Today at work

[dan 6170r]

Made a start on rye today. Wet and heavy. Sun came out then decided to pee down again this afternoon and put a stop to it for today. Around 20 tonne to the acre though so a nice yeild. So pub it is [emoji1305]View attachment 794684View attachment 794686View attachment 794688View attachment 794690View attachment 794692View attachment 794694View attachment 794696

If everything you have is down to your own efforts I salute you. Did you buy the land you farm

I’m not even going to give you an answer to that! When you feel you have something constructive or maybe some pictures to contribute to this “picture” thread I may take you on. Until then this is the last reply you’ll get from me. Thank you and good night sir.

So moving on from yesterday’s mass debate and drawing a line under it (thanks for all the kind comments guys & girls) here’s what happened at work yesterday.

On top of some office paper work the 6630 went back together.
Here’s what the paptos (power assisted pto shift) looks like, just in case you were ever wondering.

It uses two big electro magnets to pull the selectors into gear and spring loaded into neutral.

New casting fitted and the end float setup on the shafts. 0.015mm isn’t something you can really measure without a dial gauge.

While I had all the brackets off the back thought I’d modify the isobus plug location. I mean, why on earth do they fit them under the couples where it gets covered in oil!

Much betterView attachment 794768

Then down at the airport today for a couple of bits. Rad replacement on one of the old rangers, it’s only water on the floor

New ASO (airport safety officer) vehicle landed. Giving Isuzu a try to see how long they last! Can’t be any worse than the new rangers I suppose.

Wish it would start raining here [emoji849]

 

[Wombat]

Finished 5 bins this week,

It uses two big electro magnets to pull the selectors into gear and spring loaded into neutral.

Is that why if I stall the R series the pto defaults back to nuteral on startup?

 

[v8willy]

Neighbour short on staff & tractors atm & asked if I could help out, using his spreader, auto rate adjustment through the tractor radar jobbie, I could get used to this....

 

[ARW]

Had to strap to the tractor!

 

[Deerefarmer]

Been awhile since I've posted... enjoy seeing everyone's pics when I do take the time to stay caught up with this thread.
Anyway these go back a ways I think the last I posted was into 8970 NH so starting there

had to completely dismember the the rear end to replace the warped park brake disks, got the reverse clutch pack rebuilt too

got it back together and everything worked [emoji106]
Some pics from the tractor seat now

Spring silage is in full swing now as well

Been 90 + hour weeks last while so always glad for weekends and rain
Til next time,be safe everyone

Does it default to N every time you stop/start it? I’d have to check but I’m sure it should remember which spread is selected, although it will mechanically drop to N as soon as power is cut. Don’t think you should need to re select the speed on start up though.

The fastcrap died on me on Thursday, whilst hitching on a trailer at a friend's farm.

Lost all air and refused to build any.

The horrifically expensive gasket kit I got for the compressor didn't help.

I decided to bring her home, I knew I bought that trailer for a reason.

 

[Phil P]

Not many pics today, back on the fert spreader most of the day.

Can’t beat a big square field

Can you spot the lapwing chicks? There’s two in the pic, it’s not easy spotting them driving round the little rascals!

That should be it until N3 on the wheat in another week or two so gave the 65 a good clean off and cab cleaned out, hate fert dust it gets everywhere! Much better now though
