FW Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thought I'd better start a new topic for they year to share what I've been up to lately and attempt to keep updated throughout the year. Firstly are some pictures I took last week of my annual chain harrowing campaign and am on about 90 acres so far, but plenty more to do. Quite plesed with the finnish that this set leave as a whole and will also prevent thistles and nettles untill at least late summer which is far better for the grass and makes the place look much tidier, but the difference in the quality of grass is pretty superb......

FW Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Not really, but we are always on the look out for a MX110 with a nice drive-in loader for the right money, just will prove a lot more useful I feel. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thought I had better update this thread after way too long of not finding the time for FTF. Some of the photo's are quite old now, but quite a variation in jobs I feel and I shall try and keep it brief. ;) Firstly, breaking up some winter ploughing for maize back in April..... Next up are a few of my photo's of the annual muck campaign in May and June, this time with the aid of a hired wooten dump trailer, where I was taking over the road to a heap in the field, to spread at a later date when required......

SIMON. Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Smart pics Will nice to see the maxxum out and about again so how much of that dung fell off into the road i guess that's what the fork is on the weights for :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Next up are my Silage photo's which was about 100 acres this year and was done in 4 stages, starting on the 6th June and finnishing on about the 20th July, which as a whole went well with very few troubles. Firstly a few of my mowing photos...... And then some Tedding and Spreading photos........ Next up are a few of my baling shots, which towards the end became rather hard going, as I had been quite ill for a few weeks, so had to call in our contractor to help clear up the last 30 odd acres with me...... And finally a select few of the carting of the nearly 1000 bales, firstly with my new rig......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Next are some of my more recent photos of what I've been up to over the past couple of weeks. Firstly are some snaps of early cultivations on this years OSR stubble, which as a crop this year did remarkably well. Firstly a spot of Mole Draining on the TM 135 and Miles Mole Drainer........ Then I went on to do some ploughing as that's all theat would go in the wet about two weeks ago, with the Valtra T190 and KV 4 Furrow....I know a complete overkill, but the the DP7 was working away on the Magnum........ Finally, are a few I took of discing in front of the plough last week with the MX150 and older Dowdy discs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 The Wheat campaign this year as for everyone else began with a slow start and is continueing so with the disapointing weather, snatching days as and when we can, however disaster struck on Saturday night with an engine fire on the Lexion, which is proving to be both troublesome and expensive, needing a whole new transmission system. The fire scared the life out of me as I was standing on the top trying to unblock the air filters to hear a whoosh and see flames just under my nose. \ :'( :'( However I shall share with you some photos of when we were going last week..... My outfit- MX150 and AS 12 Tonner..... And then the third runner used ocassionally when getting tight....... And finnally a mid-night shot down the yard whilst on the drier on friday night.......

robl12 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Some nice kit you have there will. What are you doing about the combine? have you got an old spare or will you have to get the contractors in? How much do you have in the way of livestock with 1000 bales of silage?

FW Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Will. I can sho you a shiny belt buckle mate...... Beat yours hands down :D How come the merlo left the farm with one grab then has another in the field?? Just try it and it had best not be wone of those silver JD ones. As for bale handlers, the photos were taken on different occasions, however I prefer the elephant trunk in the field as you dont need to stop or slow down so is quicker, but I prefer the ABT in the yard as it allows for bales to be pushed together, making a neather stack. But I don't p!ss about changing them, teand to have the Merlo in the yard and the 885 in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
