civilpek Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 havent really much pictures taken in the last few weeks but its being a pretty busy season and not without incident. we had a same rubin hired in and after 6 hours on the job it went up in flames it was crap anyway then it got replaced by a same titan which is worse. one of the 6920s's was in a car accident where the car got wrote off thankfully no one was hurt and the tractor was only damaged slightly. A camper van hit the mirror on my 6810 and broke it off and we had two tractors and bale trailers jackknife in high ground that was very wet with all the rain but luckily again theres wasnt much damage done in either incident. Weve picked up quite a few extra pit jobs cos of another contractor selling up and our bailing side of things is going very good with about 5000 extra bales been done already this year compared to all of last year. ive been doing a fair bit of mowing this year and some work on the loading shovel ive got some pictures on my phone that ill throw up when ive time, ive also got the dirt bike thats some crack except ive fallen off it twice already in acrobatic style!! . also it looks like im heading to the US in April to go on the harvest there just have to sign the form now and ill know for sure then if im going or not but id say i will just for a change o ya the contractor near me running the mf 8270 wrote off a butterfly mower when he was traveling along the road and hit a low branch overhanging the road, dont know where the branch came from cos he had been over and back the same stretch of road without incident all summer. anyway it completly destroyed the casting breaking it right off its mounts.

civilpek Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 that fleet looks very impressive!!! I bet that big M doesn't be long going through a 10 acre field!!! Have you got a chance to drive her yet? na doesnt take long at all, especially after the head lands are taken off, we used to run two jd 1365 mowers with groupers infront of the harvester, but it was way slower in comparrison to just the one machine now. we still use the trailed mowers for the baler though, one was sold so theres two left now, one operates around the tralee area the other around dingle. unfortuntaly i havent got a chance to drive her yet but hopefully some day ill get a go brian horner round by us in north down bought 2 7530 deeres for drawin wit 14ton herrons,there shudnt be any bother wit pullin power there ,i c youse were gropin wit the big m in front of the jag,our men are at that the year but only cos its a bad year weather wise no we do that all the time, before i joined this crew he did try running a rake for a year but in the end it was only brought out for a few jobs and sold on the next year, there isnt really any contractor around here tedding in fact i dont no any in Kerry who do it, probably mainly to do with the weather, well in our case anyway its to do with the weather all our work is not far from the sea so weather is constantly changing with the tides and stuff so its usually not worth leaving it out, half the time the crop is mown only a couple hours in front of the harvester at the most a day before the harvester comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey man Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 not so bad sure the rake is a bad job the year just rakin in soil,how many deeres do youse run,is the claas an axion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the same position as you the first time I organised my New Zealand trip, lost the girl and the trip - was gutted at the time. Choose wisely mate, it's a toughey. As Paul said, the L90 looks the absolute king up there aloft that grass mate, what a weapon!!! Some nice photo's, keep'em coming sonny jim!!
