MJB1 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 change of staff :D, the sheperd andy is now a driver for MVF , he told me , the staff were made redundant , so the college could change to a NZ style farming , this is fine but cannington is to wet for a NZ system, so appointments have been made to recruit new staff to do the jobs that the old staff had just been made redundant from :D , i think the new owners , bridgwater college had a very steep learning curve themselves when they took cannington college on ., same as many new owners of established company's ,they think they know best & don't listen to the people that know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Nice pics Luke, good to see you back :) so do you guys have regular machines during the silage work or do you have to take turns doing each task etc. ??? \ When we were doing it ourselves with the trailed machines we all had a go on whatever, but 2 of us carried on a few more days on set machines working with the contractors! And it's good to be back Holmes Christ Luke was the 77 that bad?!!!!! :D :D :D Stunning photos in this lot too mate, nice camera work Umm pretty much! Haha, loves getting stuck in gear (not operator error, even the slightest smoothest shift jams it up) back end is whining like anything, currently has no exhaust, the back window has never been shut, and the top has like a 4ft crust of the farms TMR diet on it! inside the cab it's as messy as you like! It's on a M plate. The TS is on a 03', so no comparison really! The 77 is a guttsier tractor hauling uphills though. change of staff :D, the sheperd andy is now a driver for MVF , he told me , the staff were made redundant , so the college could change to a NZ style farming , this is fine but cannington is to wet for a NZ system, so appointments have been made to recruit new staff to do the jobs that the old staff had just been made redundant from :D , i think the new owners , bridgwater college had a very steep learning curve themselves when they took cannington college on ., same as many new owners of established company's ,they think they know best & don't listen to the people that know Andy Don't get me started on him, what an ass. All the new staff are so much better focused to the job and the changes have been big, and getting rid of the pigs has payed off, new parlour going in before christmas, so the college is just getting stronger and stronger really.
