Classics Earning their keep.

[Two Tone]

I was going to ask “What would you know about it?”

There used to be a Power station at Eye Airfield in Suffolk that burned Chicken sh!t to make the electricity.
Not sure it is still going because SCC in its infinite wisdom started to class the burned remains as Industial waste and charged them a fortune to get a licence for it.

Anyway, somebody we knew bought a new television and it wouldn’t work properly.
So we told him the reason why was that he was using ‘That chicken sh!t lectric and modern tellies don’t like it!’
The twit believed us and bought a second hand one to keep him going!
He was even more pee’d off, because it didn’t have a remote.

Joking apart. This that mf big enough, when that spreader is fully loaded and under load whacking it out nice and wide.?

They’re surprisingly easy to run, you just need a heavy tractor on hills when all the muck gets to the back behind the axle. We run one with a very gutless 6270 and 6470 runs it in eco PTO

Are you on 540 or 1000 rpm ?

So with these spreaders 540 or 1000 in 1000 the spreader just runs faster no gearbox to change?

That incinerated chicken sh!t is called Fibrophos. There is 80-90,000 tonnes per year to go at.

I still wonder if that guy’s television works properly now!

You don’t have to have a full load. You can have whatever tonnage you need but will have to pay capped haulage for the empty space on the lorry.

Yes I now but it turns out expensive,could do with a neighbour wanting some,what would you but on 5cwt

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Depends on sampling results, but 4/5 cwt is a good maintenance dressing.

What do you do with a 16 year old on exam leave, put him on the the 16 year old JXU and the Watson Aerator. To be fair the spikes are down to 4" so easier pulled.than when new. Yes maybe not quite a classic but a heritage back to the old 94 series Fiats

Reminds me of my youth 785xl, sunroof open Atlantic 252 blaring and a Kidd roller. That is one of the many reasons I now have 2 hearing aids.

Atlantic 252 and Virgin 1215, the only 2 decent stations left after Radio one migrated to FM only- In the days of pre digital radios where the station preset was a push button tab and to save it you pulled it out then pushed it back in?

 

[Oliveau]

In my day I pulled a Kidd roller with a DB 990, canvas Lambourn cab & certainly no radio........................
got a bad back but not deaf!

I’ve (re)found Radio Caroline on medium wave 648 metres for my 1993 Ford 7740 with its Medium/Long wave Ford radio is perfect.

For some reason no other medium wave radio I have can pick it up so well.
But it’s also online and on DAB.

Radio Caroline

Radio Caroline continues – with music from the past and present on DAB in selected UK towns & cities and on 648 AM to South East England, The Netherlands, Belgium and beyond

When the signal was bad it had us rummaging around the in cab toolboxes of the Massey 50EX hoping to find a Transvision Vamp cassette that would play.

 

[AJR75]

So after my grandfather selling his old DB 880 over thirty years ago, I managed to reacquire it. Needs a bit of TLC to get working properly, but this is a picture of my daughter on board in the exact same field as I first drove it 35 years ago this summer.

Technically not earning its keep yet but it will be this summer all being well.
