ihatepoundland Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Nothing that big, couldn't be wider than the tractor anyway and the headlands meant 5 furrows was fairly tricky with tractors on the inside/outside of the turn. There were a few Simba like things and a mole plough behind a D* Cat, they'd be the largest I'd guess. biggest tractor was the FW-30....you wait for one to come along..... (Does it get better than that!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 What was the largest implement you saw there? 6 metre power harrow being used full width behind a FENDT 930. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 6 metre power harrow being used full width behind a FENDT 930. Whoops forgot that one....too much to remember Were you driving Nigel? How'd the Fendt find getting round...it was quite near the far end wasn't it (near the soil technology one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Good luck with that (if its for charity and you take pictures ) if you beat it, we'll only have to try again and that means more tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Good luck with that (if its for charity and you take pictures ) if you beat it, we'll only have to try again and that means more tractors We'll show those Aussies a thing or two about tractors and I bet you there wasn't a tractor lawnmower in sight unlike the Challenge's in the southern hemisphere. I'll take pics alright don't you worry - now that I've got my digital camera. No 100% confirmation that its going ahead yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I have a call in to someone in Fingal. I'll report as soon as I hear something. I'd imagine we'll be trying to break 5000, and it should be no bother either! Sean; I have three tractors lined up to go. You are more than welcome to come over and drive one - the MF168 maybe?

Good man Stan keep us informed anyway. Will have to try and persuade my neighbour to bring his 168 and more importantly my father to get the 3000 kind off going a bit safer for it. 5000 - that'll end all this world record attempt lark. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
