Deere-est Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Sore neck? Is it a rear blade you have got then? Couple of days like that wouldn't go amiss here! Still, 10hr days is good this time of year for here. Look forward to the other photos, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 looking marvelous.. that is some silage work if you need to spend 5 days on it So what's the rig you are using? (you mentioned some JD's, but where are they and what are they doing?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Second photo, Nick * Even the old Deere looks great out in the sunshine. Nice photos all round, Nick but it is the second one which catches this little Hobbits eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 @Deer-est : New Zealands hill country is beautiful and if you ever have the chance.. visit it driving from coast to coast in 4-6 hours from sandy beaches, through hills and woods, snowy mountains and rocky coastlines again is a sight to behold @Nick : that first Claas Cougar shot is fantastic.. like it comes straight out of the brochure thanks for adding more photo's.. stacking is quite important, if not done right, it might result in rotting etc.. We use wheelloaders for the stacking though , to distribute the loads over the stack and you wont have to turn around in the cab all the time why do you use tractors for stacking? has it to do with the distances you have to travel? or better experiences with...?

Kiwi6920 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks guys, @ will, we have allways used tractors, my old boy did it with bulldozers, we now have started to use diggers and wheel loaders, for years wheel loaders have just been for dirt work, they are starting to take over stacks but a tractor is alot more stable, and any one can handle a tractor on a stack over a wheel loader Ohh yeah will, that mower is a Jaguar, not a cougar, they have 5 mowers ;) @mjb the sun has gone south for the week im sad to say, so no i cant send it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
