NewHolland2 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Our new toy was delivered yesterday......The Massey Ferguson 514 Skid Steer will be used for mucking out the smaller cow pens with it's purpose-built dung grab...... I had a quick drive today and am slowly getting the hang of the steering but the boss did most of the work today just to save time as our Merlo is rather unhappy just now...... :'( Was nice to get back to my wee CAT forklift with a steering wheel...... Will hopefully use it a bit more next Saturday though...... Mucked out a few courts over the weekend so the place is looking better with the big courts to be done during the week I think...... Will try and get pics next weekend when I'm on my own......Time just seems to go too quick to get any...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Never driven a Skid Steer Mart.... they look like sooooo much fun to drive... another first you've got in before me :'( :'( :'( Takes a bit of getting used to having the controls for driving and using the bucket/attachment on the same two joysticks......I'm going to have a wee play about with it next weekend......

MJB1 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Interesting mate, does the skidsteer function like an excavator in terms of using two levers for everything? never driven a MF skid steer before mart , but the bobcats were steered by the levers & loader was controlled by foot pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Interesting mate, does the skidsteer function like an excavator in terms of using two levers for everything? Never had much experience on a 360 axcavaot apart from a wee shot on a JCB but the Skid Steer has one lever on the right and one on the left and they control the forward/backward moving of the machine and also the turning around of the machine and the lifting/tilting of the attachment...... :) never driven a MF skid steer before mart , but the bobcats were steered by the levers & loader was controlled by foot pedals Interesting mate......This Massey is purely controlled by the levers...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 A quick update for you all on the happenings at the end of 2006...... Most of the courts have now been mucked out with the dung piled up in the fields ready for spreading before cultivations start......Just two or three smaller pens to muck out with the Skid Steer loader...... 31 Heifers are being collected in the coming weeks and taken away from the farm so that will lessen the workload slightly, but not much as we will spread the remaining herd out between the unoccupied pens...... The Merlo telehandler is still at the menders trying to have its continuous reversing problem fixed...... My jobs over the past few weeks have included the mucking out with the skid steer, bedding the cows with the bedding machine, feeding them, bringing in bedding bales with the 3095 with loader and generally trying to keep the place tidy...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Our Bobcat at college is controlled by foot pedals, apart from the fowards and backwards and skidding which is done naturally on the two joysticks. good fun skid steers = with the arm raise and no bucket ;D :D Yes, I do have a video of myself doing that, very dangerous I must point out and I don't encourage any one to try it! What is college doing to me !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Is it like the Joal one Mart? MF Scatloader isn't it? It's very similar mate......I've just checked and the Joal model is a 516 and ours is a 514......Massey Ferguson Scatloader it certainly is...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
