jdc Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice steady job that, Marcus. She does look well with those bigger rear tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice steady job that, Marcus. She does look well with those bigger rear tyres. thanks john , i'm thinking about a visit to ron greets again to have a look through his tyre heap , maybe if the price is right a possible wheel tyre combination up yo 32 / 34 in rims , maybe it'll be cheaper than looking for new or part worn tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 well dung spreading is upon us again , so popped next door to ask the farmer if we could borrow his spreader , the reply was "sorry no ,i cant keep lending my machinery out !" now then lets put things into perspective , we last borrowed the spreader this time last year for approx 3 hrs :D in which time i greased the bearings & pto shaftuj's tightened the drive chain & bolted some beater chains , ,so effectively it went back to him in better condition that we received it ! so nothing else for it but to find a fork & some willing drivers & spread it by hand \ i took the floor out of the transport box & just backed into the heap at speed to load the box then drove out to the fields & let one of the kids drive while i did the rest , bill meanwhile was taking some out with his bucket on the zetor once done all was then chain harrowed in but didn't get pics of that bit i did this all bl00dy after noon , blimey i'm so unfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Marcus pop next door one night, ungrease his spreaders pto, slacken off a few bolts and beater chains and then stand well back next time he uses it. Or send him a bill! Is his surname Duck, or is he called Bill all anything? He sounds like a right tight **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 ? not quite sure what you mean nick ? to me the 165/ 168 were always termed as big tractors , but not quite that big \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just mark looks like smaller on that or did i only see him on small things so he looked bigger than he is.... ill shut the door on the way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just mark looks like smaller on that or did i only see him on small things so he looked bigger than he is.... ill shut the door on the way out quite decieving isn't it , i suppose compared to modern tractors the 100 series tractors are small , isn't till you sit on it that it becomes a large machine again , bit like marks 240 it's a small tractor because it really is a small tractor the mid power oldies are usually a bit inbetween , not big enoung to be BIG but too big to be small....................... i'll join you nick i'll just get my coat ............................
