FW Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Join the club mate........I've got about 4 months of solid work from silage to grain carting etc between leaving school and going to college in October........ I've only got a 5 or 6 week summer this time, unlike my 12 weeker last year, so I won't be able to half as much as last summer, but I'm not too bothered as it will be the last year, as I'll be into my last year of A-levels and that summer is from June to October and the same when I get to college/uni. Still got loads planned for this summer mind you with 90 acres of silage for us, 60 acres of topping for us aswell, then onto contracting with 65 acres already in the book. Then and inbetween I shall go on with my other Grandads team with the OSR either on Lex 580 as back up driver and evening or grain running full time. When the early Wheat starts, I'm going back on for my Dad, baling and carting straw back to the farm. When I get this done I'm hoping to go on with one of the local straw gangs with my Maxxum and new ML 25ft flat for a few weeks when they're at there busiest. Then back on for my Dad shifting marquees from the yard to the county show ground for his team to start putting up for early September. So I've got a bit planned and I can't wait!

Pingu Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Very nice powerstar, spot on ;) Do I see fendts in there * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 They did have a 714,716 and an 818. They still have the 818, the other Fendts were apparently rubbish on re-sale value so they dropped them 2 in favour of a JD 6820 and a JD 6920s. All the tractors you see in that picture are all changed, all the 6320, and 6520's have been changed for 57 reg models. The NH TM140 has changed to a TS115-A (My drive) And the 818 to an 06' model. The only tractor still in the fleet is the 05' reg JD 6420s, purely because it's been plugged in to the laptop and had lots done so the splitter gears dont reset when changing ranges and its been chipped with further additions that i'm unaware of, but it takes care of all the topping, lots of steep ground (hence the resetting splitter) and looks after all the pheasnant plots. Spends most of the year on dual wheels all round. Mind you it was on silage trailers one day of last year and it had my 6520 for breakfast \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many of them about around this way to be fair. It's all Deeres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
