Deere-est Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ipswich is not all that regular in all fairness, you're far more likely to see me down your way Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well Luke, it's funny your should say that because here they jolly well are. .. ... albeit somewhat later than usual! Collecting a baler from a farm near Wimbleball Lake in Devon. And the hedgetrimmer came back with me too. All via a track about 1 mile long, rough and pretty narrow, wet and steep in places.

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Another little rigid job near Tetbury which saw a 4600 and a 4000 being collected. Neither started so the first one I pulled up with the crane as it is quicker than the winch, the second one in another area of the yard I used the winch. Firstly, out with the old and in with the new. Pulling the first one up with the crane. Handy thing is with the crane is obviously you can steer the tractor, the winch has no remote control like the one on the artic so you have to keep correcting the wheels manually. And the second. Not in the easiest places either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Off to a local farm now to pick up another non runner, a little International. The farmer was free between milking so he steered for me. While a contractor was tanking away from the lagoon with a hired in Joskin and his own MXM140, the farmers own new Massey something on the stirrer. Nice looking machine and a 60 plate too, he has always had 100hp MF loaders (thereabouts) for as long as I can remember, changing frequently too. Cambridge now and a few other hauliers in to load and/or unload. R420 with a nice Marshall on the back, this was being delivered for the forthcoming sale at that time. And a 124G 420 with a hefty crane which delivered a load of machinery and left with this spreader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Last couple from Cambridge, tractors lined up in a bit of the chily white stuff. A Belarus from Keighly near Bradford, another one from near Dewsbury and then a 7610 from a farm just south of Leamington Spa, that was an overnight job. Nice to get a distance drive for a change. West Yorkshire isn't regular for us! The little JCB 3t machine picked from a hire job and a little 4610 collected from a local dealer. And thankfully, the little Fiat I picked up from Wales a while back is still around so any spare hours I have had have been chainharrowing with it, nice change.

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Now at Wessex Sale, Shaftesbury where I unloaded spares from the rigid. While the chap next to us had these two classics onboard along with a very tidy TM190. The girls who joined me for the day. Then it was away to Okehampton direction to collect two balers from a dispersal sale the day before. Some sensible chap had towed them up from the boggy field for us. . .. and put them in a barn One end I could just about get along side, the other end I could not. Just a good job the ramps went under the lean-to behind us. Using the crane I could steer the baler as I pulled it out of the shed and then alongside and slightly forward of the lorry, unchain it, move the lorry forward and then swing it around and over the bed, plonk it down and use the crane to roll it along the bed to the rear. ... Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 The Claas was even more fun, having to use the crane fully extended, the chains fully extended and a flipping ratchet strap to pull it in, in three stages and then the same again, turn it around put it down infront of the lorry, move the lorry then lift it on the the bed in reverse so the drawbars ran side by side. Grubbypup! Subsequently, a very tired pup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Couple of 240's in the yard awaiting shipping. Not done that regulary but nice little tractors all the same. The new beef shed up and now awaiting the interior installations and groundworks. Some of the sucklers with their calves. And some of the 60 odd stores. A new and pretty robust looking creep feeder ready for the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
