  1. so are you in matty n peter n graeme and mark and davys course then stuarty???

    im in with, peter, greame, mark and davy, all doing landbased technology ;) although were split into groups and i think greames the only one in mine  :-\ there is a boy matty in my group or do you mean Fendt man here  ???

  2. nice pictures sir. that krone rake i was on yest is some curse, a boi that works for the rakes owner mangled it round a telegraph pole ???::)???::)???>:( >:( flipping tube! rake had to be straightened with a bit of heat and healthly persuasion, she now doesnt rake great though, misses bits all the time, you have to go real slow with high revs but that then lumps the grass >:( >:(

    :D :D sh*t happens, uncle did that one year only bent one arm and we;ve carried a spare ever since, aswell as a spare wheel, havent bent an arm since 9touch wood) and only had one flat  ::):D i keep her on high revs anyway  ::)

    I do like your pictures Wee nash, there is something about the McCormicks that appeals to me, they do seem to be closer to the old Internationals than their Case counterparts  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

    i cant really fault them myself although i wont say there anywhere near the best on the market, dont like the newer cases as there blue in there blood  :D

  3. good pictures Stu, our rake was back out rowing up straw the other day  :-[:D 35ft squar  ;) we hada go and bale on the main road most of the straw was on it  :D :D

    :D :D rowing straws great, just go as hard as you can till you canny sit in the seat  ;D  some of the feilds i was in yesterday were tiny, twice round and once up in a few  :-\ lucky my rake isnt any bigger  :D

    get the claas rake on the 1390  ;D:D :D

    hate them oul DB's, steering is very slack  :-\

  4. things were quiet for a while but starting to pick up now, unfortunately im at college now  >:( but theres always half days and saturdays  ;D contractor only has 4 drivers including himself and with 3 combi balers and 2 1 combine (wee 1503 dropped a valve n put a piston out) dosnt leave many spare drivers  :D they manage to slack a driver for mowing but wee seem to be rowing the bulk of it  :) then with most contractors into hedge cutting and cereals we get some added work, i had to ted a bit for neighbours, overkill to say the least, 135 on 4 star claas  8)

  5. i managed alright with the plough lamps, but wasnt easy  :-[ em neh we used to do barley but was working out cheaper and easier to buy of Thompsons and straws easy enough got hold of, so left us with less worrys  ;) although less driving and equipment  :( :'( :D

  6. cheers lads  ;)

    nice pictures ;) didnt think there was any of them foragers still plodding away :D

    they could put some machines to shame, there the only 2 i know of still working round here, the owners of these to have 3 more each in bit, for spares, and the second harvester we got is on its 3rd engine  :D :D ;D

  7. ran out of room in the clamp and ended up baling 3 acres, 46 bales on it, dont do much round bale silage, but is this alot per acre ???
