Deere-est Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 The cabs only get cut if the buyer wants it shipped via container - which is cheaper than the RoRo's as I understand it. It's a huge shame to see them like that but the buyer knows the score and it'll be welded back on when it lands wherever it is going. The two 290's went to Dumelows as it happens, not a big place. They do similar to Howards but not on the same scale, Howards supply quite a few units for him. Nearly all of those photo's on the Dumelow website are actually taken at Howards!! :laugh: Not sure on the prices, Mark but yes they sell to whoever buys basically. As for the digger, we were so engrossed in it I forgot to fill up my squash bottle with some scrumpy to bring home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Quick update time again! A little load in the yard one of the sons brought back last week. A little International I took down to Sussex to Lord Cowdry's Estate? Ring a bell anyone? I think that's who it was anyway. The gang that bought it wanted it to run a saw bench and a stake pointer. They fell chestnut trees to make fencing out of, really nice craft and they had some smart kit too but failed to get photos. . .. my bad!! A little Kidd for Sean at Shaftesbury . .. very tidy.

Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 The boys at Cheffins doing some unloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 A little job of removing a cracking little Lister/Brush generator near Tiverton and also an MF290 from the same farm. The 3085 has been through the workshop and will now be loved once more in Estonia, I took it to Harwich where there was a brand new Alvin Blanch drier, three Fusions and oodles of JCB's waiting to board ships.

Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 And the baling gang I'm on for on other days (same gang as I do wood for). TM140 raking. T6090 baling. TM155 wrapping which is the my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The wrapper looks like it can be offset Tris and driven to the bales, rather than remain static while bales are loaded on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 It is off set, Chris. Bales are loaded from the font and tipped off of the back. Best wrapper on the market in my belief. It can also be trailed behind a baler with the drawbar semi offset to the near side of the baler and bales ejected from the baler and then picked up by the baler immediately. Brilliant bit of kit. Most wrappers are mobile but remain in line with a side arm loading them onto the table and then once wrapped, tipped of the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So why is'nt the M C hamer towed behind the baler Tris?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 There's two balers to follow, Ol. The chaps I did the buckraking for towed their one whenever/wherever they could with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Super pix again Tris, I should take off from work a week or so and go a long with you to haul some tractors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 A few more updates to tickle your fancies A day trip down Wellington way again to firstly collect some silage sides from the farm where the cider press was and then go to another place where the trailers were along with a variety of tractors. Still got a 20E loader down there to collect at some point. They had each been bought at various places and then moved to one farm who is a family friend, makes picking them up easier and quicker.

Deere-est Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 That said, the bridge leaving the village is a little on the narrow side!!

Jdeere6910 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice update Tris, those NH tractor/balers look really good ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Never been happier if I am honest. Variety is the spice as they say ... Although women never appreciate you saying that when you go out with the lads!! :laugh: No in all serious it requires the hours to make up for no holiday pay and a day off sick is a rarity. Having a house to do up does make it hard work though as you need the money for jobs on the house but then you need the time to do those jobs as well so a fine balance has to be struck. ... Doesn't it Traci . ... ? \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice update Tris, those NH tractor/balers look really good ;D Trust me, they're not! :laugh: Well the balers anyway, they make a superb bale but fall apart making them. Especially now they are made out of soft drink cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
