It isn't a rash, it's just your body adjusting to the higher percentage of reliability, style, and raw power than you are used to. Colour aside, don't you need a £100k 200+hp new tractor to put a bit of fert on? tin hat deployed. Been meaning to upload these for 3 weeks now,amazing what some folks will use for spreading fertilizer,??mind you the ground does look a tad damp, Regards Joe. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 When I saw the first photo I thought it was a spoof! An idea why they didn't put a set of floats on a small tractor for that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Looks like a cracking run you had there Martin spent couple of hours yesterday taking the tank off my Major.... it's split at the seam around the two halves where the top meets the bottom on the way to or from our local Ag show a Saturday , so will spend an hour tonight after work and run a weld along the seam where the split is....

I did yes, always some good scenery on this run, there aren't many hedges up there to spoil the view, fancy doing my tank while you are at it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just returned from a fantastic time at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. The weather was brilliant and the engines behaved in general, even if our Garrett decided to throw a tyre off in the last hour of the show! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 2 hours ago, Valley Axe Man said: where abouts has your tank split Martin? got a weld on mine last night, will have hopefully cured it It is the seam as well but these are joined the opposite way (see pic[ from google]) and of course it is leaking at the bottom where there is a bolt hole in the crimped bit where you bolt it to the steering box. It is only the odd drip but it needs sorting, since she did so well on the run I'm starting to think she deserves a lick of paint and of course I wouldn't want a diesel leak spoiling the finish.

Sounds like it could be sorted Martin, at least they are a steel tank... we had some really bad ally tanks off a couple of abused merc tippers in for repair a while back and they were absolute pigs to cure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yes it should be fixable, best remember to empty the tank before any heat is applied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Mowing 14 hours yesterday and 10 hours today. Had my boy with me for a while, he enjoyed himself. Cant believe he's starting school in a weeks time! Where did 4 and a half years go? A picture from 4 years ago to finish off with! Baling tomorrow, for as long as the weather holds. On a separate point I was pleased to receive my Schco Dutra tractor in the post today - thought I had missed out on getting one however after some searching found one for sale in Belgium. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
