Jez Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi CTS, where did you get your JD's from or don't you drive them? I live in Burton on Trent but work for JD. Just noticed you had a 6930 and a 840i, hows it going? Great pics, love the one looking from the end of the boom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsboy Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi Jez, who do you work for? You are right in our neighbour hood! The 6930 is my 2nd home i had her in January brand new and have put 854hrs on her so far We deal with both AIS and Farols, the tractor is AIS and the sprayer is Farol.

Jez Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I work for JD near nottingham at the HQ. Looks like you have the dogs balls in your cab mate. 2600, touch screen, very nice! So who do you prefer? AIS or Farols? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsboy Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Its a good outfit bit different when i first got it as last year i was on a Bateman. I prefer Farols, the service is better if they don't know they will do there best to find out, and it dosen't matter what time it is either. But that is just my opinion. I'm sure other people have different views. What do you do at Langer if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the Training Centre teaching the dealer technicians on the service courses we hold. It's a great job. Got all new kit to play with and break then get them to fix it! So who do you work for? What do you do? Sprayer man obviously, i mean are you a full time tractor driver etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thats a hell of a set up mate. I have quite a quiet summer planned. If your on here I may be pestering you for a ride sometime if your boss and you dont mind? Do you ever use guys with their own tractors?

Just out of interest where do you farm. I spent 5 years working at a farm in nottingham. The farm was next to Wells Grain store. Do you ever come across Birds contractors?

ctsboy Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 We are based near Rugerly and cover a good part of staffordshire. No never heard of Birds contractors. Abit further east of us maybe? We do use men and there on tractors some times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But happens to the best of us The 6930 and sprayer stuck spraying wheat Managed to GPS a tramline right over the top of a broken drain > The crust broke and down we went and just sat there spinning in soft pudding.

ctsboy Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thought you'd like that 1 Gav!!! Yeah its the same one as the new Britains one. I put the outfit on the weighbridge the other day and it weighed 12.5 tonnes empty But at the time i did have a full set of wafer weights plus 4 extra to hold the front down when i had the spreader on as it hold 4.7tonne when you have it full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsboy Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 I personally think the 30 sieries is a bets tractor than the 20's, Had no real probs and have put nearly 900hrs on in 4 months, The command centre is good and no where near as difficult to use as some people say. If there is a wet spot you can always bet i will put a tramline ova it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
