Kiwi6920

Wish we had 1/2 the sun shine in them pictures.

That sunshine parted ways around 730 just when the rain started to apper

Was just thinking how nice it was to be reminded of summer

Summer ...... summer...... what is that its still spring if you go by the weather we are having over here. it hasnt stoped rainin g since we stared covering the stack :'(

hey Nick nice pics of Lauries outfit

I've actually done a few hours on that 7810, its a beast. I used to work for Harris Bros at Sanson and we borrowed it to do some giant discing. Its great to drive, but our big discs managed to make it grunt on the hills  Nightmare of a machine to drive across the Bulls bridge might i add!!!

I used to mow for him using a JD 6810 and JD trailed mower conditioner ( Harris Bros do most of his mowing ). That was a laugh, some days I had the chopper right up my ass as i was mowing 

Yes i have to agree that the pics do look good. but it does help when the gear looks good in the padock tho. that 7810 has a tad over 3000hrs now. they droped the backend on our silage stack last year  ;D

Looks like dean has just got a new 6*20jd with mowco in his yard. hes slowly going green ive noticed. there ant as much blue as there was witch is a shame

why are the front wheels turned wrong way round on the 6600? i heard before its to reduce wear when doing a lot of road work is this true?

CAnt say i had noticed that. I was stearing at it 4 30 min working in the padock and i didnt even notice  .

I guess they might be like that to reduce the wear as 4 wd isnt used much with rakes and tedders. Ill try and do some digging to find out why they are

thats a real nice clean one there, any idea what year it is?

Going from a nz book i have here im going to say around 87. (thats when the first one came in)

This guy keeps his gear in top shape. very very presantable. His 4455 just went past And that looked new.

Here you go dualpower. They are the only pics i have of her atm but i will get some more in time

Hope you like them

and here is another of the 890.

Here is the 890

Here is the 7810 (i love this beast )

I have more pics of each machine so if you want to see more just let me know and ill put them up

The mowing trators were our caseMX90c with potinger305 and a JD6420se with 8disc krone

Hey guys had a huge day yesterday. (330am till9pm) mowed till 3pm then started to cover the stack. Here are a few pics of the gear that was the contarctors.  (i didnt get pics of my mowing tractor or the other one) We had a JD3350 with krone swadro, JD6600 and a 6 or 8M Khun tedder a class 890 and a JD7810

Here is the 6600

Heres the 3350

wat mower did they have or didnt you see it 

I couldnt tell you unforntly thats all i got to see :'( when i went past the next day the gear was gone and all that was left was a nice stack covred and all. From my info sources the guy runs all jd appart fom his rakes. they are krone. so im thinking it was either a jd mover or a krone. Im going to hunt him down on the weekend

nice pics Kiwi, next time just ignore her :D

  Dont worry i will next time. and ill tak the keys 2. last time i did tht she drove off

very close those rows are 

It had only just been mowed. the rake hadent been in yet

I think DB used Ransomes bodies though didn't they? Pretty sure the ones our local contractor used were, back in the mid '70's.

Im not sure ill try and find out. i think you could be right.

The boys in the vtc over here love ried and gray poulghs. I myself have a 2f David brown and it dose a nice job. I have only herd good about ried and gray , vogel and noot , Ransomese any of those 3 should do. I pulled a 3f Clough with my 25 c david brown the other day. was good till i found a wet spot. all you need is good traction and you are of like a rocket.

I saw this beast sitting in a padock. the mrs wouldnt let me jump the fence to get beta pics :'( These were shot form around the 500m mark

A slightly closer one

And the stack tractor

Hopee you like

;D looking good there Datman ( where did you get the jags?) thats a nice slection of forage gear there.

if anyone wants a tractor doing with the removable weights i will make them for ?19 plus postage (pm me)

i think i really finishes the tractor off by been able to take the weights on and off, im on with making a richie front press to fit on the frame, watch this space

Does that inclued buying the tractor?

Looking Super there. I can see im going to have to do the same. Thanks for the super pics

Simple but it is really effective !

I'll have to try that myself....except I haven't got such a good collection to house !

Thanks John. Hey we all have to start some where. I started with a siku 6920s 2or 3 years ago.

:o That will be one hell of a model you had better make a production run of that beast

  Nice hot and sunny. the mrs is in her bakini  ;D

I have a 1980-81 catalouge and it dosent have any farm stuff in. The next one i have is the 1991-92 one and that has alot of nice farm stuf in so im thinking about 58 they started to make farm stuff. i could be wrong. hope this helps you a bit

Has any one tried emailing siku and asking them what his name is ?

It looks o me like the mf135 is the winner. They are realy popular toy or real 

good stuff nice collection mate 

Where do you buy your models down there? I get most of mine from Jeremy at model barn up here.

Thanks its 3 years work and thats just my 32 stuff i have equaly as much in 16 and 87 (combined)

Lately i have been getting them from a tractor dealer in town but things are cahnging next year tho.

And here is the gear for the tractors

Here are the tractors to go in the sheds i think im going to need atleast 3 sheds now

Class jag and 2 trucks carting off grass silage in front of a JD6620 with 4 furrow KV up his bum was a Fiat F130 with 3mtr kuhn power harrow and trailing press all working in the same paddock.Today we had the 2 tillage tractors working along with a fendt 818TMS and momsem planter. 8)

That is what you call a crowded padock. That would have made a super pic there Oli
