robbo Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have got quite a few photos to post this week and quite a few different colours. Starting with a Valtra T151 injecting food waste into grassland, apparently the grass shows a growth spurt within days The driver did apologise for the dirty condition but they had a pipe burst earlier in the day, to be fair I went past him again today and it was shining The onto a Deutz Agrostar 6.08 with a power harrow/drill combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Then today I came upon a large contracting gang injecting slurry, they run all John Deere tractors none of which are more than 2 years old but are expected to do up to 3000 hours in that time They actually let me loose to have a drive in this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Then the injection tractor and what a set of tyres she had on her, apparently they were £40,000 for the set :of but the drive reckoned she could almost walk on water ;D They looked at an injection machine which retailed at £4000 but after having a demo and seeing how it was put together, they made their own..........and a good job it does too ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Lucky you getting a test drive of a tractor Mike....did you need to get much tuition... The gears have changed quite a bit since I last had a go, no more constant mesh crunching, but other than that I was just impressed with how quiet and easy it was. Don't forget that I was just driving in a straight line with nothing on the back so it wasn't as if I was actually working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Same here Mike....it must be around 25 years ago since I have driven any modern kind of tractor...and yes things have change a lot but mind you that is a 1/4 of a century ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 A few weeks ago I found a Steiger Panther at a local farm but parked up in the barn, today I found it working and what a beast it is too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 so its free rein then, not a designated area each day to do, ideal, in the sticks work all the time then, for some reason i always asumed you had areas to do at times so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
