Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 No tractor can handle like a shovel on the pit, fact. Or if anyone wants to argue that...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Why do they carry jeeps and trucks around? Too lazy to walk? Or is so that they can drive it home when there for a few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Why do they carry jeeps and trucks around? Too lazy to walk? Or is so that they can drive it home when there for a few days? We always used to carry a van around on our low loader with the diesel when I worked for a silage contractor, most contractors here leave the kit on the farm they are working on at nights and don't return to base with them hence why they need a vehicle to get them back to base every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Most over here get the customer or his wife to bring the workers home - not unheard of to see SWB jeeps with five men in the back, driver and usually forager driver in the front :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Blimey, looks like that silage contractor bought a whole new fleet this year!! I just feel sorry for the guy on the clamp though, I mean if he needs all those lights on during the day, he must be blind as a bat at night!!! ;D I do like that service trailer though. Nice to see another buckrake too, 200hp and a three tonne lift ain't going to be matched by many loaders Great photo's Graham, as always of course. You have been around some interesting places by the looks of it. I love the harbour photo, very colourful and postcard like. Keep us updated, I like all these 'at work' topics we do on here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll settle on a Piste Bully wins all http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=22288.0 im no expert but i would like to see it push a 18t load of silage up a 45degree sloap brfore the next one gets there and that has three other tractors helping and its not pushing much and ist not a very steep sloap and its maize which is easier to clapm unlike grsass in my oppinion it dosent all bunch and lump like grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
