pj witch Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 taking my new u h plough out of the box and watching as the 8th furrow falling to the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj witch Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 the way it turns over is alot easiar but the furrows are only stuck to the main beam ,it looks a lot better looking than the lemken ,but at £41 you would expect something a bit stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 sounds like were back to the age old problem ..........making the models strong enough for a bit of play or highly detailed delicate creatures purely for display. what annoyed me........paperwork!! i DESPISE it , I cant bloomim well do it right. having a very frustrating time trying to get something sorted out..... I would far rather be frozen ,filthy and knackered than having to do it...I`m drawing the line at soaked because the older I`m getting the less I`m liking getting wet ................for the wrong reasons at least..........not that I don`t like the hot tub ! The above was annoying enough but top that off when postie brought me the bill for fixing my Claas..............just a kick in nuts under £4 000 had thought it would be hefty but no s much as that........., just under £2 000 for labour too !

jakescot Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 What happened with the Claas for that size of a bill John :of twin shift pack, lost drive in the high splitter, I was able to drive it to the dealer , they split it repaired it put it back together and it still wasnt right, it was split again , seem like at my expense too because its charged at workshop hours.Two titanium , think thats what he said , rings inside hadn`t been changed to start with but they couldnt get any front oil pressure? so had to go back and do them......it`s all beyond me , I`m a cow man not a mechanic .the rings and plates were all warped,mechanic said probably heat did that causing the brass plate to get worn unevenly and break up.the bits hadn`t got into the forward and reverse pack nor the main gearbox luckily . It did however have its 1000 hour service two track rod ends pick up hitch cable and one of those door cables in that price but its still a hefty bill. Locally theres a guy got a £9 000 bill from the main dealer for repairs to his NH ...they are all as bad as each other round here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 this lot pay from day one, up to six months full pay infact ,but after that its half pay. to be honest its now crunch time, what happens over the next month or so will decide where and what i do. its k to have a well paid job for the area, but if they show no appreiciation for what you do, put more obsticals in your way to prevent you doing the job its like a mine feild, and then pull stunts on you like this, its not been like this before, many a thank you was passed for efforts ect in the past managers took the time to speak to you not beat you ,the current crew at the top are trying their hardest to force our side out of the company, and have openly admitted it . dont care how good the money is, no job is worth the agro they are giving us right now, have already worked out pension and share stuff, and the wifes ok with anything i do, even if it means 6 months retraining at our cost or what ever i do decide to do, as long as i am stress free in the eve when i come home, not bothered at all hours on callouts and most of all happy in my work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
