Powerstarâ„¢ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 How many acres of barley are in this year Mart? Will it be harvested by the farms old MF combines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 How many acres of barley are in this year Mart? Will it be harvested by the farms old MF combines? About 40 acres of Spring barley and 15 of Winter Wheat.......Hoping to get the Massey's fired up again this harvest but there's no guarantees, will all depend on the time factor as the old New Holland is much quicker........ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 The old 698 is now up and running again but she may be getting traded in for a newer model later in the year....... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Nice little project for you that Mart... she looks to be in fine order as well mate.. would look wonderful if she was tarted up a little hey mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 was it just the battery in the end mart?? or something more serious, cant remember you saying to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice little project for you that Mart... she looks to be in fine order as well mate.. would look wonderful if she was tarted up a little hey mate She's needing a fair bit of money spent on her Marky, the rear tinwork is fairly well rusted through and the 4 wheel drive is pretty much knackered....... \ :'( was it just the battery in the end mart?? or something more serious, cant remember you saying to be honest No she was needing a new starter as well Sean as a new battery made no difference.......Fired up eventually once the new battery and starter were fitted....... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have seen a lot worse Mart - at least she is not too rusty - so what is the boss thinking of replacing her with - another 3000 series or 6100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 loads of farmers buy those poles for things like that, we get ride when they are so old or decayed so far, but even then they are good for a long time, as barns ect, i know of one pole still in use down here was put in during 1947, still passes the test every 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Ah.... I see.... so why Mart... that 6475 is pretty newish isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Aye it's the 6475 in my avatar and she's going in July to be replaced by the 6480....... She's only on a 55 plate Marky, but the 6480 has a 50K box which is the real attraction as it'll make hauling the grain and silage etc much quicker plus the extra wee bit of horse power....... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
