Right new update. I'm on half term this week but am only here til thursday then we are off to devon for the week  ;)

My first job was to clean everything up and put it away for the winter

Firstly the roll nice and clean

Then I had to do the drill and the powerharrow hadnt been cleaned for a few years so had to get all this dust off

I picked the drill up with the 6510 but as you can see this didnt leave alot of wieght on the front and the back tyres were fairly bulged :D

not much of a gap between tractor and spray which suggests why its on an A frame

the control box. Dad saw this and said as long as i know how to turn each section on and off, turn the sprayer off completely and adjust pressure I don't care. (it takes him a little while to adjust to new technology  :D )

Take a picture of the A frame for me, cause if they have given you the old design i'll advise you to return and demand the new design, our sprayer the same but with only 15 m booms landed on her back down the road at 30mph!! Not good, good job only roundup in it. fish in the river didn;t seem to mind ha ha!

Thanks lads

@Denis086- yeah dad ain't too bad once he gets used to things. the new tractor was a nightmare with all the buttons and switches to use  :D

@deere-est- Should of seen me overalls and face when i had finished. looked like i had been crapped on by a cow  :D  Its an 18m machine as we have some small fields and also we have a Kuhn aero 2218 so we'd have to change that if we had a 24m machine  ;)

@Murray- yeah its looks like a fair tool. She looks well built and should do us for a few years.

@modelfarmer- OK I will do when we take ti off cause i cant get to it at the mo. its looks OK though but thanks for letting us know  ;)

So here goes, getting oats out of bins the other week only 2 pictures to start with  ;)

Firstly the 6510 on the sucker blower- does sound good running it i must admit

ive used one of those sucker/blowers once, thankfully i never had to use it again as i was only covering for someone. The vents on the pipe had been left open and a load of rats got in, they managed to jam the feed rollers, not a very nice job pulling dead rats out!!!!!!!!
