Today at work

[Ormond]

when would you expect to be cutting this ?

Depends on establishment.... Mainly rain! It has 3t/acre of broiler litter incorporated and mixed in the top 4"...id like to think I'll be in with mowers in end start July possibly.... Never had a window after the bales were taken off last year after winter barley to get the grass seeds in

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

After 11 inches of rain in 12 days i buried the sprayer. Luckily help was at hand.View attachment 874476View attachment 874477View attachment 874478

It must be yours and our turn for rain and a good year. Best start to winter cropping season here in at least a decade. Even in 2016 it didnt come in wet till May.

I don't know we usually average around 24 inches and for the last two years have had significantly more at times we didn't expect it. Coupled with that the rain we had on my Dads farm in England meant we couldn't get on the land for six months. I think i have clouds following me if was possible to get an airticket i would offer my services to drought ravaged areas or i could get home because our Spring Barley is getting dry.

Found this old badge in workshop, thought it might give me some extra power! Pins on bonnet lined up with existing holes in bonnet. Yes I'm a child.

When Landquip took my sprayer off the 1135, they raised the backplate before putting it on my 2155 by 50mm to stop the door hitting the strut.
The problem being that a 2155/2170 has an all glass door with no steel frame to protect it. So easily broken unless you are very, very careful.

Daughter on Furlough, so helping me empty some sheds of muck with my two converted hydraulic tailgated trailers.
Guess which tractor she drove?

Tractors, trailers and the loader all washed off and put away.

My brothers already broken it! Was moving it in a hurry and didn't shut door. The frame on 2170 is higher than on 1135 but door still opens onto steel frame.


Was interesting spraying with no door. Put my seatbelt on.

Grain bucket abuse!

A significant improvement

Will you promise to report on the progress of the soya, not only it looking fantastic through the growing season, but also if it makes it to harvest, nobody seems to get that far, or own up if it doesn't, I hope that yours does.

Go on then why not use the Case bucket instead of the grain bucket?

I actually tie a bit of thin rope on the door gas strut as as not to allow the it to open fully and miss that strut.

I’ve also had an incident where I drove through a bumpy field gateway with the door open and the sprayer rocked onto the door and broke the glass door!
So I’ve since shortened my rope a bit more.

She did drive the 8340, but preferred the T7050.

Please send an up to date profile and she’ll consider your proposal!

It's that lovely straight, razor sharp edge that makes me go for the grain bucket every time I want to level anything out or take a sliver off the top of something. The Case has a bit to much slop in her for the finer details
