Deere-est Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I used to use one of these noisy, dusty god-for-saken things!!! Looks nice and sends me back 13 years, Graham!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 they was not the best thing to move corn was they tris to much shoveling involved ,lorrys sit under them for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I remember using it for emptying barley from a flooded grain store, oats from bins, dropping beans back onto the straw walkers of the TX32 to clean a second time for seed. .... Versatile but like you say, not the best!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 got it marcus ,where is the farm deepest wales not that deep mate , it's in monmouthshire , not sure what he mixes though , it's an organic set up, we only really deliver organic meal to both his farms , i dont think he feeds in the parlour , but have seen others deliver dairy cake to another silo , & again taken via auger to his mixer then all mixed & augered into a diet feeder /mixerwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 we have one of these, ours is a trailed version though, we don,t mind it, not as quick as the auger but we can load a lorry with it in just over an hour provided we don't have to shovel any out the bottom of the bin. Looks good though MJB1, was it simple to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
