jordantaylor Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 well thought id start a section on here for JC & MW Suckleys due to them being not only my workplace for the next 4 months but also due to them being very close to home and one of my many photo stops when out and about or when working due to there always being something going on. they have around 7000 acres of landof which is majority arable. they run 2 main teams of tractors being a team of JD's (68,69,74 & 7530's) and a team of NH's (T6090,7030,40,50). the bigger machines they run are 2 john deere 8345R's, JD 8530, case IH 535 Quadtrac. they also have the odd case, massey, valtra & claas. the combines are a claas lexion 600 TT and a new holland CR980. they do around 2700 acres of potatoes, 1200 acres of combinable maize and the rest is cereal crops and sugarbeet. any photos i take there will be uploaded onto here for you gus to see.

Jdeere6910 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Sounds a very interesting place to work Jordan Why do they have 2 main fleets of tractors instead of all the same make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 ive got to be honest im not sure but i will ask. might be due to them having so many new workers they can give them a choice over what they want to drive so they are comfortable in it and not having to spend time getting used to it when working. could also be deals they get offered by the dealers. if you have a load of jd's then JD might give you deals on equipment and the same might happen with new holland. but i will ask for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Nice pictures - Next time I speak to Jackie or Jeremy I can say that I think they live in a lovely part of the country and what big sheds they have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 what have they done with the chassis to those western trailers then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I used to love roguing for wild oat, Jordan. I wouldn't mind a few hours at it now to be honest!! Yeah, echo Seans question, why no RW chassis then? As for those machinery sheds. . . lovely. Not many farms that have purpose built sheds just for machinery. Normally then just use the grain sheds, cattle buildings or don't even bother. Nice to see it all under cover, especially the more complicated machinery.

jordantaylor Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 and how about this for a grain shed, its the biggest of them all at holding 6000 tonne. there are 8 grain sheds overall and ill try and get pics of the other big ones and this field finishes at the woods and is a whopping 2/3rd of a mile long and we had to walk up and down each tramline so in that field alone we covered around 3 miles each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 you are right mate, and a hell of a field it is to and it took us a while to walk it all and get all the wild oats Ah thought so...I think it used to belong to the Lees Farm when I lived in that area - and back then a JD 955 used to harvest it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Saw some corn today which is cut with a combine near me and it has the tassles on the top already! Keep these pics coming, Jordan and stay keen mate. It looks like there are many rungs to climb on the ladder here but that's a good thing.
