Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 Amongst the celebrity stars on the run (well if you follow tractorbarn's Serious Grass) were non other than Tom Woodhouse who features his 2100 in the first dvd, was also Oliver Greenwood on his little grey fergy who works on Andrew Atkinson's farm near Lancaster, Andrew himself turned up although only as a spectator and not on the run itself 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 While running the pluton though the rape stubble you expect to find the odd flint or big stone but i did not expect to find the lump of concrete that someone had dumped on the headland 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth getting if your into these machines. got it last night but haven't had a chance to read it.Always a soft spot for the old Deutz as my Uncle got the first power steering tractor in the village in 1977 a deutz (can't remember the number).traded for a 7207 a few years later that my cousin still has and I have shown pics on here.My friend runs a transport company and has 30/40 acres.the tractors are a hobby as much as anything and he definitely doesn't need 6 of them Edited August 6, 2020 by ford4ever add pic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 6.61 on the mowers, 7.10 on a Pottinger Mex VI, and the 6.30s and 6.31 on 20ft Dooleys and you'd have a very capable silage outfit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 DA17ON Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 So this is a first for us on our farm. Got the contractors in to chop 65 acres. We built a small pit 2m high and 60ft long. When they started we didnt think it was all going to fit in..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 While cutting my own wheat on Wednesday i took a phone call ,it was my mate Combine Kenny calling on behalf off the CASE demo team , he was wondering if i could help out for a couple of hrs early on Thursday morning as he had got to take a different header to another farm and demo , he had got hold of a Case 150 to tow the header off one of the demo combines and could i drive it down the A140 to another farm , so at 7am i am picked up from beacon hill services at the bottom of the A140 /A14 junction by a man called mark from the demo team ,he drives us up the A140 to a farm to pick up tractor ,i then follow him to where the two combines are parked up and he loads up the header onto the trailer which i had hooked onto ,i then set of heading towards the A140 again and the down to a farm a few miles away from Stoke Ash White Horse Pub , as it was still am 4 off us nipped back to the pub for breakfast paid for by the case demo team we then went back to the field as it was dry enough to start ,i was only there a short time while they was cutting as i had to get back and on my own combine 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I thought i had finished cutting for a few days till my spring barley would be ready , i was out with the hedge cutter this morning when i took a call from my mate Colin he had just started a 45 acre field and was having a few problems with his combine and was wondering if i could help out ,so i set off home to get my machine ready and i set off across my fields as i could get to him with only 100yds of road travel ,in the mean time he had repaired/patched up his M/F and by just after 8pm we had mown over all of it ,it was a decent crop he was well pleased with it ,allow it kept him busy carting with 2 trailers but only one tractor with a 4 mile round trip , i was pleased i could help out might be me needing help next time , its the second time in 2 days i have helped him out as he came to borrow my clutch housing of my baler on friday as his had just broken half way thought a job , he has been quoted £700 for new bit and going to take 2 days to get it , anyhow i gave my old mate Goody a call with part numbers and he has located the bits for us and a lot,lot cheaper but going to take 5 days to get them from France which is not a problem as he is going again with my parts and i dont need my baler till i cut the spring barley 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 DA17ON Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 This is some sight what's that saying nothing runs like a Deere... case 135 on demo and only cut 5 rows of grass that was a wast of time. Hydraulic oil everywhere. Looks like its leaking from a block at the back end lad said the wheel will have to be removed to fix it. Think we'll stick to the John deere tractors. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
