Spreader belongs in the New Toy thread but loader must qualify.
I’m getting better at it, there’s more going in the spreader now than around it.
Spreader is only diddy and I’m trying to get more in than will fit.

Dusted the cob webs off the old girl today because her replacement had a little breakdown

This is a 1999 6910. Getting her out has inspired me to spend a bit of money on her and tidy her up

Just the right sort of frost, very handy looking at the heap of wheat seed in the shed.

It is a Millcreek, a USA make I believe. Available in several sizes and pto or land drive.
I think they are aimed at smallholders, market gardeners and horsey folk. This one is second hand but all the ones I have seen for sale second hand are practically new. I think they are either run into the ground or sold after not much use. Seller said it had done about 10 loads and most say the same. I've done that already would have done more but other work got in the way unfortunately.
I think I would prefer the next size up but not disappointed with it, in fact I am very pleased so far.

Alcorn Farms working ground for growing Hemp New addition to Alcorn Farms was the Massey Ferguson 6499 and the Sumo Trio. John on the pilot seat working down a seed bed with the dust flying ready for sowing. Sumo Trio set for 6 inch working depth on this clay ground. #arimagery #farming #agriculture #masseyferguson #sumo

Robert working winter cereals ready for sowing again into winter wheat with the Fendt 820 Black Beauty Edition man handling the 5 furrow Lemken plough. Fendt 820 was an icon when it got released in 2006 and went on to become a major workhorse for a lot of farms and very much punched well above her weight. Weighing in at 7 tonne packing 207hp pocket rocket comes to mind Robert previously had this ground sown in winter oats which we caught combining which will premier later in the year... #arimagery #farming #agriculture #farmlife

Some of you may remember a couple of years ago me posting seeking advice about doing up my dads 65
Well. I did it, but not quite in time for him to see it. However, the old girl did the most important job of her tenure since he nought her in 1958. Took the old man on his last journey

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Fantastic. Well done.

 

[mobileweld]

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing and all the best

Not sure if doing this is going to help or harm the value of the old girl but I got fed up with the old hook end attachements and not being able to have a universal set of loader attachments. So I have cut off the hook ends and converted it to Euro 8.

As an aside, if anyone needs an almost unused bucket, a very good muck fork and a decent bale spike to suit the Massey 80/800 series loader attachments then drop me a line....

Brilliant morning at Ballycastle and District Tractor Ploughing Society and some cracking kit caught despite a little technical issue with my camera...

Delete if not appropriate but the 870 working along side the 9700i

Chopping along side each other the John Deere 9700i with the Claas 870 chopping grass very fine for a local digester. Carting back to the silage pit is a mix of John Deere, Case IH and Case IH Tractors.
