Tommy Gough Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Carrying on from yesterday with final preparations for the college 24 hour ploughing marathon. Finally ready to go after a manic day running round trying to do lots of niggly jibs that shouldn't take long but still seem to. Also got the final timetable given to us today (ploughing in the dark for me ), along with news that we should have a demo Fendt 936 to have a play with in the afternoon. All I can say is roll on tomorrow. Thank god for energy drinks Edited March 28, 2012 by Tommy Gough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexMF Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ouch.... knowing my luck I'll be reincarnated as you hand Alex :'( :) to generate that sort of misfortune probably requires murdering someone.. corsa clutch is done! currently preparing my friends transit connect (known colloquially as "super transit") for a road trip this evening, to collect £3k of bespoke car parts i've just acquired for £650. only problem is that people have panic bought all the diesel. i'll be nipping to tesco for 50 litres of vegetable oil then...

Tractorman810 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 work as usual, but not to much to do ,however just had to pop up to the local tesco metro to assist my step daughters other half after the merc sprinter they run failed to start, first call was do i have any way to tow it off, no was the reply, its loaded up to, next call was do i have any easy start?? nope again ,followed by a weird request , can i bring a can of lynx deodrant?? turn up and hes on his mobile to his mechanic mate , tells me to get in the cab and turn it over, whilst he does 3 sprays of the lynx into the air intake, away she goes??? great little tip , apparently easy start, and lynx share similar explosive propertys, and only lynx works , others have been tried sure and alikes , but it does make you wonder what the hell it does to your underarms each morning?? time to swap to sure or something i thinks :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Nice scenery there, Paul. Very nice indeed. Sean I'll remember that, we keep Easy Start in the lorries for getting old junk to start but I also have Lynx in my overnight bag! Well for me it was a busy day and a bit. Last night I left the yard at 17:30 and pulled up at Crowlas at 22:00 for the night in the rigid. Then this morning I left there for a farm just the other side of Penzance where I collected two well rotten Masseys, a canned 135 and a 565. Leaving there I headed back up to Tiverton where I met the artic. Winches the two tractors up on to the lowloader and went to a saleground and picked up a Kverneland 5f reversible, took that out to the artic and cranes it over onto the lowloader, back to the saleground and lifted on a 4m Massey drill, 2f Ferguson Ridger and a generator and headed home. Unloaded, reloaded with a 3065 and loader with bucket, tines and spike for my job to Taunton. FRmer is trading in a poorly 3120 I think.

Deere-est Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Can't knock that for a nice Good Friday job, Paul. I finished the chain harrowing today by doing 70 acres. Then went round the cattle, did a couple of injections in some calves and then cut a bar out of a ring feeder as one of the bulls had his head stuck in it! :D 11hrs clocked and Traci is doing me Mediterranean roast veg to go with my fillet steak. Perfick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
