MDFord Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 hmmmm... That looks a bit like Dr Who's Tardis on its side you're carrying there Mark, You aren't going to be the Dr's next "companion" are you Nice little mower you have picked up by the way. I like the way the manufacturers tried to make the early ones look like the full size tractors - I think most of them did that years ago. Good provenance the little machine has too !

Funnily enough Mrs F looks like some of the characters from Dr Who when she's not got her makeup on..... and when she has as well actually Thanks for the compliments about Mow... she is a nice little tractor and, like you, I do like the fact that they made them look like their bigger cousins... I just need an MF1150 now as well Sean... borrowed the farmers JCBLoadall to load it up and take it off... and 2.2t it made her bark a little bit I can tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Got a demo of this next Wednesday ... Hoping it will do a good job on my topsoil http://globalplant.co.uk/pages/Machines/PVG120.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 i always thought your topsoil looked a really nice fine one anyway mate?? lot better than we can get down here even once its been "screened" so the adds say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 It's not too bad mate.. But I've discovered a nice line in mixing up lawn dressing... Good way to add value to my soil business... But it has to be lump free for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Fine enough to sell in bulk to mandy,who will then put it in 500g bags and on sell to layout makers across the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 :D .. Brilliant idea Ol... I'll see how fine the sieves can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well.. call me Mr Predictable... but I had a demo of a soil screener today... and you can guess what happened :'( .. anyway.... I am well pleased with my latest purchase which I think should add some decent value to the copious quantities of topsoil I still have left to sell (and always will have at the current rate of sales versus heap creation).. It's basically a shaker shoe (engine driven) which you can cart around with the bucket (on site of course.. requires a trailer on the road obviously) .. The machine currently runs a 20mmx90mm screen which I'll be changing for a 20mm square.. but even with the current configuration it does a well handy job. Only problem is... it's made by the Americans... I made him promise me that old Pops didn't have anything to do with it before I bought it I'm looking to add value to my products by mixing up lawn dressings (with sharp sand).. as well as making various kinds of mulch mixes.. I SHOULD be able to sell lots more (at a considerably higher monetary value) to garden centres and the likes now with this new 'uber-fine product' Anyway.... no rela pictures of it in opearation as yet as I was simply too excited to take any pictures with it running... but you can see here how easy it is to haul around and right in the distance... a trailer load of completed work... graded to perfection and looking good enough to eat :of Any questions fire away... anyone wishing to place an order please do so after the tone............................ bleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
