Richard de Florennes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Väderstadt drill look great combined with the John Deere (ore vice-versa). However, there seem to be a lot of stones in that soil. Now I know why you need de-stoners over there at the other side of the North Sea ;-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Been ploughing a nasty little field today where the soil won't scour so its been sticking to the mouldboards and making it hard work.....unfortunately it is also a wet field.......bosses son was topping the set aside on there this morning, I'd just put my plough on when I looked across and saw he'd bogged the 6810 and topper, good start to the day at 8.30 am : Unfortunately he done it again at midday Which led to this happening when I tried to pull him out Boss managed to pull me out with his 6420s no problems as I'd stopped before I went in too far, we then chained mine to the 6810 and the 6420s to the front of mine and hauled it straight out with little trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Didn't have to plough the set aside, only the stubble, wasn't too bad just hard work in the fluffy patches, no wet holes there that I didn't know about from when I baled it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 who rescued the topper first time he got bogged down? I dragged it out backwards with a chain before pulling him out the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 No wonder it is down as set-a-side. Better to laugh it off on a day like that mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 And I thought some of the tracks in the fields we had were bad - Gav has beaten us to it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 A bit overdue but a few pages back I promised I'd get some pictures of the new cattle yard parts so here we are. We finally found some builders willing to do the job and they've made a start with rebuilding walls and erecting the feed barriers this week These bits are all parts for the bull pens and are bl@@dy heavy We now have our potato grading line set up as well, bit of a mismatch but it does the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 We also managed to get the Standen Vision fixed this morning so I've got you a few pictures of that as well, standing still to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You mean they let you loose with a harvester??? :D Only kidding mate, looks like a good job doe by all. Nice to see the deere running again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 ooooooooh yes I'm the harvester operator, no one else can master my tractor for one thing :D Done about an acre so far and lifted between 20 and 25 tons of spuds so looking like a good year for them. The Deere is a sore point after having yet another visit from the doctor during the week for a oil leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 looks like a good crop as you say mate, not seen any spud lifting round here yet, but did see kit being dragged out of the barns before i left for the holiday so another jd doctor trip eh, do you think they will call it quits with it now??? must be costing a small fortune to run with all the faults she keeps producing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 It wasn't too major this time, well it would have been worse if it had of been left but just a pin ***** hole in the load sensing pipe on the back end of the tractor, cost more in labour than parts, can't see it getting changed for a while yet hough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
