farmernick06 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Saw this over the fields again tonight, seemed a bit unusual and a bit different wondering what it was? Obviously a roller but not sure about the back? Was preparing ground for more herbs to be planted Will have a look for more herb equipment ( Sorry for the quality of the first two pictures, i thought it was a German driver as he gave me a really evil look and the germans hate me with a vengeance over there ) :( It turned out it wasn't actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Im really not sure, theres like a kind of pecking order over there: The english drivers with the 7920s, 7430s, 6920S, 6820s, etc etc, The irrigation guys, Germans. John Deere 5720s or McCormick CX105, Spare drivers with odd jobs like mowing same as above Pickers Eastern european or Asian And then one day the irrigation guys especially this fat german guy decided to hate me and everytime i walk past they give me really dirty looks and start talking in German when i walk by and laughing > Then lower than them just hate me anyway because .. well i don't know and then the English guys are alright but some get annoyed at me taking pictures \ Im not too popular :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Maybe they're doing something wrong if they don't like photos being taken : Mind you, you do get some who are just miserable \ Take them anyway untill you get told to stop As long as you stay on the footpath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks Belarusfan, thats my method so far. All on footpaths but lately the irrigation guys have been giving me dirty looks so i just give them a cheesy grin. I've not been told to stop or to go away ever and if i do i will. And thanks for being so optimistic about my future Will :D Don't think there that extreme :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I steer clear of people like that but fortunately most of the drivers are around my Dads age so it's quite easy i find to interact with them if you get what i mean. Thanks for the kind encouragement, really appreciate it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 when we were silageing one year at Fairlight Place farm with the JD 4650 & Mengele SH40N there was a lad sitting on his wall at the bottom of his garden at Coastguard cottages first time round watching us pick up 1st cut so I gave him the thumbs up from my Ford 7600 trailering along side. When we turned back round for the next row he was still there and as we passed Trev flicked the spout up and blew him clean off the wall absolutely perfectly over top of my trailer!! I doubled up, only to find Trev hadn't even seen him let alone done it on purpose! It was such a short sharp flick, instantly corrected, I was sure he'd done it on purpose, as we seldom spilt any grass.We got to know the lad quite well over the years and I believe he works at Plumpton College..Dave Hayes I think was his name.....probably still is Fortuneately he fell back into his garden and not the nettles that were the field side.

Interesting story Nigel, sounds like a bit of bad luck really .. just goes to show how farm accidents can happen. Im definetly more aware of everything going on machinery wise, like a few years ago i would happily stand next to a topper in action, now i've come to reliase that things flick up etc ... but i feel im starting to know the drivers now. So thats good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
