MODELFARMER Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Best about it was I already had been around the hedge, had to do half run as farmer has 12m sprayer to match in with tramlines, then turned eith ease, opened the half of the drill again then wasn't just lined up perfect so i touched the sidebrake . . . then rang for a chain my fault really she'd have been ok otherwise. Brilliant pictures there ricky really like the night shots How much got left to drill or all up to date now? How getting on with 69? have maybe 50 - 60 acres to do to the country and 8 of our own, maybe have her on a muck spreader tomorrow then if it satys dry might get sowing on wed or thurs but i doubt it \ loving the 6930, so want to swap the 6420s now :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Great pictures you have made Ricky. Very nice landscape and you have also some lovely dogs. Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Nice pics Ricky, you have some very tidy machinery. 6420s looks good with those wide tyres Stone fork looks interesting, do you just lower it and reverse through a stony patch ?

Not as such, just find a stone and lift it usually cover the field in 15m stripes, or if stony 6m stripes, advantage is the dirt fallsout again where linkbox fil up and you waste soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 So Sorry I've not been keeping you's fully updated Here we go Tractor dumper pics are of us ripping up slurry store base, (sold it a few years back) and moving soil to fill the hole back into useable field again Spreading dung before ploughing tanker was clearing out water from the reception tank for the store before i ripped it out too. Bought the wee grass seeder, some job, 3m wide looks funny on the back of the 6420s ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
