More before harvest work

Thanks tris, a few more now from before harvest, a bit of spraying, leading straw ect.

Hi all, just completed the harvest and cultivation season in east Yorkshire, I have plenty of pictures to share with you all but I am going to leave you with this teaser tonight!

There are a few for me, any 6 cylinder 4 valve Deere, any 765 or 865 challenger they sound good all the time, the t7050 auto command I'm driving at the minute, the power command one sounds good too but not as good, the lexion 770 romping through a heavy crop of wheat, our 6610 on the slurry mixer.

Busy indeed, the money is the only reason that I'm here and a few more grand saved and I'm off home. The boss is unreal, he can't understand why any one would take a day off, even tho he offered it to me!

I am having a day off 1300 acres of wheat knocked off in 9 days and 4 days on a hedge cutter, and if he thinks I'm coming in because the sun is out he can run and jump I'm going for a fry up and a ride out

You are indeed correct Mark, a bit of independence will help him no end, but a bit of family labour always comes in useful, he sounds like a smart young fella one day a brain surgeon maybe?

Sorry to hear about the dog Mark, i don't know what i would do without mine now. Would your lad not be interested in cubeing cardboard and plastic ?

Just the standard theme, and my "hello cj" and profile pic have gone too, but I'm defiantly still logged on

is it just me or has the "recent posts" buttons from the top of the page missing

The biggest field I've ever been in was 15000 acres but that was in OZ, in the uk probably about 110 acres.

i have a ltd edition MIB claas ares 657 from "Agri coll association chartres 2006" any one know what its worth ? cheers

I need more details on the 7930

Wheres the cutting?

Don't worry Jordan it will come you just have to do the rookie thing

Just be careful he don't shaft you in some way I wouldn't be too keen on it, But surely the extra money he pays you and your work mates would pay for a 10 - 15000 litre fuel store

If it is it's a damn weird way of getting paid

You mean he charges you for the diesel you use doing his work ?

You mean he paid you 38.50 per hour for labour?

That's what the wooly things are for ! Would probably have paid better too

38.50 per hour? For what, I thought you worked for that spud outfit?

That pic of the irrigator with the nozzle in the distance is brilliant, something different for the power on the land competition.

Much appreciated gav

Up to Christmas I suppose, theres bound to be some one who had a couple of students go back for start of term, it does not have to be beet either, maize, ploughing, feeding cattle what ever really. Just so I can save up the dollars, I have a hair brained idea

Oohh , well Norfolk isn't set in stone yet so even anyone you would recommend working for could be useful, from the end of sept on, cheers gav
