Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks lads, in summer we cart in little square bales with the Ford 6640 & Ford 3000, the little 3000 pulls the trailer just aswell as the 66 and it never misses a beat! Must get some pictures of that this summer , We have the MF 4245 with a Browns flat 8, but we still load the trailers by hand just use the flat 8 to bring the bales to the trailer like. makes a tidyer job doing it by hand.

MODELFARMER Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I wasn't complaining, longest i've loaded trailers for is from 10 am till half one at night, some serious moaning was done there though, it was to rain the next day so all had to be lifted!! that was 3 years ago like i was only a nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 We have three tractor drivers, myself my boss and another employee, We are in charge of our own trailers for the three days of draying in, On the last day I volunteer to cart in the Big Quadrant bales, don't have to get out the cab and don't mind getting paid to stay a bit longer on a hot day driving a tractor. So all's well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 i know haw you feel mate you start to itch to get going & when yer half way through you wish it would hurry up & end but then doing long hours & lack of sleep zaps any enthusiasm you had when you started the season \ :) i still wish i was doing it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
