PDC Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't think its changed much Paul, I caused chaos trying to get through there with a 3m wide Terra Disc Friday which was fun For those that don't know it, its a very narrow little coastal village popular with second home owners, buildings are right on the edge of the road and theres a couple of nice sharp blind bends thown in for good measure, not the best place to get through with machinery I know exactly what you mean Gav when they were working on the sea defences I took a 21ton digger up there I need all the road and the pavements to get round them corners when I picked it up I went back Sheringham way on a hot summers day that was quite eventfull too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I hate to tell you this Paul but the sea defence has washed out just over from where I was ploughing last Thursday so you might have another trip there at some point :D There is another way we can get to the fields at Salthouse from Langham but it involves a narrow 3.2m wide 18t mgw bridge, can just squeeze over it with the Terra Disc and Vaderstad but got to get it right, just easier going down the coast road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Earwaker Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 thats some big headland you have left there Gav!!! (picture above loader shovel on page 72) anybody would think you had a big 7 furrow semi mounted plough i can normaly swing her round and do about 3-4 passes with a marking, although if i can be arsed she gets swung around and only do 2 plough widths on headlands like that, nice vid tho btw, bit like mine isnt it \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 I leave a big headland so all my ins and outs are the inside of the headland tramline, makes it smoother for spraying then I had a friend come out and see me today so she took some pictures of me drilling the first field of Tipple spring Barley Yes that is dust blowing too, just to rub it in John :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 A few pictures from yesterday drilling No GPS in use here The headlands all driiled, all 4.5 ha of them The field finished, 12.3ha but drilled area was 13ha, big difference made by all the scoots. Looking out towards Blakeney Point Breakfast time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 why do you sow the headlands 1st?? we done that with the trailed massey drill but with the power harrow drill combo now they are done last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 We waste less seed that way with overlaps as to turn the drill round sensibly you need 18-20m, only drill them first if the ground is dry enough to take it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
