Just out of interested Is this one of your skilled operators that popped up on Twitter?

I dont like seeing anyone operating a machine with a phone in hand. Hands free all the way or no phone while moving.

Could be on auto steer I guess?

Dude, are you serious?

Dude, are you serious?

Yes very. I have seen many mistakes made "while on the phone"

Photos dont show moving wheels, those things are called movies

So how do you know he's not parked up on his phone

Using this thread to help me decide my next make and model to purchase!! What model comes up more often?!

Not that relevant but an interesting point is the little two seat helicopter , the Robinson R22 by law has to have a major overhaul with numerous parts replaced at 2200 hrs , the cost is around 80% of a new one.

Both can easily cost 10k depending on how bad it is

CVTs tend to be more expensive but it depends on what you're doing. A new hydro box in a 7930 JD cost £6k a few years ago but that was the replacement of the entire unit, not just the matter of a couple of bearings, cogs or clutch packs.

We have a couple of 50 yr old tractors that have been around the clock.

he is on full RTK autosteer ( see yellow thing on roof !) in a field, probably talking to me, what on earth is wrong with that ?

in fact looking at the picture I’m not even 100% sure he is on the phone ? maybe just resting his head on his hand while watching the machine, all our tractors, combine, cars etc all have handsfree

He is VERY, VERY skilled operator

Dude, are you serious?

he does seem to have some sort of issue with me this week that’s for sure !

Anyone can be lucky or unlucky in terms of reliability but proper servicing and lack of abuse has a gigantic impact on the lifespan of a machine.

I know a Volvo L150G that passed the 41,500hr mark last year. Works at a sawmill and only stops for driver breaks and servicing. It’s a 2012 machine.

It doesn’t have to suffer from those engine eating cold starts that many vehicles do.

The same sawmill has another older Volvo that passed the 60,000hr mark before being retired to back up duties.

If I was a billionaire I would pay for them to try the same stunt with a JCB....



tIn hat on!!!

I would say that was good value??

The interior of a powershift box is scary...

This old girl was on contractors stand at the local show a couple of weeks ago.
They had a couple of competitions running, one of which was, Guess the hours?
Any thoughts? I went a bit high.
