powerrabbit Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Saunders at Whiddon down are the local MF dealers, or they are to me. Got up early this morning and picked the peas out in the garden before the rain came in. Picked off 49lb and took them out to the local veg shop. Worth growing when you can sell them to a shop for a pound a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 maybe ?? the dobwalls yard went years ago, think its a truck workshop now, getting harder to find a good dealer latley , especially ones that stock models all the time, closest to me really fergy wise is launceston or whiddon down, nh is bovey tracy, jd ,you know, or cornwall farmers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 ive been sat in the sales office at my local JD dealers ;D also been riding with a mate harvesting barley, we should start on monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 All the dealers around me are pretty poor in the stocking of models and those that they do have have been in stock long enough for the boxes to have been bleached by the sun in the window or so thick in dust you can't see what they are. Saying that though, Saunders at Whiddon Down do have in current models in dealer boxes and these are the 1:32 and 1:16 UH MF models as the UH rep regularly calls on them. They do stock a small amount of Siku MF as well. Masons of Chudleigh, or more precise Kingsteighnton, always used to have a large range of JD models including SpecCast, Ertl precision and others but they were always very expensive. I haven't been there for a few years now but a mate of mine thats a fitter for them tells me they don't carry so much stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Have been busy packing up the kids clothes as they are going on holiday with their Granny on Monday so me and the wife have a week of peace coming up. Have also been filling in application form to become a part time fire fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I fancied that, Rob (part time firefighter, not a week with your missus! ) as a retained fireman but I am never close enough to our stations for the shouts. Today is going to be messy and dusty to the extreme \ We have a Timber Cleaning company coming in to sandblast all the beams. It will look nice but by christ will we have some cleaning up to do later and tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is going to be messy and dusty to the extreme \ We have a Timber Cleaning company coming in to sandblast all the beams. It will look nice but by christ will we have some cleaning up to do later and tomorrow! tris prob to late now, but pop into your local paint specilist and ask for a roll of cover plastic, my brother got me some, a big roll, about 1m ,1.2m wide about 50m long, just roll it out, then it unfolds to tripple its width, saves a lot of work when doing stuff like that, or decorating /wall sanding, just fold it up after and tip the mess off, because its plastic you can tape it down easier to, cost him / me about 15 quid a roll,and well worth the effort, bit taped over the stairs saved all the dust ect going up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have her for the week if you want will give me time in the garage : First time I have lived close enough to the station as well Tris. It is 5 minutes here but 8 minutes if agreed with station officer I am about 2 minutes away. Wanted to do it for a while after doing to fireteam for offshore. Not sure how it will work out as you are supposed to attend the station each week for training so will have to see what happens. Today looking after the kids until 2 and also getting the stuff ready for a roast tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Too late, Sean they've been and gone. Looks a lot better now, really pleased with it even though for 2hrs work it was quite steep. Got the hoover on the go now. Even the doorways that were taped up let the sand through. It won't be as bad downstairs but the carpeted upstairs is taking some work! Rob, I'd be interested to hear about your training etc if all goes to plan for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
