Mattias71 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Love the buildings Mattias, it is nice to see them on a big screen now It looks as if you can do most jobs without getting anyone else in - driving, carpentry, demolition, engineering. . . A very talented chap! Cheers Tris! I like to work with my hands (hand) and create things, and it works pretty well after all. Only has had need for help with the hay, and a few weeks under the summer. Think Im stubborn as a mule, thats the reason why it works.... Thats at least what im told by my better half...

Mattias71 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I was mowing for a neighbour in late september, and had company from a young fox in the field. The tractor is my neighbours Valtra 6850. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What stunning scenery when the snow settles.

Were abouts are you The little trailers carrying the hay that you called monkey cages, are they self loading or how do they work? Great set up you have, keep the pictures coming Robert Cheers Robert! We lives about 170 kilometers north from Stockholm, Sweden. It's alot of work when you start from absolutely nothing, and alot of costs... Those "monkey cages" are hand loaded It's a bit easier if there is a thrower on the baler, but you can put more bales on the trailer if you load by hand. most excellent Matthias, very nice pictures and you get good enough weather to make hay !!!! great stuff, love to see more when you can Cheers mate! We had really nice weather whole July, so it was a great year for hay! Realy nice pictures,were in Sweden are you? Thanks! We lives just in the middle of Uppsala and Gävle, about 117 kilometers north stockholm. What stunning scenery when the snow settles. The sun shining through the greenhouse makes a nice photo too, was that you or Monica taking the photos? That snow blower blows the snow quite far! Keep on showing us what you are doing Mattias, this is a lovely thread. :) Cheers Tris! It is my lovley Monica behind the camera If the snow is compact enough I can blow it nearly 70 meters. And yes, ALL windows in the greenhouse are still intact. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias71 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I never bought that '69 5000 after all. The engine wasn't in that good shape, so I bought myself a '68 5000! Only 4000 hours on the clock. The lights need some attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
