Gav836 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 B&G Spreaders, think they are based in Suffolk, they work in with Bunns at Gt Yarmouth. I've never heard of your chap, the only other contractor i know of locally is Peter Dennis who works out of Fakenham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland driver Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 local man to use hows the renault going if it like are not well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 its going, not going to say too much at the minute as i don't want to tempt fate. I did have a suspension seal go yesterday but that's fixed now. Had a bad run in January which cost ?6000 in repairs and 1000hr services, most of it was to do with general wear and tear of a hard worked tractor with 3000hrs on the clock. Mostly ball joints on the front suspension, a hub seal and drive shaft, gear change cable, linkage fault, prop shaft bearing and new shaft and a couple of oil leaks. Not using the dealer from now on unless it's an electronic fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Renaults are behaving so far though, i think the NH 8560 is causing more grief of late, it's getting past it now, 7500hrs and needs to go now to someone who will use it less. At least with James doing it you had a good chap as he knows what he's talking about on the electronic side of the Renaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Good chap, the students are needed. When I was there we had 31 on the course, two years later it was 7. Sign of the times. Last few years it has risen again which is encouraging. It's a fantastic college with fantastic resources and has got better and better since I left. (Understandably!!). You'll be doing the 24hr ploughing marathon then, get the 3065 mate, she's a weapon and a half. I have a phrase ringing in my ears when from when we were debudding dairy calves and trying to catch the gangley little things. Hamster (a mate of mine) didnt have a clue. He grabbed what he could, to the sound of 30 other 16 /17yr olds shouting "HAMSTERRRRR NOT BY THE EARS!!!!!!!!!" Can hear it as if I was there. On topic again now, just saw my local contractor heading out with a TM of some description with a McConnel PA5000 hedgetrimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 They are sods i was told we're allowed to switch on marathon so i may try and grab there TM190 for a bit ;Dlast year aparently only 11 on the course so not good but year before was 20 so peaks and troughs i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's still there tomorrow I'll get a pic, would be a nice convo to do when the RC2 model comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
