Indeed always up to something Ol.......Aye the Merlo works away fine with the dung, it's getting a bit tired now but still does our job bill couldnt stop mart, he was in the recovery truck see, only way he saw you [img alt=]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif [img alt=]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif [img alt=]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif [img alt=]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif is that your own spreader then? or do you hire in?? surprised the boss hasnt bought 1 or 2 spreader to hire out given other recent buys The Western is a hired spreader Sean, we hire it from the same man that does our combining...... We have thought about dung spreaders but have decided that going by other's experiences they can be more hastle than they're worth.......

NewHolland2 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Finally got my hands on my new digital camera after the old one dying on me so been snapping away....... Got the plough on the 6480 this week.......Here it is parked up at home, will get a couple of pics off the phone of it in the field....... Got the old Massey discs on the 3095 to disc down the barley that we left uncut as part of the Land Managers Options of the SFP....... Been down to the Docks for the first load of fertiliser, Yara ExtraGrasS, have to go back this week for the fert for the Winter Wheat.......

NewHolland2 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Was bruising barley again today, tipping it into the pit with the 3095 and Marshall, where it is augered into the dresser and then blown through a pipe system into the bruiser...... Swapped the Marshall onto thye 6480 to take it to our other farm Where I picked up the discs again to disc the steep hill in our 30 acre field, will use the 6480 for this as opposed to the 3095 as the loader can make it a bit unstable turning on the steep slope Marky you're the man to ask this, any idea what the model number of those discs would be, I;ve had a look for a serial plate but can't seem to find one?

masseyjack590 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 i'd guess at 520 the number on the discs thats what ours are but they are trailed though is the plough a vogel and noot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 i'd guess at 520 the number on the discs thats what ours are but they are trailed though is the plough a vogel and noot Thanks Jack, could well be a 520.......Yes the plough is a Vogel & Noot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that trailer is a handful on your tight Scotish roads mate :of Ah thanks Marky (just nabbed a brochure for the 28s off Stephen M on Ebay ).......Indeed they ten boxer tattie trailers can be difficult to get around some of the tighter spots , just need to keep your cool though and guide them through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Fairly busy on the farm at the moment....... Had to disc in the rest of the unharvested barley from the LMO scheme but put the discs on the 6480 as part of the field is a very steep slope and didn't fancy having the unncessary weight of the loader....... This then allowed the boss to get ploughing - up until the point where he hit some series stones....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 So off I went with the trusty 3095 to remove the offending objects....... Also in the process of blocking up part of the old cattle court to make a water and wind tight shed for all these new trailers so went to local block manufacturer Laird's of Forfar Also this week mamanged to sell three loads of our excess silage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Was back at the docks in Dundee today to unload 2500 tonnes of Yara Sulphurcut fert with another three tractors and trailers Then went off to finish the endrig which the boss abandoned when he hit the stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 blimey mart that must have been a hell of a rock to bend it that well, i asume its shear bolts that have gone or wa sit more damage Each furrow bracket is held on by four ball-ended bolts Sean, it snapped off one of the ball ends causing the furrs to move which in turn bent the auto-reset bar a bit.......

NewHolland2 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Been a wee while since it was sown but thought I'd best put up a few of the pics of the drill once we got it all set up this year....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Nice update Mart...only one question... why does the sowing looking so dead straight ??? ....I thought MF's had a tendency to travel in a curved direction....but then again its maybe depends on the driver ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 that a new front press to mart?? looks a nice set up i must say, good to see you getting stuff done rather than using contractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
