Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I know I've posted some of these pictures up before but as I can't find the relevent topics now I'll post them again. These are all machines belonging to the contractor I worked for up until 18 months ago. 1) The first Fiat I ever drove, a J reg 110-90, had 7200 hours on when she was traded in. 2) The Case 7230 that was bought for me when I went to work there, she'd been opened up to 240hp at the PTO so handled the Lemken 7f and 2t press with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 What replaced the Magnum Renault 836 RZ, although smaller it was still big enough to do the heavy draft work yet much more usefull being able to handle the spreading and rolling as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 110-90 * She looks quite tidy too Gav - but I guess if she had only 1 ram, on the lift a bit light for your operation \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 The Fiat 110-90's replacement Renault 816RZ, a good pulling tractor but gave a rougher ride than my 836 despite everything being set up the same suspension wise. It was never driven hard though unlike mine, it's driver used to dawdle about at less than 15mph all the time so when I did get on it there would be clouds of soot and smut come out of the exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 My friend has his on a 4f reversible at the moment and she is only barely able to handle it with the 2 assitor rams and everything - also had to put a new hydraulic pump on her - lifting the one pass didn't help it last year Was thinking of a Valtra 8350 - hopefuly it won't come to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nice to see a couple of Renault's working away there Gav. I think they looked far smarter in orange than in the Claas colours [as much as I like Claas]. Keep posting them, nice pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 The 110-90's sibling, the F140 on rowcrops with a Kongskilde Vibrocrop beet hoe.....boy did I used to hate that job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That is what I keep telling my friend to buy a nice F140 96/97 - ideal on the 4f and one pass - and the silage trailer ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 that annoys me \ ,people driving at slow speeds ,its ok going to a field to do a 1 man operation ,but carting silage and bales its drives me up wall there is a guy who works on our farm and when carting silage you have to wait at gate for him to come through so you dont catch each other in the lane , most times you get a routine so that you pass in a certain place but when he goes on the silage trailer your on stop most the time waiting in the gate and with the routine theres always a tractor under the forager but with him the forager is on stop too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 1) A shot of our Lexion 460 and a demo Case AFX working together 2) same field, nice view from anywhere on that farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Will have to try and findd my pictures cd as I have a load more, including the 8560 and MX150 from the other farm, these are what the new owner of the business replaced those two with though... JD 7930 on a Discordan TVT175 on a Vaderstad 4m (may be a 190 in those pics as they had one on loan while there's was being built, a sore point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 My mate took these ones, we wanted photographic eveidence of my bosses stupidity that harvest, I was combining Barley which was no where near ready with it having vertical ears in it still....his phrase was "It'll be ready when we get to it". The grain sat in the trailers like a huge lump of Jelly, we thought we may need to rope it in at one point :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Our 460 and the bosses Fathers 460 working together in wheat and beans, there was also a CR980 demonstrator in the wheat field, thats the way to gobble up the acres, 80 feet taked every time across the field, totalling the best part of 180 acres in one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
