Those aren't weights on the front, those are the instruction manuals! :shock:
-
Cheers mate I'll take them home to study them.
Bet I still get stuck in it :twisted:
-
know what you mean I got a brand new Massey 6480 to play with last harvest, still hadnt worked out all the gadgetry by the end of the summer! mind you anything goes wrong and you cant do anything untill a man with his laptop comes!
What combine are you using?
-
I can't remember the number but the combine's an axial flow case, the lad I help over harvest has a bit of a case fixation :)

Well having grown up in the country side, and working in the city...ive started applying for jobs to go and work in farming/amenity works....yea the money may be rubbish but if your lucky enough to get a job you love thats all that counts.
Got an interview in a week for a company in Hertfordshire
BTW we just had a Class 696 ATZ at work - on turf tyres - now thats a machine to get your head round!
-
Good luck with the interview Joe,as you say the pay is rubbish but I would'nt do anything else I love being out and about in the countryside all day.
Andy if I scratched that laning I'd be back to a horse and cart :D

nice looking machines arent they :afro: we just sold 5 155 and a 210 version of them
-
Thanks mate means working away from home but SWMBO seems happy with the thought of it .....but if i get the job and after my probation period theres a small house tied which is quiet a perk these days.
-
We traded a Maxxum 135 in for it. That was a good machine till I pulled the top link casing off the back ploughing last season :oops:
We've always lived in a tied house as you say quite a perk we could never have afforded to live in some of the houses we've had. The only drawback of livestock farming is of course that no one has yet bred a pig who can look after itself ;) so we end up working a lot of bank holidays and weekends, it's a way of life, not just a job, is'nt it ?
-
, it's a way of life, not just a job, is'nt it ?
Oh yea but what a way of life....the job ive applied for is on arable farm but they've diversified into amenity/sports turf.
Case - nice machines - always been a John Deere man myself!
-
I'm the same, we have deeres on the farm I work on for the day job, I'm a pigman on a pig/arable farm.
The Case I drive for a friend in the village, we farm a 400 acre arable farm in the evenings and weekends. Does'nt leave much time for anything else in the summer :P

-
