Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks Gav! Love that TVT! So you not at a contractor at the moment? The driver loves it too, it got stopped halfway up a very steep hill by a red traffic light harvest time with a Bunnings 18 ton trailer full of wheat (about 23 tonnes with trailers weight), that hill kills a tractor anyway when you just drive up it without that happening. He reckons he stuck it in low range, floored it, the front suspension lifted right up, there was a big cloud of black smoke and the old thing heaved away at the grand speed of 5kph, it was a struggle though so she has some grunt! Not a contractor at he min, working on models and delivering oil 2 or 3 days a week self employed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Plans to get back in to it at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nice pics mate our beet harrow was front mounted on a home made front frame which lifted it straight up no linkage arms saved all day with a twisted back and neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Plans to get back in to it at some point? Always looking, been turned down for two so far this year \ Nice pics mate our beet harrow was front mounted on a home made front frame which lifted it straight up no linkage arms saved all day with a twisted back and neck Cheers mate. I had a trick for that, I never looked behind me, if you look at the pictures you can probably see the wing mirrors are angled downwards, I used to have them set so I could watch the track of 1 hoe unit in each mirror to make sure it was on the rows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Nice pictures mate, quite the fleet your old contractor has. Great to see again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 The whole fleet has long since been sold off now, only the odd bit or two of the original kit is still there Managed to find the topic I posted up of the Lexions and CR980 all working together in my last harvest there......knew it was here somewhere http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=10518.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great topic Gav. You realise what a profound effect the lack of a real summer last year had on you when you see photos of a proper harvest. God I miss it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You even had me reminiscing over the good old days Gav and I was never even there!!! Just remember you posting them up before and telling us all what you were up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Summer is coming, tractor based job? I think so! Ask at your local contractors Gav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Summer is coming, tractor based job? I think so! Ask at your local contractors Gav? Already have one or two in the pipeline for the summer if I aren't sorted before then. Both involve big baling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Sounds good, what else would you like to do apart from contracting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've just applied for a job today still in the farming industry but on the other side of the hedge in machinery sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
