PM if you prefer or tell me to mind my ownNew rear tyres, installed yesterday (fronts installed wednesday). Tractor a bit sh!tty, but will be washed before silaging so pls no bully.

Nothing wrong with it really (except for adblue sensor problems, which seem to be gone), we'd like some uniformity in our fleet and already have two Deeres. Nothing's certain, who knows if we'll even do farming in near future. I'd love a new Case, seems to fit well in my hand. Old man and youngest brother prefer Deere. Maybe we'll swap all three in for two new ones, who knows.You've mentioned in a few posts about changing this one to a different brand? Just wondered what's making you steer away?

We're not particularly loyal to any make (or in love with any). Had Masseys in the past, then Deere, Massey, Case and Deere.

They can still sell macdon to other brand combines.

Jd have had Draper headers for at least 20 years. There is a reason why macdon were very popular

New to me , well not really new to me because Iāve known it for 20+ years & it was the first tractor I ever drove . Anyway my mate and current land lord reluctantly put this up for auction today . First sold new by Weatherheads and traded to Standens in late seventies then bought by his grandfather.
anyway I bought it without him knowing and then after the auction told him he had to take Home and put it back where it came from
A slightly emotional moment!
So now making me the third owner from new , but so far only itās second farm / home .
Apart from the saw bench or some recreational harrowing, Iām not sure what active service it will see . But most definitely a toy!

Gave up trying to find a good used machine so had to raid the savings bank- hopefully it will be with us a long time! Tried it in anger for the first time over the weekend and pleased with it- only went through one shear bolt which was down to the long grass hiding dangers underneath

Not so new. 2014 kane 16t beavertail. Was 4.5k, plan to strip it back to chassis tyres off and get it professionally shot blasted and painted. Fit air brakes, has commercial axles. Started taking floor off today and bearers in good condition underneath. Should maybe start a new thread on refurbishing it.

Yeah it was used on the new bypass apparently. Must have been near a lot of salt and rough digger drivers going by state of headboard.f**k me thatās rough for 2014, right price though so looks like your onto a winner
It had been refloored already! So next 1 will be 3rd floor.
New ones 16k and a long wait. So got a bit of scope to save some money. Will be handy for moving our 13t digger, will put a 27ft single deck cattle float on it and be used for carting bales too. Hopefully cart hesstons 3 high on it safely with low deck height.

Thainstone?
Ramp is bit steeper than the regular beaver tail + ramps style lowloaders. But good all rounder really like ours with stock box on as it's nice height for loading cattle + straw job

Haha, can just about get it turned in that little 0.7 acre paddock. Our silage fields range between 35 and 95 acres all flat reclaimed land, so I think she's come to the right place

This arrived today. We had the front box on sprayer tractor before I had a front tank. Local engineer knocked this up for us using box we already had. Hopefully get some big crops of straw to use it! Got a combine with 30ft header last year and NH rotary seems to leave bigger swath of straw than claas for some reason. Going to pimp it with some led lights and reflective stickers! Couldn't bring myself to pay price of a grizzly.
