Anyware between brize norton and marlborough Should also say that she has a twin that one was left in a field with a big plough on the back will try to get some working pics as the owner is my new boss / mate's brother .He chopped in a quadtrac for them

Manly to keep the cutting arm damp so the friction on the wrap does not tear (otherwise you have to keep tying it back on) and after 20 times one gets really pi**ed off pto speed is 650 rpm If you start to slow things down too much it will effect the preformance greaty and the output .when you are faced with 300 bails at an average of 40 50 hr when working properly .You can soon get down to 20 bails hr very easy

Like this should point out that someware is the front wheel where i went through the water was a main road between coleshill and highworth on the hill yes it was at the lowest point .And i did have to watch out for the ditch there was a car abandoned in the middle of the road ( i did get water over the bonnet tho we just finished and the hevans opened again the wheels are for round bails not that we have ever used them but if the hs2000 goes down we have options this is the only farm that lost some (under 2 feet of water)
-
Erm i diden't look (to busy looking at the cat )
-

Thought i better take some pics for ya inside not as nice as my mxu and wot else to end on

Heard the other day that they are working on sorting out the problem .Something to do with the coating on the arms the old one we had wasent so much of a problem till she got a few seasons under her belt ? but the wrap we use nowdays isn't as good as a few years ago. Many thanks pete . We normally grease the arms when they need it . But we are trying to slow the arms cumming down friction seems to be the prob and also i have noticed the film resedue left behind is not good green film seems to be worse
