finished barley on 3rd of march didnt roll and glad i didnt , got everything drilled sprayed and spread before it rained and bloody glad i did

new to me this 8000hr 04 6920s to replace a 130hp claas shoudnt have a hard life being on a sprayer and tine drill but big enough if we need some grunt , no adblue too which is ideal hopefully it will look after me well

hi all going to look at a deutz 160 on a 10 reg with 4000 hrs on the clock , any thing i should look for or be wary of will mainly on lighter duties as spraying and tine drilling cheers dan

i grow muscanis for wholecrop as well as combinable , first time last year yeilded 15 bales to a acre and is feeding well did add peas and vetch but half didnt come up and i killed by trying to get a handle on the weeds before it swamped it , this year drilled it this autumn again with muscani...

use the loader tractor to load and haul use the tele in the yard best way to do it

tractors not worn out at these hours but i have no replacement if it goes wrong equally i really need 50k and would also like some comfort , equally its still got plenty of value to it as i run it to higher hours more it will cost to change , id keep it if i could

65-70k , id love to be buying with in warrenty but its difficult equally do you go less hurs and less spec got to have 50k and front linkage and be 200hp minimum , this tractors been good hence i wouldnt worry buying a second one and keeping mine so if one breaks but finding a tidy one is even...

hi all my 6495 is getting longer in the tooth at 8000 hrs and although shes been a good bus im thinking of either adding a cheaper more high houred tractor the same to the fleet (although needs to be 50k and have air) and doing the oddjobs on my current tractor and hoping between them that i...

weve got a 4m weaving on a 120 hp claas pulling at 11kph goes well only grips are will pull it up so it doesnt look the best seedbed, fresh trash or wet trash does bung it up only having 4 row stagger and its easy to put it in deep but weve drilled 700 acres this autumn of cereals and grass been...

ours get 23 or 4 good washes a year normally before start of a job like drilling end of drillling start of grass and start of baling try to keep the cab swept and windows clean but they are workhorses not show ponies , lad who helps me loves to presssure wash but is shy with a grease gun after...

i know a telehandler will always be more efficient in a yard we run a jcb and a tractor loader on the home farm at the moment the tractor is handy for me to get on while dads feeding its clumsy round the yard but better than me waiting for him , bare in mind this is a 165 hp tractor with...

I find rolling a sorry job some times your sorry you didn’t roll more other years sorry you rolled any this year rolled our blacker land germinated lovley , wish I rolled our heavy but potential rain on the way was focused on a getting more in and felt a bit spongy underneath and now with that...

we had the same problem last year went for a 95 nh tx66 to a lexion 460 , 1st year with it seems a good laid out machine and can quite easily knock on in good crops parts are dearer but all readily avalible and plenty of knowledge for when things do go wrong

weve took the leap this year and put a loader on our 160hp mccormick powershift box both me and the chap who works for me get on with it well and defintly wont go back to having a telehandler in field , the quickest set up would be one of them trailers with hydralic sides but even strapping up...

bloke near us has two , one of thems fairly new does all his ploughing and combi drilling , we looked at one up cheffins be fine to run a mill or a straw blower , wouldnt want to spend too long on tho everything seemed very heavy to operate , think a 10 hour day would wear you out
