pistol pete Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Looks well, all the right colour of machinery!! Were abouts in Scotland is that? All the pictures were taken in the Arbroath area. all of my mates tractors are deeres and so are both ours. Netherton the local John Deere dealer have sold 35 10 plate deeres this year and there are about another 15 60 plates ready to go out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 some pictures of our new wrapper. it is another Mchale but the hi speed one it only needs 9 wraps to cover the bale istead of the 18 which means we can do 70 bales in an hour now. we do alot of contarcting with this so the speed helps. on the 6820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a father and his child at work together, how come she had to wear your wellies though, Pete?!! :laugh: Must be nice to get back in the seat now and again, eh? ye it was good to get a bit of tractor work again. she went mad when we forgot her JD boiler suit. the banks are sandy as it is near the coast even though it is a big machine because of the ground and the tines were in a far bit the 85 was dying going up the hill. Frankie always makes a good job he is the head tractor man even though he is the youngest of everybody that works there. how many tons does that hold then mate??? we always had silos for our storage as did many of the neighbours ,but now it all seems to be buildings cant remember how many tons sean but it will hold the 280 acres of our cereals most of which is weat. will post some pics of it tonight mate.

pistol pete Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nice pictures Pete. At least the 34 made up for all the green ;D well dont know about that but they are good machines, my mate has a small farm of 150 acres and in the summer they do contracting combining which he has 2 tx36. last year they wrere working with a new Newholland cant remember the size but his two were going faster and not putting so much over the back. so new isnt always best.
