farmernick06 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Nice pics again mate......Love that wee 4610...... Interesting way of loading tatties too......Looks to me like the seed tatties are being loaded into the small hopper on the planter and then dropped into the ground......Never knew they did tatties in bulk bags as well as boxes...... I would definitely ask mate......No harm in doing so......There's always something to do around the farm yard even if it is tidying up etc...... Cheers Mart and she is a little beast i do have to admit i've changed my views on the blues and snubbed out the chance to see a 6920S to see her. Well i wouldn't know myself but the tatties are in the hopper and they drop down into two smaller compartments ( each side ). Then a wheel with arms to pick up individual seeds are picked up and dropped into the ground. The wheel that picks them up is powered by the outside wheel. And yeah i should think so they have a huge pond with loads of nature trails, a farm shop, the farm itself and the yard and everything, the marine centre etc. So im hoping he can find me something, but they do do tractor driving lessons up there in a brand new Valtra for 50 for an hour \ \ Might do one if i can't get a job helping out on the farm side.

nashmach Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Nice 4610 but shame about the gearlevers on the steering column Interesting to note too that the hand brake is on the opposite side to ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well as promised got my ride in Valtra with de-stoner, excellent experience for me loved every minute of it. Very dusty my school shirt is now actually brown but who cares. We did 6 rows in about 2 hours \ And the de-stoner faced a few problems on the way with the amount of flint none the less a great trip. Asked about a job, well asked if the farm employed any/many teenagers giving him subtle hints but he said that it would be very awkward for them even odd jobs so not this time but still got some tractor riding and a new farmer friend Would of been nice for a job but im happy A few pics for you i've got a video loading on youtube later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 More great pictures, No JD's in sight either The Valtra's are nice tractors to go in aren't they Nick. The first modern tractor I drove was a Valmet 8*00, very nice and quite a step up from 10 series Fords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i agree they seem to be a very very nice tractor to work away the hours in, i didn't feel uncomfortable alot of gadgets and widgets in there. The driver was happy with it and installed a PA system in there that they hook to their bale trailer in the farm shop when they do tours and stuff. Yup Valtras have definetly impressed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mart it was indeed another amazing evening for it, felt really good would of been good for a perfect summer tune on that would of topped the evening perfectly Yeah he said if i put down my name and number he would see what he can do which is a good step, he said what line of work are you looking for and i just said anything basically preferably on the farm but anything And i got there when he reached the other end and it took him a good 15 to 20 mins to get back down, and the field isn't huge. But the de-stoner kept getting jammed because of the amount of flint \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway found some more green and a few other bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Sound a different type of pipe trailer for Ben today, i don't think my tape measure will fit round this one I'll try and get the other one done for you by the end of the week Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Now onto the green, quite an odd looking thing kind of a cross between a 6820 and a 5720 \ Nevertheless got some pictures with well ..

NewHolland2 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Good pics again mate......The John Deere Looks like perhaps a 6320 or 6420...... The implement on the other hand I'm not 100% sure about...... If it was making the beds it certainly would be a bed-former and it looks to have some sort of rotor blades fitted too...... I'd keep my eyes peeled on that field mate as it may well not be tatties getting put in there, perhaps carrots or parsnips if they're done round your way......If not then it may well just be a different way of constructing the tattie beds I'm not used to......

It's definitely a Rota-Tiller Ben just not 100% sure if it's actually making the beds......I'm sure Nick will be able to enlighten us...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
