MODELFARMER Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Gav wash out your mouth with soap and water 30 series autopower is a whole different kettle of fish, real dream to drive, our 6620 autoquad was chipped to 175hp on shaft, our 6930 autopower was the same when new(not chipped) and she is well into a tonne heavier and shes flying up hills far harder than the 6620 did at the same horses, might be something to do with gearbox i suppose too but i'm well pleased, someday our 6420s autoquad will go for a 6630 autopower, with something like 650 tyres on it :P only thing i have againest my 6930 s i didn't put 50k in her :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 How the hell did the stockman manage to put that size of a hole in the mudguard of the 6810 with a spud box? Thought you were going to blame the student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I would imagine the force of an empty one ton spud box falling on it would do that easily......he's no longer with us either now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Got tired of looking at the faded paint on the 6810 so gave it a coat of polish on Monday, looks much better for it I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Do the bu**er yourself, I don't do my truck so I'm not doing your car I only done the 6810 as it was showing the other 3 up being a dull pale green instead of bright and shiney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 As it was such a lovely day today I thought I'd get a few pictures of our cows after we moved them onto 45 acres of Swift kale/forage rape hybrid. The fence is advanced to halfway between the next pair of bales each day, we were then putting the fence up for tomorrow when I took the pictures. We always have to strips fenced in each day, gives a little extra security in the event of them breaking through the first one The first two pictures were taken about an hour after they went on there so think they'd been busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not been much going on a work lately, I was ill for the two weeks before Christmas so wasn't there anyway, all we've been doing is grading spuds out of store for processing and for the past couple of days mucking out the cattle yards and getting them ready for the cows to come in on Monday morning. We are also changing our current Standen Vision for a 2005 Standen Vision XS if the machine is as good as it looks in the pictures and as the salesman says it is. It's only lifted 150 acres a year on fenland silt since new so its in exceptonal condition and should last us years. We've provisionally said that we'll have it even though we haven't looked at it yet as its too good to miss out on with other people being interesd in it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
