Stuarty C

HTC desire for me, excellent phone cant fault it in the slightest, fast, user friendly and the keypad knows what im doing before i do 

yeah Tris first time working with the spuds. theres definite signs of money in agriculture yet, lots of big new kit, combine, plough, 4 nh's, trailers, ect..    thanks, only with i had a camera though  \

it pains me to say it mark but credit where credits due its a nice tractor  heard people complain about the dyna 6 gear box before but dont know why, i cant really fault it 

all sounds good, i noticed you had the driven diablo's i mentioned them to the man on the harvester  the t6080 couldnt manage without the ground drive on the harvester thats for sure. we keep shifting between a couple of varieties, ambo is one of them, cant remember the other 2 and have finished all the harmony. there sold for export in big ton bags or in smaller bags for shops and asda. theres another company local who grow earlier potatoes for McCains, they were very small and had trouble selling them  \

now then the 6495, kept this tractor in the field and swapped trailers on the road, this girl can grip, the super single tyres just dropped into the axles and the mf just pulls on, occasionally backing back to clear what its dragging in front, very impressed 

the ruts were even worse the next day as it rain alot on weds/thursday night  \

slippy headlands, no bother to the mf 

now onto the potatoes, it was lovly n dry, dust was blowing... some what different now  t6080 with grimme 170gt and grimme front topper. there was 3 6465's but one decided to stop, so the 6495 is a hire tractor    also the t7030 that i was disappointed with  \

damper conditions

nice set up and song. looks to be a pretty good crop too ? what variety is it your lifting at the minute?

the harvester where im working is also struggling, kept making mud rolls/sausages in the webs so had to fit bars inside them, and struggle to get the soil up the share, just wants to push it along  \ all part of the fun i suppose 

cheers tris, im quite proud of that one  all my photos were only made with my phone, will me purchasing a camera for next year to see what i can do.

placement year sorta, started in june and only to the end of october to go. just started with a potatoe company to finish of so will have a few different machines to toy with

in shropshire , not far from welsh border. Its a fair distance but hawk hire out all over

aw right

just had a check there this evening and it is a rea valley tractor 

sounds good rich. where about was this? 

yeah mate, just started with spuds boys today, so now driving nh's and masseys   

almost certain there both sharmans  although i will check as im not sure about the one hired of hawk.

Fantastic range of tractors you get to drive Stuart, which is your favourite workmate out of those you've just posted?

yeah i consider myself lucky, thought i was just going to be driving the mtx. hard to choose between the fendts and the deeres. loved cultivating on the 930, even though she is dead for 300hp. was suprised that i liked the 6930 so much which im on most of the time  \ tough decision 

we had some problems with the floats on the trailer I used this year... I don't think they are well suited to a lot of road work really  \  .. they do get bloody hot after a few hours running at high speed 

were they alliance tyres? there was a complaint sent baileys way. agree with you 100% very soft tyre and do get rather hot  \

OOOooooo  *  .. some serious MF'idge in the field Stuarty... thanks for sharing mate... looks like you are having fun.. not sure I like to see that poor 74 bogged down though  :'( :D

indeed mark, there was about 10 masseys at one stage    yeah plenty of fun

update required i think. had a change of scenery at harvest in Lincolnshire since june so plenty of pics. still working at cultivations at present all combining is read up bar about 20 acre of beans    there was 2 combines running, claas lexion 580tt and 570+ tt.

my tractor to start was the mtx 135, then a 6920s and now on an 08plate 6930  . done a few days carting with a fendt 820 and a 6810. also done a day or 2 on the ttx190. ooh and a week on a 930 cultivating       

any way few pics, any questions fire away 

O aye big crop! 

Dont know why the 840, All I know is she done some messing about that day! 

ooh dear, was davy driving her ?

up in carrickfergus for old davy i see. nice drop in that field in the 2nd pic  why did he have the 840 and not the 800 

Its underway....

Averaged around 6 bales to the acre, not bad... 

my nice rowing  seen clyde flat out there today, did you get any pictures 

if your wanting to stay pivot steer there was a preview of the replacement for the jcb tm200 at scotgrass, think it was a tm220 should be ready for release soon if its not already.

You have to say it does obviously look a wee bit wet there. 

What was on the back?

well i personally wouldnt have been turning on it but they made it half way along the field tuning on that pad not marking to badly.. then ooops.. a slightly more tender pad 

pottinger power harrow

granthams the other end of lincolnshire to me

so i see, i google Louth 

the money i would pay to see that for real

it was some craic now  any other tractor would of drove straight out but the vt transmission is hopeless 

Nice little update Stuart. Grass looks in good order over there. It has shot up here in Wiltshire and gone a lovely dark lush green colour. Will you be in Lincolnshire for the October Spalding Show? Be a good visit for you.

grass is just starting to pick up now, anything that didnt see slurry is poor still, thankfully we dont have the cow numbers we used to or they'd have the place bare.

oh theres an idea, yeah im there july to end of october hopefully. would be nice to get a trip to it if it suits
