Question for the larger sized drivers !!!!

[danpwll]

how do the big lads get fert spinners and sprayers on and off tractors ?? im a short arse and still squeeze pass back wheels to get a amazone spinner on and off, not an easy task as not as fit as i used to be !!!!!!

 

[Oliveau]

Family well, Dan?

We have two big lads ... Me and another.
I don’t go near tractors and the big lad gets the thin lad to put on the spinner as you are right. It would be easier for a camel to enter the kingdom of heaven than for the more robust brethren to attach the Amazone...

I make/order as many 3pl implements on a h/d a-frame attachment as possible. Really helps with fendt d/a linkage and a hyd top link. A frame stays on for trailer work. Not done the fert spreader yet but planning it next!

Trailed kit much more civilised!

 

[ARW]

If your making machinery purchases based on your waist size then may I suggest it would be much cheaper to go on a diet and get some exercise!

Yep and here anything trailed goes on pick up hitch baler included,

haven’t used a drawbar on a tractor for years

in fact I’ve never ever changed either of the current main tractors from hook to drawbar since we’ve owned them.

I find if you stand on the lift arm and go up and in helps. I'm a fat b#stard.

I did get stuck between the drill and the back wheel one morning when adjusting slack adjuster on lift arms in the springtime and had to call my brother to rescue me.

A Kuhn weighcell spreader sits 4-6” further back than a non-weighing model, leaving a bit more expansion room for the operator.

Old SP sprayer now, rather than mounted….

Bald back tyres have gained me a couple of inches of wiggle room

Did he have a coffee or two before he came over?
After a few days you would have come loose
