Deere-est Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks lads, yeah all is well. Another crappy day today though as I got to the yard at 7.30 to head up to Paeorao to start peat harvesting but as they broke the Fendt yesterday we couldn't do owt, so the day was spent arsing around the yard doing nothing. Organisation with this lot is unreal, I have to be honest \ Hopefully tomorrow we will do some peat and Saturday I will be doing a silage clamp with the 414s behind a forage wagon. That could all change though!!! Once things get going and the work is less sporadic it will all make sense!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be doing any truck driving No truck driving mate no You should see the outfit's out here, 8 wheelers with 8 wheel drags are just as common as Ford Escorts at home!! Thay look the biz aswell. I am trailering mainly on the peat harvest with a bit of silahe/hay making inbetween. Have a few pics but will wait untill I have more of an order as to what they do for peat harvesting untill I post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy as larry. The one on the peat pulls like a train mate, no joke. I think I am having the 6290 soon though which I'm not over happy about, I'd rather have the old Maxxum 5140 than that, my opinion could soon change though. I'm happy enough on the old 80 though, she has the biggest trailer with triple super singles on all corners so the resistance in the peat in pulling effort is unreal but she still bores on like. The other have more ponies and smaller trailers on dual terra-tyres, much less effort. Goes to show the old 80 is a beast even now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my girl, the good old 6180 :D They do pull pretty good I must say, must be a decent Perkins in that series Mine can handle an artic full of silage bales pretty well and theres some weight on that especially when theres 0% DM in them! I just wish the gear sticks were arranged a little better than were they are now. I think you'll be happy with the 6290 if our Case 5130 is anything to go by, the old 51's aren't the best pullers in my opinion. The 5140 has the turbo though which our 30 sadly lacks, I think thats half the problem a nice comfy tractor though none the less more so than the MF's in my humble world. Glad your enjoying it mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 tris boy in my opinion the 6290 wud be streets ahead i think their a lovely yoke to drive, the guys im with now have a 5140 and i dont think much of it at all to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Glad to keep fellow members happy Nath mate Yeah the back to front gear sticks are a bit of a "What the f***?!!!" but otherwise yep, a good 'ol bus!! The 51 series Maxxums are damn good old tractors aswell, a popular machine round Somerset way and we had to 5140's at college aswell. The back end makes an awfull whine all day long but they are built tough and go on forever, the awkward bit with the Maxxum I can see with this peat job though is when we are going down the field away from the tipping heap we reverse while loading off of the elevator, which as everyone know's is where the Maxxum's fall fowl with there rear mounted air con/blower unit!!! But no, sorry Alan buddy, not my most favourite tractor the 62, but we'll see mate she may not be too bad in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
