Out of all the vehicles we have had in the field , these have been stuck: JD6820+16tonne trailer, Valtra 150 +15tonne trailer,McCorrmick 135+14tonne trailer and 2 McCormicl 165 and 14tonne trailers! The 2 6920s and 7710 just romp through it and the ploeger just floats ;D well actually i did have the front in up to the axle on a headland but the tracks just pushed her along ;D ;D Alot of the time it depends who is sat on the seat! I loaded 1 trailer last week sat on a headland cause of a wet hole in front of us that had deep ruts through it and the screwdriver went straight into it froma standing start with a MTX165 ad 15 tonne of pots  ::) ::)::) ::) Needless to say i was spitting feathers >:( >:(

HI all

Another pic of me lifting with the Ploeger, this time lifting Markies for McCains, with a Valtra and 15 tonne bailey along side.

We finished lifting 2 weeks ago, i have some more pics that i wil post when i get round to it as i went from the Ploeger to the Grimme Gz to lift 3 acres of seed and then on to beet cleaning and now we are flat out washing potatoes for Walkers(i managed to get 2day off ;D, well if you can call it a day off as i have got the kids while the wife goes xmas shopping!) Pics to follow of the washing setup, we are loading between 7 and 10 lorries a day.
