Pingu Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm on number 8's as well but where I'm really heavy stuff that sticks to the boards I'm struggling for grip so tyres are squashing last furrow and the furrow wall slightly so its not getting enough soil to throw to fill it fully its only slightest little line, like I said when on better ground even heavyish matches a treat and looks perfect just when on snot and heavy clay wheel squashes to much and cant go fast enough to cover it (down to 3-4k and dont have wheelslip monitor to say basic deere ;D ), if making sense?

BC Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Today I have decided to take a holiday and have a day at home. Two fold really partly due to the adverse weather conditions and also sore feet. I have managed to get cracked soles in both feet. Had cracked heels before but never soles.

robl12 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well yesterday I cleared 2ft of snow off our 111m2 driveway and all the paths round the house. Feeling a little stiff today but have the 2 inches that fell overnight to clear off the drive. Also have a list of jobs to get done round the house as my wife has gone to work and good chance she will not get home. Also have to phone work and see what time my check in will be tomorrow... as today they are trying to clear friday flights : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The snow.has got progressive northwards from Wiltshire but so far it seems still only a dusting compared to other areas. I'm on main roads most of the day too so I shouldn't think it will be too bad. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
