Big A

its a 550 excel, good machine,

we also had the 7840 and spearhead working today

on the way home tonight i spotted another forum member discing rape stubble, heres a few pics

a couple of during shots

took some working pics today first the area before and after

its looking like it will have to be spalding for me, just realised that ive got work comitments the week of toytrac :'( mind you we could still be harvesting in october at this rate.

not yet, half the parks looking like a pond \

been thinking of making 1, just havent got round to it yet but its a definate future project.

would love to do both, but the distance is the killer for me. :'( are there more spares and conversions at spalding than there is at Toytrac?

Which of these events would be the best one to go to this year? i'm planning on taking my holidays in october, heading down south, was hoping to attend one of these events but not sure which one. Went to toytrac last year but heard that spalding was the big one, but by the sounds of things toytrac is going to be well represented by forum members and a bit bigger than last year \ Any advice on which one to go to?

finally the position for cutting down banks

now upright position, with the waterlogged unbaled hay in the background :'(

we got this new mower at the start of the verge cutting season this year, finally got round to taking some pics. first in transport position then in usual cutting position

i know the feeling TSA

your not wrong there Bill, was at turra show yesterday lashed down the whole afternoon. this morning some of the hay i baled for a neighbour last week is nearly floating.

spread out my hay again, realised it wasnt going to dry today so made plans to bale it and wrap it but as i got half the field rowed up the rain came on again, it now looks like a field spread with dung :'(

havent seen any new combines in our area yet, but there is rumors of a lexion 600 and a case 8010 coming in to the area.

probably a good idea bill

cheers folks its not been a good day so far,was hoping to bale my hay today but the rain has played havoc again. :'(

yesterday while baling hay to a neighbour, the baler picked up some netting wire that was lying in the bout its not good stuff to pick out of the rotor and pick up. > >

got home last night to find someone had nicked an old car i had sitting at the farm, it was only a car for going through the fields but it had some tools in the boot, the girlfriends house keys were in it, so now might have to change the locks and i was going to scrap it before i go to spalding or toytrac this year for some cash for models > > >

i tried a soft polishing pad on the dremal, it works as long as you dont press too hard or it digs into the plastic. But try it on a scrap piece first

raining up here in Aberdeenshire again, the afternoon was looking like promising hay weather but all hopes have faded again :'( :'(

spending most of the day turning hay only for it to start raining before we could get the baler going >
