What size are the flotation tyres?
Do you have to keep speed down when running on them between jobs etc?

710s, run them at 10psi, don't travel that far with them so generally just do about 50k with them on.

Lots of helpers tonight tagging and ringing lambs at turnout and catching lambs in the field too

I like the door paint job.

I have lived here over 30 years and I had never noticed - maybe my wife is right after all...

Had our nfu insurance chap out this morning to go through our policies and beet them down on prices a bit, so pretty much lost most of the morning!
Also after me saying how reliable my iPhone has been on another thread the camera decided to die on it so nipped for an upgrade so as not to deprive anyone of my pics, mmmm new toy (had to take this pic with the iPad before any asks)

Have that jack under the back of the 3350 here, never seen another till now, not used much now.

 

[v8willy]

Bit of a different load for a change, a load of rags to the Sally Army

Then 27 tons of spuds back home, first lift Peterborough direction & the second Holbeach direction

It’s about 7 years from I was in that area, last time I called into Doubleday’s & bought a sprayer.

View attachment 778890 View attachment 778894 Had the sprayer on the new tractor. Too windy and wet on parts of the field to put the chemical on, so just a run with water to get used to the TTV !

Very nice that Needs more lights though

That’s the only job it gets used for, I can set the hight and don’t need to worry about it dropping over time.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen another either, perhaps they only made two

Here’s what happened yesterday- nipped to the dealer for a few parts and the service bits for the 6430, opened the workshop door to find a puddle of coolant under it! Looks like the header tank o-rind is leaking which means another parts run. Anyway got the service out the way while the old man replace some bolts and tines on one of the spreaders.

Header tank will have to wait cos it’s finally decided to stop raining after about two weeks of it! And the sun has come out to play (yay) which mean N no1 on some cereals.

Then the sun went back in again full moon though (top left) so all good

Last bag of the evening.

Ummmm
The tin cover was a cost cutting plan
Towards the start of red n grey livery production in late 57
I think your tractor must be 1 of the early change overs
No records either.... unless it's been swapped in its early days
