do you know what sort it is yet? norman erwins boy fones us every day lookin us to buy a de laval ha ha!

rich that 07 tm 155 aint been sitting about much anaway! :o

my da says the farming life puts too many ideas in my head ha ha!

1000 cows and an 80 point rotary parlour with lots of nice tractors/handlers/machinery/jeeps/quads/all the usual gaff ;)

keep her for the feeder and stick er on a trailer if anotha newholland blows up ha ha!

this year went not too bad we added a big m, 5 new trailers, krone rake, claas jaguar 900 and a few tractors(fendt 818 and a few newhollands). we cut 6500 acres with two harvesters going most of the time except on wet days :'( :'( and we baled roughly 11000 bales around the country. not a bad year but could have been better weather wise now wating for the sluury ban to lift and itl be hard at the s**t then full open at the grass ;)

i got 5 tms but 3 of them due a change so theres 3 t7060 comin to draw with i have 5 kanes and 4 marstons so thats the trailers sorted ha ha! o and im thinkin on 1 or 2 of martins new herrons aswell :P

mint!!!! ;) ;)

thers not many farmers now in n.ireland anaway that tackle the job of cutting their own silage, but some people say that in 10 years time itl be like it was 30 years ago, farmers will cut their own silage because the slurry ban gives contractors very limited income over the winter and with a harvester or whatever sitting needing paid off it aint that good. the price of red diesel wont help either plus the fact that they cant get drivers, or ones that can drive anaway!

i have 5 of martins kanes, an fx58 and 10 foot header that i converted, an fx 60 with 20 foot header, a jaguar 900 a john deere 7500 and a big x, ill manage myself ha ha! unless sum f****r robs my shed when im nt lookin ha ha! HAMILTON CONTRACTS all the way ;)

im a newholland fan myself, i have 3. but they give trouble iom not afraid to admit that, this year we had to put a new sle gearbox in a 1998 7840 and a new gear in a ts 110! not cheap i cant understand how contracts can make money the price of diesel and parts is unreal!

ay thats an easter project get er ready just before A CONTRACTOR ( no one in particular ha ha!) comes to put in the silage ha ha!

ive got about 45 so far!

they are made from 1mm plastic!

exatly like that ;) they drove theirs up the walls of an earth banked silage pit

ive a lot more beams to put up and then the round pipes up the feed passage, also a milking parlour and a few other fine details. what yous think???

one of 160 cubicles

open...

the gates- one at each side to let the cows out to the grass in the summer

again.....

right here we go ive got a wee bit more done since last update

my mate used to have a 3130 and what ever way the wheels sat forward on the front he was able to drive the tractor up the walls of the silage pit! very nice conversion a hedge cutter would look well

they look the biz ;) one for the 8340 and one for the ts115

they look well ;)
