Jez Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 That's a load! Blimey mate. Where was this too then? I want a go in a 20/30 series like that The telehandler work was at a farm just below oxford mate, near Didcot. We had the job for all his hay and haylage but things got a bit silly between us and them so that was the last year we did it. I was only carting to the edge of the field but we did haul a load back like that one night... \ \ \ Nice pics mate some big loads there between the tw and the tele handler quite a few bales are mobile Yes indeed MX, the telehandler did struggle to pick up the trailer but I found a trick to help. ;) If you push the front of the machine off the ground with the grab it brings the rear lower to the ground so it does not have to lift as high.

Jez Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I was digging through the garage yesterday and I found these old pictures from my early ttractor driving days. The first few are of me on my trusty TEA 20, straight petrol but it was brillint. I spent many an hour ploughing with her to varying levels of success. I know, i know, it is grey not green and yellow, you will see that there are many other colours here now ;) Anyway, pics have been scanned in as they are traditional photo's. Then I have some from my early days working on a local dairy farm. The plough is a ransomes and hitched up to the trusty 4055. I remember when this old girl arrived, she was HUGE back then. It spent most of her time running the yellow NH forager and also fertilising, ploughing and trailer work. 15 / 6 powershift. One, if not the nicest sounding tractors when it is working. :) Happy days. Some more greenand yellow, John Deere 6600, this replaced the older 3050 that i have some pics of somewhere but I was only 8 when they had that so did not drive it. This was used for vaious things, mowing, hedge cutting, ploughing and general work Then a few for the Blue fans. This was the trusty ford 8210. It was areal gem but a bit un reliable. It got scrapped eventually which was a sad day :'( . This used to run the forager before the 4055 and then went onto carting duties and also stayed on the muck spreader all winter as wella s doing some hedge cutting and ploughing.

Jez Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 The last few are of me working on a local arable farm. It was 1000acres but had a second farm in buckinghamshire near Thame. I was there for 15 months from Agricultural college doing my NDA. The first few months I was general worker and carting grain then the second half I was driving the NH TX66 and also doing the drilling, must have been ok if they let me do it at 17!! We also had a John Deere 6610 which was the most reliable thing on the farm. Pretty straight even if i do say so myself :D The tractor is a NH TM150 and pretty good but not very reliable and I'm not just saying that, i have first hand experience. Pretty good drilling outfit really, drill was a Sulky and Kuhn combination with a farm force front press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
