FB Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Again, just a bit of fun....sorry no prizes apart from a big sloppy kiss from Marky or Udi :D We are gonna run a harvest comp, ok its a bit late but us mods have been busy Rules: 1. Each person is allowed a maximum of 1 entry in this section, each entry can contain a maximum of 6 photos. 2. The pictures can show any part of harvest (Including model fires Gav ) 3. Any tractors/machinery used in this category can be re-used in another category....... but try to keep it realistic. 4. It is ok to use older machinery in for example the 00s period considering some contractors and many farmers still do 5. A seperate section will be made "in this board" to allow people to comment on the entries but any OT posts under this title, other then the entries will be deleted. 6. When submitting an entry you should first try and indicate how many acres your outfit harvests and try to match the machinery used with the workload......... KEEP IT AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE 7. Once all the entries have been received, a poll will be created in each section where each member will have a vote (total vote number to be confirmed depending on entries) 8. WE MAY 'COMBINE' (NO PUN INTENDED :D ) ALL TOPICS IF NOT MANY ENTRIES ARE RECIEVED Competition will run until October 15th, i know harvest would have finished in the real world i guess but allows some members to pick up models from Spalding *RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY MODS* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 as the previous lads move on to the next field we use our older mf 590 and mf 124 baler with cooks flat 8 sledge to bale, still use conventional bales at mo, as easier to move for the pigs ect, had the 590 from new, and used to be one of the main haulers until the 600 series came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 finally we stack the falt 8's into 64 bale stacks using the newly bought 290 with mf80 loader on her, which has recently relaced the mf 550 which we still have but mainly for low barn work, then cart away with another of the old mf's our 575 which again was purchased from new, have a soft spot for this tractor so we tend to use her for the lighter work like carting bales with the cooks bale grab trailer, a lot easier than using manual labour and the olf trailer to cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
