Deere-est Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Flip me John there are more toys in there than an Ann Summers party!!! You say you spent an afternoon learning it. ... that'd take me days to find my way round all that!!! Looks a sturdy tractor though, I hopeit does you right. I know if it does you will see SNOB right as well, serviced, cleaned and looked after as well as the rest of Letham's gear. You'll have to let us know how she performs the various tasks.

jdc Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks guys! I had a bit of cultivating to do on setaside yesterday so had a play around with the headland management - brilliant! But it seems strange to do everything in the field with just one button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pics all the same, how much have/had you to do? Only 19 acres left to do - at the moment. real nice tractor john! would take me about a year to work the controls but how did she handle the wet ground today? Went well in spite of having wide-ish tyres on, but the really wet bits, nothing would make a decent job. Raw looking country.What will you do too it next John?. Leave until end of Feb, early March to get a frost mould (and dry out hopefully ) and then Spring Barley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 oh ......... um...er............ still got it then considering the depth of how the ploughings finished up maybe potatoes could be an option john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
