AlexMF Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Been to work this morning to move the irrigator........sounds simple doesn't it 3.5 hours later it was going, it involved moving pipes and an incident with the gearing guards on the reel shattering but all sorted now. Also been told we'll be looking to go combining Monday, OSR if it will go (and I hope it will as the sideknife is all fitted on and header adjusted for it) or spring barley.........................you've gone home too early Alex ;D ;D im working the next 7 days straight, that's why i've gone home haha. but i'd love to come spend the next week sat putting the world to rights from the seat of a combine/ tractor...

Marmitemania Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Went too Milton Keynes, beautiful place (NOT) to pick up my latest project a 2001 Rover 45 IXS 1800cc with supposed head gasket failure, but as is so often the case with this misunderstood engine I dont think it is, its super clean everything works and the tyres are all new except one, air con beautiful and cold, alloys mint, 10 months M.O.T and only 85,000. I could tell you the princely sum I paid, but then I would have to kill you, lets just say when its done I will let it go for around £800 which is well under the average asking price, and should still make a few bob.

PDC Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I had a nice little job this morning which involved driving up to St Ives in Cambridgeshire to collect a 13ton digger and deliver it to a very small plot in a small village nr Ipswich, on my return to the yard I was told there wasn't much to do but I needed to hang about to load a couple of machines for an early start tomorrow My manager said to find something usefull to do In our yard we have a pond next to our wash down area where all the mud and water runs into which after the long dry spell we've had is completly dry So I got in it with a 7.5ton Hitachi digger and done a bit of landscaping Radio on air-con on 2hrs later pond looks alot different must of done alright as my boss went and looked and didn't say anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Sounds very painful, Sean. How unlucky mate. BT got a good sick leave set up? Red, blue and black you say? That sounds like a "CNH sprain" caused by looking at too many Case and New Holland machines and not looking where you are going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 aint going sick tris, its not worth the hassel, bt operates a "always your fault" policy and activly pursues people it thinks are wrong in any tiny issue that could have caused it, major wrong i know, but i can live with it, few cans of something tonight and a good nights sleep will help, got it bandaged up again now after an hr in a bowl of ice cold water, taken the swelling down a good amount i must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
