Gav836 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 thats all part of th fun ;D Not when you're contracting, thats the way you lose customers. We stopped the contractor spreading where I used to work when it was wet as it took too much work to sort the fields out afterwards. When I later worked for that contractor, no one there liked spreading in the wet as it gave the firm a bad name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 but what can you \ contractor needs the work \ the farmer shudnt employ the contractor if he didnt want the field messed up \ It doesn't work like that, you don't ring up a contractor the day before you want them and say can you come tomorrow, you have to fit in with their workload so it may well be too wet when they get to you. In the case of the contractor I worked for they spread in excess of 500,000 tons of much a year with between 6 and 8 spreaders over an area spanning from Chatteris in Cambridgeshire down to the other side of Ipswich in Suffolk, this includes all of Norfolk so there is no way you could guarantee they would get to you in ideal conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I usually end up subsoiling about 15 acres for a neighbour every year, to try to get some structure back in the soil, as he always seems to spread when it's wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Soooo lazy! I spend about half my life at the back of my tractor! We've got 4 tractors and the matbro on 400 suckler/beef and I still spend most of my time behind the tractor or taking pipes on and off the matbro :D They need to design something that connects all the pipes and pto's automatically :D Nice pics Nash, need some floats for your marshall, I see ruts :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We run a Marshall a 105 on slightly smaller boot's and they soon start slipping and digging in when they find a wet spot, we did run her on a set of old combine rears once, but was a bit too wide for most gates, eleaveate the rut problem though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
