Kiwi6920 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Cor blimey Nick... I'd LOVE that... so would Frankie mate... or SOOTY as she is called now... I'm getting quite a few smuts out of her just now... she's idling for too long without any real labour :'( I would clean her out good and proper, 3 mtr power harrow and a hill that is steep enough that a quad bike isnt very safe.... She would die of shock proberly :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Well.. what a Frankie filled day I have had today... First... I gets a call from my mate Clive... he's added another rare showmans living van to his collection - Frankie was called in to get her off and parked up in place... It creaked and groaned well coming off - flat tyre didn't help really \ ... anyway... then it's on the my local farmer to get a load of poo for my mate's allotment...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Then it's off to the other side of Cambridge to tip the load... Then a good 10 miles back to the yard for a quick washdown before bedtime... here she is.. all finished and ready for another weeks baling work starting Monday Ohhhhhh happy days... Tris... does this put me in the chod squad... or is this just poo crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh he dirtied the Bailey :D What do you think of the Quicke 45 Mark - I must say its well engineered - my friend has it on his Valtra but I didn't like where he had the joystick and the cover kept coming off it Where is the joystick on the MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 : grat pics mate, I hope you enjoyed the time you spent together with her :o Great time thanks Rath... very enjoyable indeed Oh he dirtied the Bailey :D What do you think of the Quicke 45 Mark - I must say its well engineered - my friend has it on his Valtra but I didn't like where he had the joystick and the cover kept coming off it Where is the joystick on the MF It's not where mF wanted you to have it Colm... the bracket needs 'adjusting' somewhat... we cold bent ours... when I first picked it up it fouled the gear lever.. and the indicator stalk.. As for the loader... very well made... I've got the 100ltr pump doubler on mine so she's pretty damn quick as well... I'm going to buy a bucket for it next week... I only have the forks at the minute As for the Bailey... she's getting a little rough really.. could do with some touch up paint really... very rusty inside as well... my usual cargo of fresh fruit & veg waste is pretty corrosive I believe \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Joysticks seem hard to integrate with tractors nowadays He used to have a Fiat 110-90 with Tanco loader and the joystick was a joy to use - coming up from the floor just beside and in front of the gearsticks - on the Valtra it is horizontal beside the dash which I found awkward to use I must admit When you are buying the bucket buy the medium grade one - the cheap one is not worth it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
