jdc Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've still got a soft spot for the 3000s - just look at the length of her too. :D - what a lovely machine she is as well... VERY gutsy No bloomin' emission regs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 that's the one buddy.... it goes whir, whir, whir, whir and you are flatout - 40k in a few seconds. It's not far off that with 10t of carrots in tow either :o is thats all thats wrong with it then mate, 2 tyres?? not bad then who's is the trailer It needs some other jobs done mate... autohitch needs adjusting up... but nowt serious... the odd leak as well... dyna makes a noise when pulling away too - needs a full set of weights upfront as well... she's a little light on the front I can tell you Bunning is my local farmers... it's a 12t model.. I usually do my compost in this one now as I get more on than the Baley (9t on this one... 8t on the Bailey ish) No bloomin' emission regs True John... I tell you what... that cab is SUPERB as well... I'd go so far as to say it's MUCH better than my cab - it was VERY well thought out I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 few things will need sorting if I invest in her mate... two new rears for a start...

nashmach Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I thought she looked low on the back then i looked at the tread :o :o shut that back window as well > ;) Indeed I thought I heard a bang :D Very clean tractor that but a few too many electrics for my likeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well... Frankie news... Just back from the dealers... she's had a new soloniod - which has cured the problem (evidently)... and a new oil temp thermostat - which was believed to be faulty.... During her 400 hour service the fitter couldn't get any grease in the front axle pivot... so she's now having that sorted then I get her back for a 'test run' to see if we have cured the problem As for back windows... I ALWAYS have mine open.... a ggood driver likes to listen to what's goin on around him... both with the tractor and the implement - and don't give me that old 'dust in the cab cr@p' as she gets cleaned on a regular basis inside and out * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You wait 'till you hit a pot hole in the road or something, you'll wish you had the back window shut then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 so they recon thats the problem with the heat round the backend then mate?? wonder if its been faulty from new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 so they recon thats the problem with the heat round the backend then mate?? wonder if its been faulty from new? They think it was Sean... a good 20 mile trek will tell for sure mate You wait 'till you hit a pot hole in the road or something, you'll wish you had the back window shut then!! Indeed... I've already lost the autohitch mirror to a pot hole (well... only the mounting)... no great loss.. I never used it anyway - with an extender I can see the hook by looking over my shoulder \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Back windows aren't meant to be open all the time, they're not made to be that strong. Only designed for when hitching something up or dropping off i believe.. Have heard of them shattering very easily when of road etc... \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
