jordantaylor Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Look at that sky over the Massey - brilliant couple of photos cheers tris, i like to take the machinery photos and see what they look like edited as it can really bring out the machine and you can give it a really nice background to sit on to really make the machine stand outand it has worked here, i have a few more i will upload of other machinery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordantaylor Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 ah well onto other news, still no seed potatoes arriving but we are having them in bulk this year not boxes and so have got conveyor belts fitted to the back of 2x14 ton trailers for loading the planters. the contractor has had some lime spreading done on his dairy farm (fendt 718 with KRM spreader) and has purchased a new holland TM140 04 plate and a new JCB 540.1 60plate telescopic loader, ill get pics of the loader when i can.

jordantaylor Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 started the potato plant on tuesday and weve already had some mishaps one of the trailer got tipped to farm and the rear mounted conveyor bent all the back of the planter one of the destoning boys drove into the back of one of the liquid fert tanks and broke the pump and didnt tell anybody so weve also lost some liquid fert aswell as having to buy a new pump and spend time repairing that aswell. other than that there is plenty of kit down here and we are all having a good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
