Light Land

Chipped 8200 kermit.

Snaps from an informal meeting of local contractors trying out new tillage kit.There was only a hand full of people there but a nice morning all the same standing in the rain and talking tractors 

Busy pictures PS.I know you would have enjoyed seeing that grass kit working. :)

Smart pictures of smart tractors.

Because it's prob the best way to keep the cop off your back when driving over bridges.

I'll post up some Valtra pictures for you in a day or two.

Gutted for you Oli... got a big dent in my bonnet the other day from a stone - sickening isn't it 

cheers mate,I could have made a sailor blush after that.

That should explain it the best.

Even in the rain the ground still got a good mix up.

Valtra tractor giving a stubble paddock a wind up with a Morris magnum II chisel plough.

Oh the sound!  :P :P

Sweet ride,your a lucky guy.

What you would'nt have an old Duncan seedliner  :D

Yer it's a nice drill that dave allan drill.

They are owned by a farming company that have about 10,000ac of land,dairy and cropping.

Mint pic's NH2,plenty of power on hand.

Have you seen mike english's "dave allan" air seeder getting around ashburton grim? pulls it with a case CVX.

JD 8120 sunflower tillage train

JD 8410 sub soiling

JD 7810 vaderstad drill

(all had rear dauls)

All working in the one paddock drilling winter wheat.Was fair few sounds coming over the hedge with them 3 kermits giving the paddock a shake up.

An 8 legger isuzu silage truck coming the other way throw up a stone and hit the front window on my ute,second bust window this year

You could get a loader for the front/top or put a siku front hitch in the front.

Yes 50k powered by a MAN engine.The xylon also can be fitted with a front end loader.

Would be neat to see a jcb and an xylon go head to head in the paddock and on the road.

ade was one of the frist in the UK to own one.

FP some of the farms round here are quite small so the first cut is taken very early . A chap called david heywood 2 miles away will soon have his first 60 acres of first cut done ,then a contractor comes in to plough as soon as the forager leaves the field so he can get his maize in . the second cut comes from the smaller fields which is baled

Thanks now it sound beter to me.

i dare say ricky the door is from a 40 series tractor 

as for the lights on the ford tris ,being nz it was probably built for the north american market where the lighting regs are different , thats why the headlights on the older big deeres were built into the rear fenders , many of the rear windows on n/american fords were a sliding design & not a the split folding rear window that is comon to us here

Well said mjb mate,we have a mix of EU and US kit here as you can see from my pic's.

Is there any US kit working in the UK?

I can't see why people go out chopping grass silage when the ground is a bit wet after all it gose in the stack and is not used used for age's could you not hold off abit and not mess up your land?

I have had stuff all to do with silage and don't realy know feel free to put me right anyone. :)

You would be permanently pecking  :D

Best take a wee grubber in with me. :D

doesn't look man enough for a bed former mart , maybe a cambridge roller would suit ?

Your right mjb,they both tow around rollers when ended.
