Lord Ferguson Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Marky back to your uumm Device? If you took out the cube bit on it between the big wide bit at top and the bag holder at bottom would that benefit any? Would make it lower for you \ Also if required you could put a sheet of metal on the open side just flat so it still worked on forklift, would stop any soil spilling out if it took a second or so to filter down through spout? Blake you are absolutely correct buddy - the sides are not needed and I do intend to plas them off at some point and glue the bottom back on to the top - the side could well be enclosed but we leave it like that as there is really no need to block it in - when you fill the hopper you can tip it down the slope if you are careful and avoid covering the forklift operator in the process. But.... as above... you are bang on with both suggestions, both I have considered before and one of them I do intend to do - watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 May have been said but a quick thought. ... How about your engineer bloke fitting some hoops under the hopper to hang a bag from and leave a euro pallet underneath. That way the hopper stays static and the forklift is free to move and stack, leaving the euro pallet by the hopper ready for lumpy to push underneath when he erm ... . hangs your sack . .. .. erm so to speak. . ..

MJB1 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 been doing fine sp far mark , carry on as you are tris we've had those buckets at the mills for years , but without the hooks. their purpose was if you were loading loose into seperate compartments , but it was too much for the forklift drivers to have to keep getting off the seat to change buckets so now they just sit in the yard rusting , what a waste , i think i know of two of them , but most mills have had a surge on a clean up so may have been scrapped , , it would work well , as long as the soil was dry, the gravel would be fine though , if yer interested mark i could see if they're for sale , if they still have them , MVF wont be useing them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Missed this post... yes please Marcus... if they are cheap enough then I know someone who may want one. Just a quick update to Hatties 'blog' ... 1600 hours service performed last week (at about 1610 hours)... still no major faults - few niggles but nothing worth talking about. Engine is not burning a spot of oil - which I thinki is good given the length of time she sits ticking over on the baler.. especially lately. I took her grass cutting today, on the Twose flail - always puts a smile on my face does that .. sadly it was for a mate.. favour for a favour - so no till ringing on that one :'( This week is all mapped out as well.. Tomorrow going to the tip with my general waste in the dumper... then back to load a lorry with baled cardboard Thursday - baling two farms in St.Ives and Sawtry Friday - baling my local farmers stuff... and a local garden centre I do Saturday - going to fetch topsoil She seems to be used daily these days - I really don't know what I'd do without her now... roll on the launch of the 5600.. I just hope they are 50k equipped ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Marky can you not chip your 5480 out to 50K? Or will it not work with Dyna 4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well I think she's got plenty of power.... But sadly she would need 2 more gears to get to 50k I reckon Dyna 6 next for me I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 And then it would be ofcourse the new serie´s that MF are going to launch But i think you should buy a new one and keep Hattie also :P or even better stall Hattie over here and say she is stolen she is always welcome here mate ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 I pulled my low loader in the local 'Over Carnival' today... just one picture to share as we ran out of time to make any more Mavis was also in it... but I didn't take any pictures so was one of my 7.5t trucks in actual fact... again no pictures Needless to say... Hattie won ... much to the annoyance of some of the others.. village life gets a little competitive at times :D :D ... We won last year as well... I'm thinking about having it written on the bonnet :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
