Deere-est Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks guys, yes the variety is brilliant. As of this week I will be on standby for maize harvest and when I get the nod be piloting the TM155 on the pit again now that the front linkage has been repaired and the buckrake strengthened. Also due to start at the firewood yard again from the end of this week whenever I am not on maize and then for the majority of the winter months through to March. :) Yes the Angus is a smashing looking beast, bloody moans though!! Easy to work with he is though, goes where you want him too and doesn't cause any fuss. Yesterday I had a trip out to a feed mill to pick up some calf nuts. There was a 6180 on a P plate in the yard with 9000hrs on the clock so I chose that to go with. Had a funny readout on the computer though, not sure what it mean't but it wasn't very flattering for the old girl!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 That's just it Blake, it is difficult enough being in farming when someone says "What do you do for a living" but on top of that there is still more! It has been nice to be getting to work with livestock again properly too, tomorrow we are ultra sounding the cattle. One thing I do miss still is groundwork, drilling especially. Havn't done any for a main few years now since I used to do it all on a 500ac arable farm between '98 and '01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks for sharing your photos with us Tris, especially love the cattle photos and that steam tractor was a good find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks Scott. They do have some lovely cows there and the bulls too. Scanning put the herd at 87% in calf so the aim next year is 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Think the newer MF's still have the same readout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 More updates! Starting with a few more photo's around the yard back at the exporters place. I will now be there two days a week, mainly lowloader work which will be trips to the docks and sale grounds to drop stuff off and then return trips via farms, sale grounds or anywhere else there is machinery that has been bought and is awaiting collection. A little 135 possibly? Stripped and washed and ready for breaking up for a rebuild. Interesting spool valves on this one too, I have never seen that before.

Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 A refurbished MF690 awaiting shipping and also a very genuine and locally bought Fendt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 An old Volvo cattle lorry. The lorry and the body have since been sold separately in the UK I think. Another consignment of MF290's waiting for a container or two to be packed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just a random shot really, I went off to move the creep feeders after having a shift round of the cattle. Quite innovative I thought! Another of the 698T with the Spearhead, which is done with for another year and washed off and parked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 MF698T parked in the shed after a days work and along side, her smaller cousin the MF550. A trailers having been brought in from a supplier. They are old chassis with new bodies and tipping gear on them, for the exprt market again mainly.

Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Another two finished machines, a 4wd 290 (probably of 590 origin) and 595 which I have to say I think looks quite smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Although the paint is peeling a little, a very straight and early New Holland 1530 and a much later John Deere 1177 await their fate. An MF31 turned up last week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 A straight and original 265 in the park and a 590, bit of cab rust but then I expect that will be cut away anyway and she will end up a 290 export model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Some dung I was doing there a week or so back with the 6180 and 12t Richard Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Some tidy balers have been appearing over the last couple of months, mainly New Holland 377 and MF models. Even an old Fiat adds a splash of colour to the red yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
