britainsnut Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 7840 2wd and two TM's or 60series lifting spuds with Grimme lifter and Bailey trailers going home. ON the way up a yard with a TW-30 or something and a 9600. .. .loads of stuff in yards but not much working. I think i saw the same crew lifting the spuds in the next village just outside spalding and then coming up the road was a Case quadtrac stx480 with a big set of simba discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyboy Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 it was a strange breed, didn't recognise the colour it was a faun, light brown colour. thought it was a trailer of straw when i seen it in the distance because it was that big , only realised it was a big spreader when i got closer, think the two smaller rear wheels are on a steering axel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Maybe that axle setup is pretty common abroad then, the pics are on my laptop. I'll have a gander shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
