A wonderful new item here from Artisan.

It is a folding corn head. I am considering ordering one even with the expensive price.

Seeing these more and more on combines and foragers here and they look nice.

Maybe if someone is ordering from them soon they can PM me and tell me so I could add it to your ordr

maybe wheels on the back would help. Like the big combine headers in the USA have. Or duals on the forager maybe?

Not only wheels on the back mate.. ned wheels for the road... legally the axle loads are too high.. hence the 12 row comes with a trailer..

Big old header... it is an interesting design, works with a chain pulling the stems over a stationary knife...

Great pics, thanks mark!

ill be see n plenty of it from thursday night on till late saturday night.hopefully it ll be as good if not better than the last october show..keep a wee eye on thistopic as there ll be plenty of photos to shows what its all about..

For our non text talking friends:

I will be seeing plenty of it from thursday night on till late saturday night.hopefully it will be as good if not better than the last october show..keep a small eye on thistopic as there will be plenty of photos to show what it's all about..

Aaaanother bloomin Massey model.... And anotherrrrr bloomin black thing....

I appreciate they are nice bit how many specials are there now?? Surely eventually we will end up with as many special editions as normal?

Well as expected I probably can't make it this year again. This would be the only weekend I have free in November.

I am away with workthe first two then back and the last weekend snowboarding.

If I can get there I wil tuck tris into a wee match box and borrow his bed.

Seriously though if I can get there it will be booked that week so I will sleep on someones floor.

Awesome!!!

Love it.

bit sparse for me i'm afraid , just a siku MF 8680 from[glow=red,2,300] barry & steve [/glow]      & an ftf highway ford which was a raffle prize 

the new ftf coupe 

Lying in bed in Germany..... Not going to see you there......  :'( :'(

I agree with tris.

I would only buy from Dan or equal.

nice topic rich    looks like a good place to work !

  ha technicians , couldn't find their @r$£ with both hands , , a technician plugs thing in to find out whats going on then fit new parts, mechanics on the other hand have a skill of knowing what the problems are & actually repairing the fault  proper.

being a technician is a bit like being a jazz musician, it's just an excuse for people who cant actually use the proper tools to do a decent job of it

Each to their own opinion I guess. Not my opinion but there you go. Also love too see you say that to some of the guys I know.

fantastic picture rich!!

Howerer mate... make sure you grow into a youn TECHNICIAN, not a mechanic or fitter.... there is more to your hob that people think. The tractor technicians of today are as skilled as a car technician or lorry technician but with worse customers!!

Crossing my fingers. But I need to book a room and got a vehicle sorted.....

oh well, john deere at langar, well that sounds great, i went there with my uncle on a training day as he was training some techniitians on crop sprayers, its a great place

i will be seeing you in the future then when i need my john deere servicing

Who's your uncle Jordan?

Not even close mate, consists of pma wheels and main axel, britains ford 5000 and JD 4020 bits and some scratchbuilt bits

A high crop ford if ever there was one???

Well no but wjlhen you take into account that they would have some already it would be ok. Plus you don't need to buy UH models to play with.

What I mean is that the level of happiness these would bring would be vast. Also when you think of a hobby these are relatively cheap and better value than a Wii or a Playstation.

Fantastic topic Rich. I will watch with imterest to see how your job and career grows.

Don't forget some pics of out on the road if you get there.

Just remember to be positive and work hard and you will go far!

Wow

If i had those when I was a carpet farmer I would have been more than happy

I think the younger generationare lucky to have these!!

don't forget to wash the stuff growing on the backs of your hands and knuckles then porkie 

You mean the bits with the gravel in mate??

Ha ha ha you make me laugh Mary!!

If you can pay for it and find one for measuements then BOR would be a good man to ask.

I bet murray is smiling

Excellent work as usual... any further with the topper?

what is the restricting factor on speed Gav .. what I mean is... does something slip, block up, break etc. ... what I THINK I mean is... what's the weakest part of the lifting system

As far as my LIMITED potato knowledge goes mate i think it is the anmount of soil going up the web at the front.... if you go too fast then the soil gets carried over the top.... maybe I am wrong.... not sure.....

I think it is something like that..... 

It's great.... but it's not "dirty" great like normal............. 

Well done mate!!

By the way, have you managed that extra two arm attachment operation yet? 

Ha Ha.... Well done John!!

Hu hum....... well if you are building one for tris then another one would be great... you know... if you have time sir

What?!! My Ears are Burning!     

What have I got to do now???  \   

Well.... fit tandem axles to the big balers please Snake..... then re build the chamer to make the other size bales
