CCF Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 In these pictures set in the spring of 2006, employees at Cider Hill Farms are working to finish spreading their 200 acre field. An IH 5288 makes a good match for the IH spreader to get the task at hand done on time. Loading up the spreader: Spreading the field: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 My first entry for this competition is my dung spreading fleet...... Each year we hire in two spreaders the big Samson SP12/16 and the smaller Massey Ferguson machine......We cover around 200-260 acres of our land with the spreaders, spreading chicken manure which has been transported to the fields by our large tipping trailers from a local chicken farm...... The CAT TH62 is an Agricultural Specification machine but usually spends time at the farmer's other business, a local scrap yard...... The TS135-A was bought new in 2005 and the TM140 was bought new in 2002 and will probably be replaced soon...... 1) Getting Ready for the off......

powerrabbit Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Here on Warren Farm we have to spray the stubble after corn harvest for weed control as the farm lays rather wet. The whole opperation has to be carried out in a short period of time and a large sprayer unit is required as 1400 acres have to be covered. The unit is also contracted out to other farms for grassland and other large areas that need a larger capacity unit for speedy coverage.

smallclaas Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Here's a few pics of slurry spreading in progress. The estate is 657 acres, mainly concentrating on dairy and beef with 200 cows and a 40 cow suckler herd finishing 80bullocks. So lots of slurry! Uisng an abbey tanker drawn by a Fendt 920. Slurry is ferried to a Joskin Quandra drawn by a Fendt 926. Mod:- Garret are we getting pics? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It's late 60s the farm has to main tractors a Fordson Super Major and a Ford Super Major 5000. The Ford 5000 is hauling a FYM spreader and a neighbour is helping out with his new MF135 with a front loader. The farm is milking a mix of British Fresian and Shorthorn cows. The yard built in the 40s is only 20 years in use and still in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
