I was told last week that a customer spec built deere would be October delivery now.

I think a lot of things are delayed or backed up around the world at the moment.
Shortage of parts or shipping delays due to Covid seem to be a problem.

Bought a sofa and chairs in the Boxing day sales that were made overseas. Latest estimate is May deliveryo_O

I just checked the specs of both tractors , the JD is 5200 kg , valtra is 6200 kg. The valtra shuttle is far nicer to work for loader work, the spools on the joystick are very easy to use on the valtra. The valtra has far better visibility too. The valtra now have two seperate oil tanks which long term is a great saving for the tractor. I’m running valtras for 25 years and I’ve yet to see a tractor to beat them, my local valtra dealer has traded in an awful amount of JD tractors lately . One jd was only a year old when it was traded in. Local contractor here was valtra , then went to 4 jds and is now gone back to valtras , says it all really.
could you give me a shout James !

Let me do that for him. VALTRA IS THE GREATEST, ANYONE DRIVING ANOTHER BRAND SAYING THEY'RE THE GREATEST IS LYING. MY NEIGHBOUR HAD A JD AND NOW HAS VALTRA SO JD IS BAD. I WAS AT A JD DEALER AND THERE WHERE ALOT OF JD'S IN THE WORKSHOP, SAYS IT ALL. I ONLY HAVE 25 QUID OF MAINTENANCE PER 25,000 HOURS. ANYONE SAYING VALTRA IS STUPID IS LYING.

May I have your attention, please?

We're gonna have a problem here
Ya'll act like you never seen a White Valtra before
Jaws all on the floor like Jonny Deere just burst the Turbo
And started pouring out gas worse than before
They first were Jonny popper’s According to literature Ahh)
It's the return of the, oh wait, no way, you're kidding
He didn't just say what I think he did, did he
And JCB said, nothing you idiots
JCB’s dead, it’s locked in my basement (Haha)
Clarkes of Cavan women love Jimmy
Chicka-chicka-chicka Slim Jim, I'm sick of him
Look at him, walkin' around, grabbin' his you-know-what
Flippin' the you-know-who, yeah but he's so busy though
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse, than what's goin' on in my T series transmission,
Sometimes I wanna get a Massey and just let loose, but can't
But it's cool to slag John Deere off for using more Juice.
My bum is on my hips, my bum is on my hips,
And if I'm lucky you might just spend one cent every 10 hours
And that's the message that I deliver, often, mine is better than yours
And to expect farmers not to know what a linglong is
Of course they're gonna know what a liability a Vario will be
By the time they get the green boiler suit a Dyna6 has been stripped by Dee
They got The Farming Forum don't they
We ain't nothin' but massive fans of tractors
Well, some of us are, but off by many factors
Who cut other people down with rumoured tales
But if we can fit to German tractors - yachting sails
Then there's no reason that a Fendt can’t do 7.74 miles per litre
But if you feel like I feel, Valtra is the best for fleet hire.
Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes
I'm Slim Jimmy, yes, I'm the real Jimmy
All you other Contractors, are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Jimmy, please shut up
Please shut up, please shut up
'Cause I'm Slim Jimmy, yes, I'm the real Jimmy
All you other Slim Jimmys , are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Jimmy, please shut up
Please shut up, please shut up...........

Awesome @Wellytrack just waiting for a verse on forage wagons or is that a whole new song parody??

I don’t actually consider these things til they appear. It was the mention of multiple accounts spurred me to it. I did do a spoof news report on forage wagons some years back now that I remember.

I’m really sad. :oops:
