Valley Axe Man Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Cheers for the responses Mark, Smithy and Erik will have to keep my eyes out for a bargain or two if I'm going to go for the set ..... come to think of it Mark the 5000 demonstrator is here somewhere as I bought a pair of them at Lanark a couple of years back off Graham and Michelle when they had them on offer at £30 as a show special.....

mb86 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 That is excellent Paul, brilliant workmanship as usual. I bet you will need some extra weight on the 3pl with a bucket that size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 A little update of recent arrivals down here in the Valley ... Just in time for the autumn ploughing season, a 3 furrow Rumpstad reversible, based on Andy's 2 furrow base unit, with an extra furrow and a longer slightly stronger main beam, should put a nice load on the 974 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 ....And also another little bit of yellow, in the form of a Bamford's Wuffler the hay and grass silage might be coming to the end of season, but another welcomed addition to the fleet of machinery 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAINH1973 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Like the wuffler. Used to use one to lift straw for baling at this time of year. Didnt break the straw like the hay bob. You need to put on a the 384 though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
