyno. But it actually used 8 litres more cherry in a day than the NH
