have to watch what i say not to sound stupid cause when it comes to places over the water im not to good    em sandbeck farms in/near Grantham hope that means somthing 

thats at college, 5470 pulled her out once we found a chain 

if only you didnt have the tool for the job, muhahahaa 

9acre field we reseeded heaped a 12ton nc dumper with stones  no stone fork either 

couple more... then finally the most important one.. the useless pig were she belongs 

wow took me a while to find this topic again  \ just a small update, nothing overly exciting i dont think but hay   

hopefully this topic will liven up over the summer as i will be heading to Lincolnshire for my college placement 

just a few off slurry spreading in January

And rolling last week 

last run around the field

ready for the slurry kat by the looks of things 

my turn  there was more but its delivered an all 

Yours won't load?

onto my R plates  passed me driving this morning 

if any of the chat on other forums, fwi or mags like profi are anything to go by the scorpions are the best around although probably the dearest of handlers there well worth the extra. you should check some of the stuff out on fwi, some makes intresting reading 

Mullahead ploughing match is a better crack. Tractor pulling and there is plenty of action at the ploughing..

i didnt get the impression the topic was started to determine which day out was the best, Fintona is a machinery show, Mullahead is a ploughing match you cant really compare the two...

oh and its 'craic' not 'crack'

There was talk of a load of us going 

theres more than just a load... are whole squad has to go, then some agri ones are goin too... bus leave 10 sharp on tuesday morning 

Painting shear grabs and pumps plus building a few more slurry pumps. Also waiting on the post man to get my next project 

snow and ice  started the day slipped with bucket of meal flying everywhere.  then a few tractors weren't to keen to start. boss couldn't get backed up the yard to feed, ended up jack knifing and bending the pto shaft. Water troughs and pipes were frozen had to carry boiling water to them, not easy on icey yards. the milk lorry got stuck coming up the yard, driver found this highly amusing... me not so much  \ then discovered mains into the farm house was frozen, tracks had to be cut and dug to bury new pipes... between frozen clay and rocks even the 3cx struggled, an hour long job took several  to list but a few of my annoying problems today  :'(

wow ladys.. im just sayin what i was told 

apparently without a swivel hitch you have a bit more resistance from over turning whereas if it can swivel it'll just go on over. The dealer said that one he sold, redrock, over turned and the driver said it wouldnt have happened if the hitch hadnt been a swivel  \ as the previous tanker with standard eye never gave any trouble 

well wasnt sure if they were going again or not, and im not sure if they'd be in my top 2  \

oh and any dealers round are way dont advise a swivel eye whether its on top or below 

sections would be a good idea right enough dont know why there not done though  NC, Herbst and redrock would be at the top of my list and strangely enough hispec and major at the bottom  \ but thats opinion and my uncle used to work with a major and said it was the worst tanker ever (2000 gallon) 

nice winter pics there  decent fleet an all 

shame about the mud guard, if you do decide to change it i can strongly recommend Dunlop Dunlo-flex mudguards, we replaced all ours to these even though there were in reasonable condition. 

your some pup marky, yet again unbeat'n  ill get you yet  em... er... a prize  \ you can sleep with peace of mind that you fingured it out 

do my ears deceive me  marky its not like you  \

interesting topic, tidy tractor Brian    hope you dont mind me posting but heres my grandas old buckraking tractor  was just wondering what sort of cab it was  \

bit before my time 

for sheet plastic i use a heavy duty paper guillotine (1.5mm sheets about its limit  ) , its fine for large pieces but tends to curl up smaller strips. had to make my own tool for the small strips (like a guillotine). to put an angle on the edge of a sheet i just run the edge of the knife along at desired angle, works pretty well. 

as for cutting rods and box, i have one of them chopper II's but they leave a bad shape, just have to buff it of  \

cheers Mark, aye hes daft alright hopfully these things are drummed out of him now

  yes telehandler
