NewHolland2 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Is the 525 still in yearly use? If so pictures in the summer? Please Mart Didn't use it last year as we got an old New Holland 80 series in but we hope to use the 525 and 525 Super II and do it ourselves this year........ Some great looking cattle you have got there, those AA calfs look crackers. I see you use the metal tags as the second tags is there any reason for this? We use the round button tags as the second tag and the 2 farmers down the road use 2 big tags, I take it most of it is personal choice? Thanks mate........No particular reason we use the metals, we're actually considering doing away with them for future tagging and using the button type as the second tag as if the yellow one is missing the metals can be a pain to try and read........ that boss of yours has real taste mart, fergy kit everywhere isnt there mate Massey's everywhere Sean, it's beginning to convert me........

BC Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I always think the steering system looks odd on these 175's. Nice looking machine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know what you mean Bill, apart from an oil leak and a missing wing mirror she's all there, we always keep the side panel at the battery off for ease of access........ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
