Tommy Gough Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 im not that silly mate nahh i was on about deere tractors with a jcb teleporter, you see we had a load of demos back in the summer because our mf 6270 was past its best but he wouldn't get a john deere on demo for some reason Ah, fair enough. Maybe it was just me not interpreting what you said properly. Maybe he didnt get a Deere because Massey are soooooo good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Gough Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Dam. Maybe he just... er... nope, cant think of a reason. But i could be biased as i haven't driven a Claas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Gough Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What sort of Class is it and what gearbox is fitted? the only difference i've heard is that the Claas Hexashift is quicker and smoother than the MF Dyna-6. This conversation is making me hope that i get on my chosen collage course as they have both tractors and I want to find out which is best.

This conversation is making me hope that i get on my chosen collage course as they have both tractors and I want to find out which is best. school half term so back to work we were hauling tarmac chippings and hardcore earlier for re-doing one of the yards as it's a bit rough from having beet on it all winter. got a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUYZS-MZAuE its an arion 640 cebis, if you click on that link theres a video of me and my friend pulling some hardcore with it today, and theres a few pictures of it in this topic i think if you look back a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok but the manitou was so much better... i don't know which one were having but i cant stand this matbro much longer, today we had to jump start it for the second day in a row, then randomly the hydraulics gave out and you couldn't do anything with the boom, then the bleeper on the load sensor sounds like someone dying, and just other little things are beginning to go wrong on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 im afraid to say there won't be anymore pictures or updates posted on this topic, i had a large falling out with one of the blokes there a couple of weeks ago and i said i think it's best if i quit, currently trying to find some more work somewhere, unfortunately being 13 makes it a hell of a lot harder finding farms to work on \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thats really bad news Josh, I know the sort you mean, we have had the same problems with someone like that before. As Jordan says just put your face about the local farms, make a cv and say that you would like some expirience and your always willing to learn new things etc, you might get the worst jobs to begin with but with time you will work your way up the pecking order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 yeah, thanks for the positive comments guys, i'm quite into my agri photography so i will probably use that to get around the local farms, see how they operate and speak to the guys that work there etc... And to be honest i'm not too bothered about getting the worst jobs, i suppose at the end of the day it will show me the other side to farming, while also gaining experience at the same time.

Jdeere6910 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I meant like starting from the bottom, doing the worst jobs on the farm, not the worst jobs going sort of thing maybe I should make myself a bit clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you can prove yourself doing the bad jobs then you will get the good ones, any expirience is good expirience I find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schw84 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Didnt you say you lived in Crowland? There is a farm on the way to Cowbit JWE banks limited or claypack or something... I drive that way all the time (hate the new road) and they have some largish equipment in the sheds, so they may have some part time work in the summer or just let you go do some experience with them... Your only 13 so you cant do alot of jobs for the big farms up there as you cant go on the road etc, but I'm sure that if you go see a farmer act enthusiastic etc they might let you help about... You never know you may just get paid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 can you still drive the old road from peterbrough to spalding then?? or have they made it new road only as such?? will go that way when we come up to spalding and i know the last time me and tris were eyes all over at the kit arround far better than using the by pass if we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I live on the Norfolk/Suffolk boarder by Halesworth, but my works based in cambridge, I design Schools etc and have projects in Lincolnshire so I come past on my way up to Boston. I went that way the other week the new road has a bunch of idiots on it and I prefer the fun of driving on the smaller winding roads. Anyway they haven't closed the road off yet... I know pinchbeck yes, I use it to get from Boston to Grantham. I'm sure you will find work there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
