I guess it would maybe be a bit high when the balers up and would be a job to see the indicators as well  :-\ :-\

Just think marky if you had got a dyna 6 you wouldn't have to now have a ugly loader joystick bolted to the inside of the cab and a hole up throught the floor  ;) ;) :D :D

Buddy Seat...

Not really something you need though is it?!!  :D :D :D :D

Marky she looks really nice mate. With my right fist clinched and thrusted upwards with the elbow bent I do say "Gaaaaaaaaaaaawjuss!!!"

I know Gav is chuffed to bits aswell Mark, he was really pleased when you said he could get some row crops for it for the bedforming work he'll be doing with her. Your a top bloke sunshine.  ;):D

Thing is Tris he thinks I mean that little single bed one......I'm using a 3 bed one on carrot beds next week, that should do the trick ;D:D :D

Todays update...

Well as I stated in another topic.. since I've owned 'Frank' (you can blame pops for the name)... I've done very little work  :-[ - it's just sooooo much fun to take Frank for a run - any excuse I can find... and I do  :-[

I just hope the novelty wears off sooner rather than later  :-[:D :D

Anyway... todays jobbie.. to take my Bailey dumper loaded with 10t of food waste over to the local farmer... he usually collects in his nasty old (well new) Blue thing... but as stated above... any excuse really...

I did try to take some video footage... but I don't think it's come out too well really... have a look in a moment...

Anyway... with a full load on-board... she had her ears well and truly pinned back - and made a rare old smell of burning paint it has to be said... must have done her the world of good I think...  On the 'home run' she performed superbly with an empty trailer - 40k all the way... and surprisingly smooth as well given the road conditions.

Here she is.... loaded - doesn't look much - but if you can view the video you will see she's got a full load inside...

And the video... pretty naff really... but I'm working on it  :-[

Any questions... fire away

Frank must have more hours on him now in one week than Fanny has in a full year :D :D

She's got about 15 I think... I'll have a look in a minute... Fanny's now done 19... in a around 18 months (ish)... can't remember... but she's a 56 reg if that helps  :-\

Mike... I'm loving the name... but I think my mum would kill me... even at my age  :-[:o:D :D
