tractortim Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the 3125 is a very nice tractor we had it in the workshops then you came and picked it up it will fix easily guarenteed! the morning after you dropped the 3065 off it developed a low range fault luckily it was only the range switch!

Deere-est Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I think the 3125 is sorted now actually so you're right with that, it must have been pretty straight forward. I was down your way for the sale the other week, Tim. It was lashing it down and all the lorries had to go into the sale field.... There was a lot of towing going on!! Cheers Sean and Mark Yes the weather certainly took a turn over the last few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 No we had a 575, 590, 165 and a 7710 or something. Our paths are bound to cross sooner or later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well I must apologise for the absence in updates and general input into the Forum, busy times at the moment and a general lack of enthusiasm towards the hobby but I hope that will swing around a wee bit as the farming year picks up. Anyway, some updates from being out and about in the lorries around the country to start with: First up and easy run down to Tilbury Docks on a typical summers day in the UK, 2012!! With this ex-Cornwall lorry and a Claas Markant both destined for warmer climates. And an even easier back load in the shape of a five disc, disc plough from another exporter near Reading.

Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 A local collection of an old and somewhat retired Ford digger... Thankfully it had already been dragged out of the brambles and the site workers there to put a pad down for a new building duly assisted me in loading the old dog up!

Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Another day in the rigid saw me take this 575 up to a lock up in a shall we say, diverse, part of Coventry!! And then on up past Belper to collect these two from a dealer we do a bit of work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ipswich docks then beckoned, leaving a 698T on the quay side awaiting it's ship. Feeling like the odd one out amongst all the large earth moving machinery awaiting the same boat. From Ipswich it was Boston bound to a farmer who was scaling back his farming due to ill health. The 4wd had been on the farm since '80 and the 2wd since '82, both bought from their first owners. Might be back one day for the 2620 which was in the shed parked next to this weapon which is not for sale but rarely sees daylight, shame. Just up the road was this old timer waiting for the sun. There seemed to be a lot of MF machinery of older years in the area, the chap above had the MF tractors along with a 30 drill and an early conventional baler.

Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 From Boston it was time to head to the East Riding of Yorkshire where I had a night out followed by loading at a dealer near Pocklington. This is his other yard where a varied line up awaited... This winching 774 looked like an appealing buy for someone. All loaded up and ready for the return trip home. A bit of extra space was needed to get all four on so the wind was let out of the 590's fron tyres and I winched it up tight to the nudge bar.

Deere-est Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 And then todays little jolly was down to Devon to a farm sale to pick up these two, a 135 which didn't want to start and a 590 which was in constant use up until sale day. Followed by a spot of lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Just how many miles do you drive a year, Tris? You certainly seem to get around the country north, south, east and west (but not necessarily in that order!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Erm, job to say really Sue. I don't do as many as a full time truck driver but I don't have set routes like many do these days. The truck is an 03 plate and stands on 648268kms after the two day trip which began on 647131kms. Then the rigid I also drive.... So it would ale a bit to keep track of it all. Average full week, maybe 800? Full time drivera would double that I expect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good few miles though, Tris, and over some pretty interesting roads or should I say tracks! Many full-time drivers never have to face those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Nice update Tris, who was the tractor dealer at pocklington? You were only about 8 miles from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 That is the beauty of it, Sue. While not behind the wheel full time, my work is far more interesting and challenging than many of steering wheel attendant jobs for want of a better expression! I think it was Pembletons or something, Pat. They are at Nunburnholme? But this yard was at something Yarn? Just a hamlet north out of Pocklington.

Just a hamlet north out of Pocklington. Ahh yeah, they're part of a big family of 'tractor dealers' for want of a better word best not say too much about that though. Yeah they're from nunburnholme which is the far side of pocklington to us. If you went to the M62 from theirs you will have most likely come past our lane end, on the way to howden.
