Tractorman810 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 bit sad that ,was one of the first jobs i did on the 290 and flat 8 when they let me loose on her, and it was easy to do, not rocket science thats for sure, 8 high on to the next ,should be easier with a teleloader as you dont have to get so close either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Nice AP cab, I preferred them to the Bubble Q: the controls were more ergonomic like our 66/7600 pre-Q safety cabs, where the foot throttle worked a treat & the Dual-Power was under your left hand & YOU COULD TAKE THE DOORS OFF IN THIS LOVELY WEATHER.

ihatepoundland Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I was hoping for a brighter day and for the driver not to be wearing titty pink to get some pics of that tractor as I haven't got one of it on "film", shame they have swapped to the Claas baler, but there are a few stacks still left in that field so maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 A pig farmer thay bought straw off us baled it with a Ford 4000 and Welgar AP something, then hauled it in with one of these after stacking it with a JCB 3CX. Still one or two about I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 being from shropshire ive never seen a bale carrier like that b4 is it loaded by muppet on a manituoor is it self loading and if so how cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Trailer has no back or floor, reverses onto stack, sides compress, then it raises the bales and drives off. Supprised they aren't more common but guess no one is using flat8s anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The have been all but ditched in favour of the type that tip up verticle, reverse into stack and the lower to horizontal again. A prope chassis makes the latter type stronger, more manouverable and more verstatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
