No, in fact I can’t find a good wide tyre with an aggressive tread. They are all like the Alliance type. Good for flotation and ok for 95% of what I do, but on a steep bank they might make me think twice.

 

[Kiwi Pete]

They will find the soft stuff, Peter

Just as well you know a chap with a dozer when it happens

Bugger.

I think by the time Kev had tracked over this way it would be quicker to dig it out by hand.

Are you suggesting he’s a bit slow...?!

 

[Kiwi Pete]

I think he would still be quicker than Buster, we tracked him down at 1pm and he was already on the gin .

Just as well it has "Work" on the side or you would only be guessing what it was for

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Sounds just like Kev!

 

[smoke1439]

Saw these and thought of you Pete. I believe one of your Big A’s was an ex bunns.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Brilliant, thank you.

We’ve owned 5 Big A spreaders over the last 25 years and I think they all came through Bunns at sometime in their lives.

Wonder why the newer challenger one is so much longer in the wheelbase than the others?
Assume it’s bigger engine more horsepower etc. Sometime older stuff just looks tidier. That one looks like it would ground over a slight hump in the field.

Gotta fit all the modern engine gubbins in I guess.

They carry more weight for a start.

Whilst the old girls may be named Big A, they are dwarfed by the Terra Gator.

 

[Tomr10]

Are the front wheel driven ? Also makes me wonder about the tread on other way

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Not usually but I think there is some kind of hydraulic drive kit available.

I think the Terra Gator slurry injector machine has the front drive system fitted but I don’t know much about them.

Putting the front tyre on backwards keeps it cleaner and makes it grip a bit better when turning, otherwise it’s not unknown to turn at speed and carry on in a straight line!

Rate per hour for limespreader extraction with winch or dozer has now gone up 57%

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Will a creamy coffee and two extra Bourbon biscuits cover it?

Wagon wheel might suffice

Ain't had one of them for ages until the other day, no longer a fan

More like a wheelbarrow wheel these days, less of a wagon wheel.

 

[JD6920s]

More like a wheelbarrow wheel these days, less of a wagon wheel.

Like everything nowadays, you get less for more.

I think it's nature's way of halting inflation
