Lord Ferguson Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well... Frankie is all 'dieseled up' awaiting my bum tomorrow morning for a trip to British Sugar at Wissington... 2.5 hours as an estimate (40 plus miles at a guess) ... I'm off to bale all the plastic from the floor of their 21 acre glasshouse Not looking forward to the drive there and back... but I'm looking forward to the money I'll take my camera if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 At least if she went in the water no damage would be done the amount of polish on it. The cleanest shinest tractor I have ever seen : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hers is the factory in the distance... British Sugars largest beet processing plant in Europe... what a scene... making it's own clouds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 As I arrive I notice Frankie has hit a heady 190 hours now... only 60 hours away from her first proper service now Having the links arms in 'bounce' mode helps the baler no end Adam... it rides really well with the loder in float too.. I can only liken it to driving with two huge jelly's front and rear :D You can just make out the little red button on the far right of this picture...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 British Sugar trade under the name of Cornerways for their tomatoes... here's the sign at the top of the drive... And here is what we had to greet us as we arrived... :o - the plastic covering from 26.5 acres of glasshouse floor area That's a hookloader skip behind that pile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 We (me and Lumpy) have had a whole day at this lot today and made 10 half-ton bales... we've got about the same to do tomorrow as well... plus a hookloader full of cardboard... Here's what we've made it into so far... So... Frankie is parked up for the night... ready and waiting for tomorow.... No bedtime story for her tonight... and a nigh outside for her too :o - poor little lady... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link arms do the same thing... but hydraulicly... very hand feature when you are carrying something as heavy as the baler mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 ah yes bounce feature good if you can get it, stops all that when you go across feilds ect thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
