MJB1 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 ah looks a bit more like it jordan , i think you'll learn much more here than the bigger outfits you were with before . listen watch & learn, it seems to have a bit of everything, & because of the size it will have time for you fit at a decent pace rather than just throw you in & just expect you to do it . Don't be to vocal about the last few companies though , there's nothing worse than hearing about how good or bad previous employers are as said , looks to be a reasonable set up, hope you get on well mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 looks a lot more intresting and a far better place to learn your trade mate , they should have a bit more time to teach you stuff, rather than expecting you to just get on with it and find out the hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordantaylor Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 the first photo shows a Case IH puma cvx 230 we had on demo. it has the ad-blue tank and was superb on the fuel saving front compared to the 225 i think the boss is keen on purchasing one soon. also the other photos show all 4 john deere 7530's, a case puma 225, and a claas arion 640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 That 565 is a stunner, Jordan!!! I'd be as happy trundling around in that old bus or even sat aloft the 35 as I would in any of the newer kit. Nice mix of machinery brands and ages, I can only agree with what Marcus said. As for the photos themselves, you do well with your camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich.new holland Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 if that puma is anything like the one we had at work she'll pull like a train we got a 210 and she walks all over a 7530 on the same set of butterfly mowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
