Stuarty C Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 fab pictures of your uncle contracting ...why did he give up ? that claas 75 is better than that 2205 new holland why he gave up, i dont actually know for sure \ think it may have been because milking became more of a full time job. the claas looks some yolk and from what ive heard she was, big header 220 i think and all the shoot extensions, only because the header was so big it wouldnt fold in behind the tractor :D yea we were keeping an eye out for any second hand claas 75's or 10x's for when the 2205 caves : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Lovely photo's of the old Inter there, Stuart. Also admire the 'through the flowers' shots of your raking set up. Does your rake have electrics? I think our gang will trade the Krone Swadro 761 in for one of those in the near future. We have electrics but won't have on whichever new one we get. A no need upgrade we think. On the raking talk I run ours at 375pto revs in 1000 giving the tractor 1400rpm and 4 - 5mph and that's plenty to clean up, leave a nice row and keep ahead of the Jag 840 or round baler.

denis086 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 that tankers fairly fresh looking we have a 12year old hispec paint work hasnt faded to that extent and it outside but it does suffer from rust around the splash plate even though i keep it clean usually give it a spuirt of water with a hose between loads if its windy but i never really fancied those redrock tankers because they seem very top heavy one thing to watch out for aswell is if you have a sprung drawbar have wheels pumped up well if you swing in a gap the drawbar starts bouncing and throws all the weight on one wheel if it isnt hard enough over the tank will go happen a fella near us slurry went everywhere had to lend another tank to wash off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty C Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Its just the sun thats faded ours. she hadnt been was in a few years depends whos driving, and how there driving. boy that put it on its side was probably rash, goin to hard for the road \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
