MODELFARMER Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Just for you Marky, as requested some pictures of the Baileys Dump trailer The second pic is of the chassis, at the back are two axle mounted rams that transfer weight onto the back pair of wheels to make it more stable in theory, I was told it usually does the opposite on rough ground \ It puts more pressure back to the tractor, not any better in terms of sideways stability, just put the upwards support nearer the back of trailer. Redrocks have the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrocks have the same yer right again ricky , the idea is to put more weight on the tractor for more grip i'd have thought . hope things will work out here for you gav , a bit more restrained than the contractors workload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sounds like a rough version of the world famous patented MASSEY FERGUSON Pressure control.. It just so happens that I am bidding on a pressure control brochure on ebay at the minute... SHOULD I be lucky enough to win it... prepare for a lecture... after which there will be a short test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent today changing the wheels back to the solid pan ones on the TSA and then muck carting till mid afternoon. I then took over on the Ford 8770 and 6 furrow Kverneland plough, nice to get back to one of my favourite jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 nice and straight gav no seagulls \ Too early for seagulls at 8am but they were present and redecorating the tractor later on mmm aint much soil stuck to the wheels or anywhere ,even the turned stuff looks dry from the pics to me anyway Its dry on top but fairly wet beneath and in the case of headlands they have been sub soiled today to let the water drain, trouble is it worked well and I nearly got stuck as it had turned to mud behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Nice bit of ploughing there! Is that beet ground with wheel marks like that? We always ploughed our beet ground crossways on so as to keep it level. Was a bit frustrating sometimes with very short runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always ploughed our beet ground crossways on so as to keep it level. Was a bit frustrating sometimes with very short runs. Thanks, yes it is old beet ground, all was lifted with a tractor mounted 6 row Garford machine. This field started off with short runs but is nice long work once you get into it. It does plough leveller and helps with grip going cross ways at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
