Hardly. Operator error

It's terrible driving....it's not like he's after grazing it and getting caught by what he's towing.....he/she has hit full square on with weights at front of tractor


I assume auto steer can be immediately over written by manually turning the steering wheel?

That will only go in a straight line unless it's told there is an obstacle in the way. That's my understanding anyways

You can just plot in a line and it will run along that line.
-on top of that you can map field boundaries so the machine will stop or even automatically turn itself around if you spend enough money for unlock codes
-map where the internal boundary ie. inside run of a headland will be to avoid overlap
-plot obsticales like the afore mentioned pylon which obviously wasn't done

Knowing that farm runs rtk(super accurate gps) and controlled traffic i'd reckon they'd have the field mapped and the runs all saved just no one thought it possible to be that oblivious to suroundings during the day time. We did have a pole get struck with a glancing blow and bent over with a set of rolls before at night but it was 'only' a 240v domestic line. The one above took power out in a large area for a few hours until power company re-routed.

Easily happen when you start to get a bit of fatigue/tiredness set in and not alert and start dozing.

It's a T6 145 which did a couple of hundred hours on hire with a new quicke loader put on it.

Very pleased with it so far. Normally way too mean to buy any tractor (I feed here with an old mf50) .. let alone a new one but have an outfarm coming on about 10 miles away and going to lose a car and use the tractor for the daily 'commute' .. If we hadn't bought this we would have had to ultimately buy 2 second hand machines and keep an almost unused car on the road so the eye watering expense made some bit of sense.

I doubt it, is the other side higher.....is that the one I was posting about.
I thought it was bigger

It's not that trailer. they're only grain sides

Easy to find the height of a super-single, and measure the photo using that as a scale.

I’d say 5ft on that side, standard is 4ft normally plus a 1 ft extension although it does look like there’s an extra foot on the far side of it

Id say your bang on. My calculations are right with that height

Mooooo

Ah shir throw in a bit of man maths and everything makes sense

Most of the bigger grain trailers tend to be a 4ft side plus a extension but you’d spot the ones with a 5ft main side a mile away the proportion just looks different straight away, same with the root crop specced ones with 3’6”. Also majority of those red rocks you’d see are normally a stack of small extensions bringing them up to 8ft silage sides. I’d say it probably makes them a bit rattley compared to say a 4ft side with 1 ft extension then a 3ft panel for the silage side

She'd be some yoke for the bog!

The most impressive bit of the build is the widened nose/bonnet and dashboard. Absolutely flawless.

The Nutty M

For the tyres. Rear are 540/65 R34 and front 440/65 R24. I think that right off the top of my head

What size is the hi spec.
We got a galv one in 12.
had to adjust nozzel hole size as the inlaws had a lovely spread but mine had a light patch 1m wide in the middle. Tried all ajustments to no avail then I measured theirs and it was bigger hole.
