On the road with a Agricultural Engineer

I work as a mobile agricultural Engineer for a Manitou and Deutz Fahr main dealer. Thought I would keep my camera in the van in case I see something of interest.

So the first photos are of my service van Fiat Ducato 120 which I have had since February 2011

The shot of the back of the van so you know who you are following! No moonlighting in this van! (Last photo you can see my old van top l/h)

Looks like a topic to keep an eye on thanks for posting and keep up the good work. Like the Fergie on the hedge cutter too. What was it - looks like a 675?

Thanks!

Yes I think it was a MF 675

I been an engineer for thirteen years now and love it most days! The work is moving away from clutch replacement's and engine rebuilds and is more electrical and computer diagnostics. We are having to travel further to customers which suits me as I hate being in the workshop and avoid sending machines in If I can help it.

Some photos of bread and butter servicing jobs.

thats a fair size manitou  must be a big farmer or a grainstore ?and the liebheer looked like it was in a mill too?

She is a MLT 845-120LSU so 8 meter 4.5 ton lift 120HP and load sensing ultra hyd's and is owned by Openfield Agricultural and is used at a grain store.

The Liebheer L524 2plus1 works in one of Frontier Agricultural grain stores.
