Tractorman810 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 thats a good idea mate, drop it of at the farm, then pick it up once full?? save you travling with the baler then?? as for that plate, sure you said before, but why can't it be put on a tractor then?? you pay road tax and insurance afterall, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooo sweat Ben... I'll drive it in... you can reverse it out thats a good idea mate, drop it of at the farm, then pick it up once full?? save you travling with the baler then?? as for that plate, sure you said before, but why can't it be put on a tractor then?? you pay road tax and insurance afterall, it needs to have an MOT so the paperwork said \ .. might just get my mate to MOT it and see what happens actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 why would it need a mot then mate?? if thats the case your bailleys and mcauley would need to have one to surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 why would it need a mot then mate?? if thats the case your bailleys and mcauley would need to have one to surely? Sorry mate... I didn't expl;ain that very well... the numberplate paperwork said that the plate could only be transferred (applied) to a vehicle that needed an annual MOT (obviously not for the first 3 years in the case of a new car).. but as a tractor never requires an MOT thjen it can't accept a plate like this \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 sorry with you now, i didnt read the reply that well to be honest misunderstood you mm mot a tractor, then add the plate, wonder if that would work??? would the local garage know what to test on it even ;D might be worth a check with the dvla mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well.. Happy birthday Hattie... one year old today and 770 hours on the clock already... and ALL done by my own fair hand. Mechanical problems to date - none Niggly faults - visio roof latches replaced twice now... side window handle fell out going along the road and was ran over by a Hoooooge truck before I could get to it... auxiliary belt jumped off once for no real reason and it's not happened again since... wiper switch needs replacing and the intermittent doesn't always click in and make contact Fuel economy superb - better than my previous model (Tier II 5445) Power - absolutely superb - engine not burnt a single drop of oil since I've had her !! - but she get treated properly.. allowed to warm up and rev down before turning off and on Gearbox - blooming wonderful Suspension - could not live without it now I've had it Loader - superb too... softride is wonderful, visibility is great - used a great deal and showing no signs of wear as yet - greased regularly though of course Hydraulics - brilliant - 110ltr flow makes the loader like a rocket ship - lift lower for things like grass cutting is also lightening fast which speeds up turns Maneuverability - stunning, 4 cylinders makes her short and very nice around the yard The bad points - well... there are NONE in my eyes - I will certainly be keeping Hattie for a good few years to come I reckon.. unless, of course I am tempted by a new 5680 when it comes out :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 A good advert for MF then mate, looking forward to seeing how our demo goes in September as I keep hearing good things. Personally I'd find someone who would be willing to let you hang a two leg subsoiler or cultivator on Hattie for a day or two over the next couple of months though, give her a bit of real hard work, will make a difference to her in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 'other' post above.... right....
