pudding Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 hey nothing wrong with mCcormick my ole man has a MTX125, loves it, wouldn't swap it for anything great fleet, i know a lot of 'beasts' in NZ, same as that one, farmers/contractors have got so emotionally attached to them, they can't part with them ............that style of magnum was the best built, new ones are ok, and i like them lots, ha ha!.....but as the hours creep up they are not easy to get under the cab etc, and i have got angry and thrown my spanners at one already......ha ha!

Hang on a minute there you forgot to say that most of your land was under a few feet of water a month before so i think any tractor pulling a class 2200 would have had the same trouble And if you join us this time you can be my r wrapper ***** ps edd could you post up the pics of the xtx 185 up to the axles in the water at above farm please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batcher Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 When it starts getting soft underfoot and you are travelling at speeds of 15k plus theres not really much you can do when following rows apart from going with the flow and with the bailer as heavy as they are and the chamber full as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 yeah but with ruts this long you would have thuoght it might get stuck!!! and my dad did tell him it was wet!!! Yeah but after this far and with a quadrant full I would of pulled out long before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah but after this far and with a quadrant full I would of pulled out long before. I think I'd have got stuck as well because with the baler in that deep you'd twist or even rip off the pick up or damage the axles trying to turn out ruts like that. I dropped in a couple of times baling last harvest but kept going forwards with the theory that you're bound to find hard running again, besides a lot of the time if you try and reverse yourself out with something that heavy it will only drop in deeper then you're stuck in both directions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
