Deeredriver

I stole these pictures off another site this prototype is working somewhere in my state Bit of an ugly bugger if you ask me

hey marky if you went to Anglesea and took the A55 Chester southerly by pass you would have went right past the back of our old house where i grew up and right past a fair few acres that i used to work on I used to live next door but 1 to the Chester southerly caravan site small world ehh mate

thanks Marcus yea shes a bit of a beast it sounds well Well what it will be doing actually not too much to be honest I Did get some land leased 25 acres of arable ground so one of its jobs will be on a 30ft field cultivator ( see how she likes that ) hehehe Also i have about 80 acres of grass for hay so i will use her on a 16ft mower conditioner raking the hay and also on a round baler All these machines are owned by my boss who said i could use anytime So in return i will him use her on a 13'' 90ft grain auger at harvest time to fill the grain bins

Wow i bet that was a sight too see wouldn't see that many times in a life time I think you've got a hell of an idea here Marky could be a nice little earner Although i have no idea to what machine is best i have drove a bobcat one a few times but it was years ago im sure theres alot more options around nowadays good luck mate and try and keep it out of sight of the pikeys

Actually mate it looks bloody tiny compared to the deeres at work even the 4450 they were all shocked when i told them it was 145 horse it sound well though i gotta tell you that

She is 145 hp It has a steyr powermatic transmision 36f 12r gears with a creeper box top speed forward in creeper is 2.2mph and lowest gear in creeper is 0.22mph dont think ill be using creeper very much In the first pic is the gear stick the yellow button is the powermatic ( dualpower) just a 2 speed splitter and the second pic is the handbrake to the left and the creeper gear lever to the right She is in the process of being cleaned up big time now firstly i wanted to get the hydraulics working please enjoy the pics and i will try and answer any questions you may have thanks for looking Nick

Back end i am just replacing the rear work lamps with oval ones like on the new john deeres i have both sets of tail lights on order and new decals all around

A little while back i put up a post about i was thinking about buying this tractor It is a Deutz Allis 7145 its the US version of a DX 7.10 The tractor had a problem with the 3 point not lifting so the price was reduced by $4500 i took a gamble and bought the tractor hoping that it wouldn't cost more than the $4500 to fix well after having it in the workshop at work and tinkering with it in my spare time I took the control valve apart cleaned it all up polished the valve and honed the casting that it sits in re drilled some orifices out to 28 thousands of an inch( that drill bit is tiny) and put it all back together the 3 point still didn't work so i was depressed I came up with the idea to take off the cover plate off the hydraulics and run the tractor to see if i had missed a broken linkage or something Come to find out that there was a loose coupling on a small hydraulic line that tells the hydraulics to stop lifting the arms when they reach the top of there lift I tightened up this coupling and hey presto the arms work as good as new man im over the moon now all it cost was $30 for the tiny drill bits ( that to be honest i really didn't need) if i had ran the tractor with the top plate off in the first place it would have been a 5 min fix

Tidy It looks massive in the pics

Wow the pics of your layout look smart well done that lad keep up the good work i love the pic looking up the yard with the wagon turning in

The new combine getting delivered And my old machine leaving

I started cutting last sat first field was 198 acres wheat was jager 11% moisture with a test weight of 63lb/ bushel combine is a john deere 9770 sts just got it 2 days before i started cutting deere 4760 tractor on a kinze chaser bin and artics carting the grain to the grain silo in town

Dont think so mate think thats a kinze 1050 his is a 850 very good pictures i better get after my missus to get more pics as soon as i fire up again might give it a go this afternoon see how wet the grain is anyway

AHH ok i know where you are been through there tons of times even hauled grain to hoxie feeders lots of times too Im in Alma Nebraska so not too far from you at all mate

Most direct drill have packer wheels so really there is no need to roll

Where you from Stewart Im in south central Nebraska were cutting now too

Im probably going out to combine smore more wheat Got too try out the new combine yesterday :D :D :D

Wheat is just about ready Tris maybe by the weekend or by early next week should be able to give it a try The combine is a 9770STS Deere is second hand but only done 200 hrs but its like brand new

getting told this morning to take all our stuff out of the combine its going down the road and a new one coming to replace it

4 grand the tires are worth that :o :o i miss England sometimes but more the people to be honest Theres way more to offer a person here cost of living is cheap and theres plenty of foot holds up in the world if your willing to work hard This year i leased some land of my own 25 acres of arable and 80 acres of grass thats why im looking at buying a tractor where abouts in essex are you i did the harvest season in Harlow about 13 years ago

It was a big change for me to get used to all the open space over here i can tell you I am from chester Uk really our bigest field was only 20 acres there the bigest one id ever been on was 50 that changed when i came here ;) my boss bought that machine at an auction for $2700its a 1986 year so what its 22 years old we will just run it until it dies or he comes home with another bargain we have another machine just like this one too but its pretty well retired just does a bit every now and then My boss's brother does contract spraying he has 2 more just like this also i did about 1200 acres of contracting this spring with mine helping him out your machine looks tidy for it age i would never thought it was 10 years old its done alot of acres too

Mines an old one i have 75ft booms but you can get them up to 90 ft now they ride pretty nice really even though are fields are rough as hell and we have some steep banks i have to slow down a lot too I have had it on 2 wheels even on 1 wheel on the odd occasion its a v8 cat diesel turbo engine and a 10 speed crash box wagon transmission kind of crude but it does the job i have 200 more acres to spray as soon as i can get it done this week that will put me up to about 7000 acres so far this spring here is a a picture of it and my bowser 6400 gallons of fertilizer and 4 IBC's of chemical for maize ground ops i forgot the you tube link theres another uploading now

Foam bout markers but i do have gps guidance and mapping i run a 3 wheel Terra gator spraying at 15mph got a vid on you tube if your interested??

Nice 1 mate love all the pictures makes it a lot nicer to run on tramlines ehh i do all our spraying over here no tramlines hope you dont get hay fever when your in the rape fields

Well any Agco can get parts and theres more and more places on the net now im finding i know of 2 places that break deutz for parts too
