graham Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I did a couple of egg deliveries this morning. This afternoon went topping a 12 acre field of rough grass next to an old watermill but I forgot to take the camera. Took these pics when I got back to the yard. That's the JD and topper that I was driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I will get some pics of all this connected together soon. When it is altogether it is 85ft long, I don't know about soil compaction but it weighs 45tonne. The tractor is an awesome bit of kit she is fully loaded. Even got a dvd player in it. It has got more television screen then a bang oulfsen shop. ;) Gav's made nice models of the cultipress Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 it has a differant joystick to that rich ithink he bought it last summer seems a nice little machine they like it. i think he was express customer marcus when we put parlour in i think milk was coming back down your way then in 2005 but now the driver told me he takes it back to sheffeld park in sussex sheffield park ! i don't think they process much there now as most of it is transhipped onto liners bound for oakthorpe (palmers green ) Nr totenham , or back down to portsmouth spent many a night at sheffield park , usually because of the plant breaking down , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
