NCC Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Here's some pics I've taken over the last few days while tedding. Done about 200 acres over the last 3 days with another 150+ acres tomorrow. I can get upto 17-20 acres an hour in the big square fields but small triangular shaped ones can be a bugger trying to turn all 25ft round without taking out the hedge. Road work is fun too at just under 10ft wide ;D Most pics are of the tedder or pics from in the cab, theres also one of the Valtra M150 with claas 3050 front and rear mowers that I was tedding behind :P Any questions, ask away ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS IT ANY WONDER ACCIDENTS HAPPEN > > DID YOU LEARN NOTHING WHEN YOU WERE ON WORK EXPERIENCE if read properly these 'annoying stickers' as you call them could SAVE YOUR LIFE ! i give up i really do they arn't put there to annoy you they are put there to make you take notice of them , if you really notice where they are , you will see that when driving it in no way obscures the drivers vision as all it covers is the bonnet ! Have you ever been in an overturned tractor ?, jacknifed a tractor & trailer ? unfortunately i have & believe me it's bloody frightening. Law dictates that warning stickers are put there for any driver to see & read carefully, & thats not screwed up on the cab floor! Tractor accidents are on the rise because more inexperienced drivers are not aware of the dangers tractor work involves , mainly because i believe ,& i've been there, youngsters think they know more than they do & don't bother reading the warning decals. Strange i know but you will quite happily take a warning decal down & replace it with a 'PERKINS POWER' or 'RADIO 1' sticker , & if thats the case you just as well put one up that says 'I'M A KNOB' sorry to have a go Phil but this sort of things really get to me martin surprised me when he wanted to know about what tractor to buy, well the 7710 / 8210 is a good starter but , he then asked what type of radio was in them ? sorry mart but thats not the question you should be asking but maybe the question wasn't so surprising after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
