markduck Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Been a while since i've posted in this topic, managed to get some pictures of my dad unloading some bales with the Terex, trailer is a 30ft and pulled by NH 8560. Pictures were taken with us phone, so pretty pleased with how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If those Terex are as good as their predecessor, a fine machine they should be. Didn't take long to whip them bales off by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 no there not tris if its like the tr250 the 250 they had at my work was useles it had only done 1400 hrs and you had to rev it flat out to lift any load , it couldnt do two operations at once eg lift and crowd bucket at the same time \ the matbro they had before was a much faster and more powerful machine from what i can remeber it was worse trying to load slurry into the spreaders with it as you want to do smooth movements when loading that stuff and that terex it was spilin everywhere as it would jerk the boom up and jerk the crowd then jerk the lift and soo on it you held the joystick to lift and crowd at the same time and she had a service just before i went to work there so oils levels etc were good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis086 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 what sort of trailer is that mark a converted lorry back i was thinking the same thing my uncle had a matbro she was very unrelyable only put up one or two loads each year of silage and something would go wrong also the pins wore very fast in them also but then again theirs people that swear by them \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 we had a matbro ts280 the rigid one and she went through a load of diffs but apart from that and being rolled about 7-8 times she was a good machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 what sort of trailer is that mark a converted lorry back i was thinking the same thing my uncle had a matbro she was very unrelyable only put up one or two loads each year of silage and something would go wrong also the pins wore very fast in them also but then again theirs people that swear by them \ Looks like a Merrick Loggin to me maybe. They convert lorry bodies into trailers near Bicestor- Probably wrong though. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 7930? think our contractor is planning one upgrade from the 7920, what you think of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markduck Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's actually a 7920. It is a brilliant machine, active seat and command armrest make it so comfortable to operate and work long hours in. He got it brand new from USA when i was working there.
