painter Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 ya he went and saw a jd a fendt and a deutz hauling maize is split between deutz and fendt might be fendt because of better trade in he said the jd was really poor struggled out of the field fendt and deutz were flying he had a 6080 powercommand on demo spreading dung for us there a few weeks ago and said it pulled well but the cab was very plasticy and didnt think it would stand up to much and if it was going to take the battering his old jd do it might be the right decision that he made to give back to them Sounds like the right decision alright,it will be strange to see them running fendts or deutz though,you will e a happy chappy sitting on a new fendt,will you be drawing in or on the rake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Having given a local travel agent the project to find me travel/accomodation for my USA trip they came back to me with "we cannot find a tour to suit". I did not ask for a tour but travel arrangements! Went online again and found American Sky, rang them and explained what I wanted to do and had the reply "You would like us to prepare an itinerary for you? It will take a few days to sort out routes, stopovers and day tours on the way. If the trip is overnight would you want a private sleeper?" Now THAT is exactly what I wanted to hear. ;D USA here I come sometime in May all being well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also noted we were doing lots of work so said we should be able to manage ourselves and he'd be happy to check and certify it later. Mark, anytime.

Sounds great Tris we had one at our lake place years ago, then later we put a pellet stove in, bad choice dirty but assume they are better now days........I bet wood is pricey over there.......I thought the Pilgrams cut all the trees down to build ships to get away from Sean's neighborhood.....
