Deere-est Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 That's quite a lump of plough then, does the tractor handle it ok Paul? I should think it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 That's quite a lump of plough then, does the tractor handle it ok Paul? I should think it does. yes ,although a topic on the forum people were saying that small tractors can handle big ploughs,but it does literally depend on what the land is like,the fields i done today are very heavy and clayey,but the mf still handled it well,but the bosses son said they are thinking of getting the 8450 chipped giving it an extra 50 hp ,because some of the fields here are very steep and that makes the bugger chuff,but a 250 hp tractor is big for down here,although i do know of a contractor in devon who has a fendt 936!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deere-est Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Good for you, Paul. Enjoyment is a big part of why I do what I do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I always say if you're not enjoying the job you do for a living then its time for a change, lifes too short to be miserable. For me today it was in work at 8am to remove a wheel motor off the potato harvester with some help......boss disappeared just as it was time to drop the extremely heavy motor off so the wheel barrow is now dented then once that was off went and ploughed the last bit of winter barley ground so I'm free to work on the harvester all week getting that ready to go before leaving off at 2.30pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
