New cattle shed for 2013


Recommended Posts

The new sheds looking well! That milk tank is a good size too, how many liters is it?

Were you using flux, or a flux cored solder? This can be a cause of the solder going everywhere, it almost just rolls off the metal.

thanks..I've gone big enough with the milk tank to allow for the extra cows over the next few years......20,000 litres can fit into it so should do the job

Thanks for every ones the help, and Brendan for letting me hijack your topic for a bit. :)

 

Also do you think Bob might calm down if he is allowed to play with a nice Massey? ???

That's grand its all about helping each other...bob on a massey. . . sure the farmer allows him drive the MF 135 to get the cows from the field for milking cause it can't go too fast that was only after he crashed the new quad bike tho

This is the milk tank of the future the farmer tells Bob as he checks it out..It will cost less to run..it will wash faster and cleaner and the tank will even send you a text message....well thats what it says on the Dairymaster website anyway.....added a bit of colour to it today just have to get the Dairymaster logo now for the front of it....and add few pipes when the rest of palour is finished

Well twas all go again today with the 2 tanks until BOB arrived to HELP out..bob said he would throw on and off the hoses for the boys to save them getting off the tractor..so dave showed bob what to do and after 4/5 hours bob said he knew what to do . . . . .  .

It was time for the 3050 to get dirty and do some work so dave said he would take out a few loads and try out the 3050

There wasn't much room for working near the pit with bob still holding the hose but he said the steering was great on the 3050..but he forgot to put on the pto shaft....

Was it an easy enough job getting the driver into the 3050 Brendan?? ::)

It was easy enough..the top part/green part of cab lifted off with small bit of effort. .looked like there wasn't much glue holding it down..when you lift off the green part of roof there is a 2nd roof under that with a hole in it just big enough for the driver and I pushed the driver through that..

Cheers for that Brendan :)

Farmer is gone mad buying this year...he said he would buy new wheels for the jcb early this year before the mad rush starts for the silage..so off he went with his 3 wheel trailer for them
