Deere-est Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Cheers lads, plenty of pics to come alright. Would you like the scratch and sniff ones? :D Yes it is biosolids, the water board used to put it out to tender and the guys that had it, Carcarc and CSG have now gone. Before them it was Agrivert who I used to work for, it was my first HGV job with as many hours on the side driving 360's, Terra-Gator and Fendt and Tebbe spreaders as I wanted. Had a great team there too. They have all since gone of course but I am looking forward to getting stuck into some high capacity gear again. Shame to miss harvest but then last year I spent most of it on grain cart anyway. The manager said he's honour any work I had outstanding, which may include the TX32 in OSR again like last year for a couple of days.

robl12 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 You be even better pleased Rob if it doesn't rain like last year. Monday was so bad it was cancelled wasn't it Yes last year was a total washout full stop Bill. Foot and mouth outbreak happened 2 days before the show started so all the livestock was cancelled. It then rained on the Sunday night and left the showground a foot deep in water. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i'm sort of looking forward to it \ \ Well I think I taught myself to spray through watching others listening and more importantly trial and error. Preparation is key as the end result will be totally dependant on this. In addition I found the hotter condition's for spraying the better... even having the metal warm helps.... it saves the paint from running ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed Yes I hope the weather is kinder to you this year Rob... it's such a shame for all the hard work done by the organisers and exhibitors when the show does not go on.
