Oakley Farms Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 A very tidy looking second hand combine there, no trouble selling that, Lexion 600's being sought after. Oakley will send you a competative price to do your combining. Something to mull over during new year celebrations. Have a good one matey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Another topsy turvey week weather wise out the way and stop start jobs all week , with spreading heaps of dung and keeping the umbilical kit moving whenever and wherever possible ! , we have managed to get up to branstons to pick up a few load of stock potatoes and bring back to mix for the beef cattle , also a chance to get down to smarts to pick up an ex demo sulky fert spreader , and back in the yard made a start on getting the foragers through the workshop and the 3rd forager has also just turned up on hire from wilsons farming up in preston , looks like our silage season will be starting earlier than usual with how much grass we have got out in the fields at the moment ! Roll on silage season !!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sulky spreaders popular there Julain? We've a real one like that model and really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I wouldn't say to popular ol as seems to be more amazone or Kuhn in the area we are , but a couple have popped up in the last 4 or 5 months, they all say its a well built machine though ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 nearing the end of the week and were flat out dung spreading at the mo weve got 3 spreaders on with another 2 booked in to come early next week . decided to start ploughing straight in behind , luckily weve managed to pull the plough on not the best conditions but jobs getting done and the wheels keep on rolling , hopefully the weather will start to settle and we can crack on with another 100 acres of ploughing , also been on hauling haylage out to yet more horse customers .On the machinery front we should have a few demo machines turning up in the next couple of weeks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Nice soil the plough is parked on Julian, just sand is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 no ol , its proper soil, came off a potato grader and has been sieved about 5 times to get all the knobs out and leave a fine soil , ideal for sculpting over the layouit and much cheaper than buying soil mixes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 a quick update to whats been going on the last week down here at orchard , a quiet few days has meant we have had a chance to get some machines in the workshop , firstly we've had 3 of the fendts in and they have had a service and we have put chequer plating on the backs of the mirrors to give them extra protection around all our narrow lanes , and the 936 has been in and been treated to the same but we have also put on some marker boards on for a bit of extra warning , lastly the AD plant is getting nearer completion so a trip overseas with alex is pencilled in to get some ideas kit wise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 jobs coming in thick and fast due to the half decent weather and better ground conditions, the spreaders now fully booked up for at least 10 days if not more , and we have had to get local contractor stew Elliott in aswell with his tractor and spreader , time for a quick clean off and grease up , diesel all tractors and then there off to spread for alex down at Oakley , a mere 1200 acres to get across , should keep the boys busy . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Good to hear your on the way with the spreaders, watch out for the top field at Frogmary, very wet where Wakleys had carrots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Did you see that big yellow (agco?) self propelled muck spreader on flea bay, would be at home on your layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I saw that Ol, was tempted myself but thought it would upset a few local contractors who currently do Oakleys spreader work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looked a heck of a bit of kit hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Certainly did, would suit Orchard nicely and the needs of its customers, high output, low ground pressure etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 busy week yet again due to the dry weather with only the odd deluge of rain , the spreaders just returning to the yard after a week spreading for alex down at Oakley , 1200 acres or so spread with another 300 acres to spread at a later date , ground conditions not too bad and the boys kept on plugging away to get the job done , back at home we've managed to keep on going with the plough and today we just started to put in 50 acres of beans , looks like tonight will be a late one as some heavy rain forecast at the end of the week . also made a deal with alex to take delivery of a load of stock potatoes a week , so we can mix in to the cows and heifers diet rations . A successful trip to Germany with alex has proved to be well worthwhile as a productive meeting with fliegl and fendt was well worth traveling for as all will be revealed in the next week or so ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 End of the week , we've just taken delivery of a load of stock feed potatoes from Oakley , they will be mixed in the diets for the cows and heifers , 1 more week left for hedgetrimming and we're down to just the road hedges left to do and a few customers horse paddocks then we can say goodbye to the hedgetrimmer for a while ! Hitched up the sprayer yesterday to go out and burn off 200 acres of stubble , we didn't get very far as the weather decided to take a turn for the worst , so that'll be a job for next week , weather permitting ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
