At work with MX DRIVER

[Deeredriver]

here is a few pics from work

first of all is our crap spreader a 20 ton rear discharge on a Mack truck

second is the loader i use to load it with doesnt take many buckets full

[Deeredriver]

this is our mx 270 with a rolling stalk chopper smashing down last years maize stalks

[51MON]

that looks a boring job on that little bus

[Deere-est]

Bring us more!!!!! I saw lods of those spreaders around out there but never saw one working.

Do you mean it is a spreader which spreads crap or a spreader which is crap?!

[Deeredriver]

HAHA both mate ha ha!

i will get some of the job it does its crap ha ha! only spreads about 10ft wide and not very even mate

i have to spread at 12mph to get it kind of even

i been hauling to one of our fields its 11 miles from where i load so far i have took 76 loads and not quite done half of the field

the place i get the crap from is a feedlot here where i live 10,000 head of cattle we can have as much crap as we want for free we just got to take it away

the ground here could use it  so we try and take as much as we can

that loader is good to drive though it has some power i wanted my wife to video me loading but as usual she was late and i got the truck loaded by the time she brought my dinner

[Deeredriver]

yesterday i had to go to the dealers and  pickup our new maize drill

a pretty long drive home with this on the back 70 miles

16 row stack fold wide tall and heavy

[51MON]

very  nice there nick how much do they cost

[Tractorman810]

70 miles, thats a long way to go to pick a bit of kit up, wouldnt they deliver it for you then?

[Deeredriver]

i think about $6000 per row so whats that about $96,000

he did trade in a 16 row too i know this dealer was $8000 cheaper than our closest one

[51MON]

geee how much maize do you drill mate.e

[Deeredriver]

well we had to take the old one up there plus they wanted the tractor  to set up the new one

also we dont have anything big enough to unload it it weighs a ton

even with them weights on and the assist wheels on the back of the planter it still was light on the front

[Deeredriver]

we have about  5600 acres this year 1100 acres are down to wheat

so the rest will be planted to maize ,beans , milo and sunflowers wich that planter can all plant just have to change over the seed discs

[51MON]

blimey  that seems a small tractor for the states nick thought you were big over there

[Deeredriver]

Were pretty much notill so we dont need a lot of hp our biggest is the mx270 that pulls  the 7 leg subsoiler 32 ft discks 30 cultivator and the 30 ft no till seed drill

i cant remember  what the hp is of an 8310 is

we will get really busy here pretty soon

[51MON]

[Deere-est]

Looooooook at that gorgeous tractor up front 

Hell of a drill Nick, looks like a big old bit of kit folded up like that. How long a day did you have there, setting up and getting back then?

[Deeredriver]

51mon

we didnt cut any last year  but the year before it was a drought so the maize didnt have any ears on it so we chopped a lot of acres we had a bloke in with a 880 claas and a kemper header
