thanks lads. well to be honest I usually just run triple mower with swaff grouper but we have the rake for when its get wet but the main reason they are not in the picture is because thats all the tractors i have in the fleet :D yeah I put silver on the miaze header so it looks used. lastly it aint tipped over yet light land and its been lifting bags with wheat in them but it would be a very brown trouser moment for the operator :D

Oh and a picture from miaze silaging the other day. the fendt and the jag flying at it :D

was your mowers hard to do  ;)

well not terribly. firstly cut the front 1 off and fit a siku bracket. then cut the other 2 off the back and fix them to the frame via some sort of hinge so they fold upwards. the swaff grouper are more difficult as they are scratch builds

Really busy drilling now. had to get 2 drills in. firstly though some pictures of the modified vaderstad

firstly a couple of the rollover hopper cover. this is made out of a old rubber glove

then the markers. My excuse for the pre emergence markers not looking like the real ones is that the dealer wanted too much to put them on the drill  ;D

then the lifting mecahanism. It dosen't look like the real thing but was the most practical way for me to use it

then the spool valve pipes. these are just old headphone wires

Then lastly the Valtra on the front. Its been opened up to 230hp so it can pull it.  ;)  note the middle marker as there isnt one on the bonnet

So winter has arrived ofr C & C so a round up of the jobs we are doing at the moment.

Firstly we are applying FYM during the winter so we can have a good run at the slurry when the season starts.

then we are spreading plenty of muck with the samson and rolland so they are getting covered in it  :D

Then the 7530 is doing some winter spraying using the new joskin tanker as a bowser

then I decided to sell some wheat so we have started to get some out of the grain store ( need to get rid of some to put some machinery in the dry  :D )

Well I'm afraid you won't be seeing anymore of C&C as they are no more, they got into some financial trouble (due to buying too much kit) and have had all the machinery repossessed ( put back in its boxes or on a shelf in my room). thanks for all the comments  ;)
