Deere-est Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Heat gun at the bulls! :laugh: You're a crafty fellow, Graham. You are loaded with tips and ideas on how to do things, I'd have never have thought of that. Mark did a nice job refurbishing that 3050 for Kestler Farm. Oh, where does the name Kestler come from?

graham Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 few more pics in the calving yard put a pen for just calved cows and a headlock to hold the cows if we have a bad calfing can be folded back when not in use just cleaning out the yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 thanks painter mark and tris the name kestler is just out of the air tris cracking job he made of the tractor the strw the animals are lying in is what they call wood wool looks a bit like the real stuff i thought ,i have made some more animals just getting up moved some legs around and heads with the heat gun but just put the animal in a bowl of cold water and hold it in position and it will stay there have a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 where do you get the wood wool from then graham?? never heard of that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Some detail in the sheds there Graham, rally liking the feed barriers, galv panel gate with bolt, gutters & downpipes, not to mention the straw. Smart paintwork on the cattle too. The 3050 looks at home there, I gave it a full valet before it left the yard I think I can see another tractor that I supplied to you a few years ago as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
