smithy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Whilst waiting for the rain to stop so I can finish my last piece of hay I have sorted out the back of one of my sheds and this old potato planter is being put back in ,the wife said take it to scrape yard but I cant do that so I will put the good stuff in front of it to hide it up ,I can remember siting in the middle on the back of it for many days when I should have been at school a adult ether side of my to hopefully catch me if I slipped of the seat I think the machine is called a PILOT it does 3 rows at a time and seamed to take forever to get to the other side of the field I have seen a picture of a 2 row machine that was similar but never one like this 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 smithy, that looks just like the one we had , although I had the outside seat to counter balance my uncle, we only did around 5 acres ish each year for family and friends, but was great fun to do . for me , I got talked into working nights for the last 3 days, 15.30 till 06.30 due to the council agreeing a road closure some 30 days ago, all as per the regs, then they cancel it the day it at 8 the day it started , and offering nights instead, wasn't a hard job but I was the only one trained to use the cabling wagon available for the first nights, sadly I cant drive it according to bt ,license says otherwise, so one of the new guys who's ex army and got a hgv license drove and I operated ,while he kept the kettle going ,bloody tired now mind, certainly throws your body clock out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
