nashmach Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Interesting - never heard of them before. Looks a good bit stronger than say a Richard Wester or even K2 probably comparable with a Bunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 they are the guys who haul them round in pairs on unimogs aint they gav?? Yeah thats them, they delivered this one by Mog this morning Interesting - never heard of them before. Looks a good bit stronger than say a Richard Wester or even K2 probably comparable with a Bunning Definately a well built and well thought out machine, right down to the auto oiler on all the chains and bearings at the business end of the machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Gav i heard Agri Hire had got a new Mog U400 or are they still using the old style??? I would imagine the power plant at Thetford are taking most of the poultry muck now??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just caught up with this topic Gav, some nice calves being born mate........

Deere-est Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Big old bus that, Gav. Built by themselves arn't they? Did you collect it or did it arrive via Unimog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the power plant at Thetford are taking most of the poultry muck now??? Was still an old S reg Mog that delivered the spreader today Simon Alot of the muck from the Matthews sits still goes out onto the farms, thi stuff is from the site that joins onto our land and is straw based as shavings were getting expensive. I baled some of the straw for them last year off a couple of the fields we're spreading it back onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Finally found the lead to my phone today so can get a few pictures off there. Here's our MF 135 doing its daily task on the Solus feeder wagon, we've just had to buy some maize silage in off a neighbour as we've got through all our whole crop and grass silage now So hungry they push it all out of the bins as soon as it goes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Despite the terrible weather forecast for today we've missed most of the rain so I've been putting liquid fertiliser on the first wheats all day @ 285 litres/ha of 30% Nitrogen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey Boy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Good pictures Gav like the selection of weights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Cheers guys. There's another weight about the place as well, got a pack weight for the JD too, with all the main tractors having front linkage we need them. Not sure what the little one weighs but the other three come in at 500kg, 900kg and 1250kg, 500kg block only fits the 6810 though as it has wider liftarm spacing than the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Do you rate the Deere sprayer Gav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, its a good, well built sprayer, easy to use and set up, one minor computer fault early on but its been trouble free since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 We'll never part with it Marky, its the only tractor the feeder wagon will go on that allows us to get close enough to the feed bins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash 600 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Do you rate the Deere sprayer Gav? they have a habit of turning over a few lads round here put them on there side and its not driver error either the local jd dealer ship done one them selfs on demo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 There is a warning in the operators manual to keep the wash tank full at all times when the spray tank has anything in it to stop that happen. From what we were told by our dealer its usually the larger 4000 litre models that have turned over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 tidy pics gav, that 135 looks lovely , good to see it used all the time and not just shed bound, never seen a feeder like that before, is solus the maker or just the model name from someone like kuhn or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
