What happened with the last one Pete ? Part exchange or have you gota sell the other one? ( Only wondering out of interest but definitely don't want it)

Don't think you will regret this as looks a beauty and will be an easy fix to get you out spreading your magic white dust this season

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Not much tramline work done here really. We use them on stubbles and them split them but that’s not really necessary

Thought there was something in the pipeline when Pete was putting all the bits back on! Good luck to you, been keeping an eye on this thread with interest!

 

[Henarar]

so is there much difference between this one and the one you had @Cab-over Pete apart from cab position ?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

It’s a bit more “modern”. Quieter in the cab, seems to drive a bit smoother.

There are quite a few details changed on the chassis but nothing to make any difference to me. It’s got 50 more horses under the cab but the last one had plenty.

All I can say is Pete's lime spreading customers are very lucky indeed!!

(and a magazine better do an article on him too!)

I love it when a plan comes together!

They didn’t offer it to me, it was brought to my attention by @Chae1 on page one of this thread.

At about the same time it became apparent that there was little hope of getting the parts in time to convert my machine so I asked Ed Parker at Class Western about importing it for me because I really wouldn’t know where to start with all that. It was from another Claas dealer so they worked together to get it here on time, for which I’m impressed and very grateful. It was Easter weekend when I first mentioned it to Ed.

I’m not sure Claas have been at fault too much. I was bloody annoyed about it all especially as I was asked to pay in advance, but after a bit of arguing I got my money back and I don’t think the dealer had to pay for the parts either. The parts manager has said he will be happy to supply me with anything I might need for this new tractor.
It was an outside manufacturer that was putting a big spanner in the works.

That has all cost me money and I’ve paid significantly more than it was advertised for, but I’ve had no hassle and have a little bit of comeback in the event of any trouble.

Yes, I am now hoping to get it up and running in time for harvest.

The countdown to chaos

 

[chaffcutter]

Have you got to do any mods for it to take the body Pete? Is it having the skip off the Multi or a new one?

 

[Andrew]

Good to hear you’ve a chance of being up and running. Do you keep the German reg or can / has it been re registered?

Was just luck i googled them to see what you were trying to do. Didn't understand difference in models.

Thought that one looked decent for hours and age. Despite some people laughing at suggestion and price.

 

[JCfarmer]

I’m not sure where you think a one man band lime spreading outfit has £85,000 squirrelled away!!

They call it 'Fate' Pete get it gone and buy the saddletrac if you can or if haven't done so already?

Aaah so you hide it in a tree then?

Pete so you did it!? You bought the one Chae1 had found in Germany?
So you had to cut down that tree then!?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I did have to raid the kids piggy banks too!!
