rich.new holland Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 well mine is a pretty boring one compared to this lot... but I was grass cutting this year with my 5480 and flail mower.... doing a 10-11 acre field I do regularly... I'd cut the first strip along the edges, dodging the tree branches and making the usual wavy line of cut in doing so... on my second run I was determined to get a straight line to work from for the rest of the field.. I picked my point in the hedge at the other end of the field and went for it... bugger me this is going to be good I was saying to myself.. hardly an input needed on the steering wheel... dead eyed-**** they will be calling me I thought... just before the end I went to click the lift button.. only to find it still in up .. I looked behind me only to find I'd not actually lowered the mower to cut done the same as you marky aha , was power harrowing one day with a tm 140 and 5mtr power harrow and there was a guy filming me so i thought il make it look good and ill have a dead straight line so turned of the healand and set her in ,only to realise when at the next healand i hadnt moved the slider all the way down and the tips of the tines were only just touching all looked ok from the cab aswell untill the end when i had realised luckily ive never seen the video on youtube from the guy i did have some stick of the other boys in field afterwards as they had seen it but deceided not to give me a hint on the CB aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I suppose it's worth it then to turn your head occasionally to look at your work/implement, even if it means taking your eyes off your aim point. Looking ahead: And behind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey123 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ermm, probably this summer, i was unloading a wagon of straw on the JCB TM310S and i grabbed 3 heston sized bales, started reversing and bang, i'd reversed other one of the straw merchants ratchets and i'd managed to put a hole in the tyre! I wasn't very popular, as the tyres where only a week old when it happened! Needless to say i wasn't very popular that week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking ahead: And behind: i did glance back but couldnt tell from the cab like, only realised at the end as the slider wasnt all the way down teach me to use the slider not the lazy buttons aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
