Deere-est Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Pete and Bas, pair of very funny men!! :D Mark, forgive me if I am asking an already answered question, does Hattie have front suspension? Shame them pics are so small, seeing as you are one of the Forum's Papparazzi Another twelve months and maybe you'll have it sorted! Anyway, glad you got Hattie on some farm work, glad you anjpyed it too. Proper stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks Tris... yes she does have front suspension... and oh what a godsend that is too on trailer work Sorry about the pics.. what a let down :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I was going to say if it didn't have front suspension, a loader with compensators makes quite a difference to rigid tractors. We notice it on the 8360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Poser! So she performed well with a good load on then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Poser! So she performed well with a good load on then? Outstanding Tris... Me and two JD6820's () ... one hill was straight after a tight 90 degree turn... almost a standing start... I could get 25k at the top loaded... the JD's struggled to 11k.. one was struggling at 8k :o - in fairness I think they were rated 10hp less then me.. I was hauling over 14t regularly... 14.93t was my record... and I got that home whithout spilling a single grain (can't say that for some of my loads mind you) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Fought well for the red corner then Anything else lined up yet, bit of rolling maybe, or some bale carting? Must make a nice change, you can go back to the daily grind with a refreshed mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
