Gav836 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Fairly busy as weather allows ploughing for this years beet crop and spring barley. Still have a lot of beet in the ground at the minute. Yes we have the Ropa here, not very popular with us though as it leves the ground muddy, wet and unworkable down the headland they are tipped on. Got the old cleaner and Hanomag coming next time though as the fields are unreachable by lorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 A few pictures from this week so far. With it being wet I've started to overhaul the spud gear ready for planting, only thing with a clean bill of health is the Grimme planter, the destoner is rather sick needing two new hydraulic motors and numerous sprockets, chains and bearings, the ridger just needs wearing metal changed. 6920s on Reekie ridger Grimme GL32B planter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 The destoner, 1999 Grimme CS1500 The big sprocket here could do with seeing a dentist....... ....as could 3 of these ones, they should look like the one on the bottom right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
