Eurodeere Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Packing small bales in a loft has to be up there as the worst job, especially on a hot day, heat from the roof, no air and lots of dust, what happy days! Even better if it's Barley and the awns irritate the skin. As already stated the elevator has to be kept clear and any idea of being able to throw the excess bales off the elevator onto the ground must remain a dream.

toyboy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Talking of swedes and or neeps I know a chap who put the following on the back of his new Scania Built by a Swede ...driven by a neep The owner also farms but his driver was not to happy being referred to as a neep ( fool ) ;) that will be "Nicol o Skene" then bill, that scanny is a real tidy motor seen them in about some of the sites we are on, never fails to amaze me how clean it is, hail rain or shine,considering some of the places he has to go into to pick up plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Talking about people who shift plant about, obviously I come into contact with them on an almost daily basis, but I have only seen this once, the chap was oiling the hardwood board on the deck, after he had tipped, only a dumper and summer time so no mud but the truck was a couple of years old and was totly mint, he must have kittens when he has to move a 20 ton 360.

Murray Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hope you had a mask on for the welding fumes? nope i did not. maybe i should of, the fill hatch was open as was the nozzle where the slurry comes out, plenty fresh air about, very awkward to weld in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
