He got both of them bogged down and Reggie + recently sorted out Landini came to the rescue and pulled both tractors out plus their loads

Wishful thinking

Tell everyone what happened.....

I was going to the bog (12 mile away) and one of the dump trailer tyres blew off the rim. :rolleyes: ...... That should have made me rethink my evening plans. but no

So over to the auld lads house to get the 14ft grain trailer with 4ft sides . he had it last weekend at turf and threw the last load from it into the shed.

into the bog load the trailer to the gills and got 80% to the road and the trailer sat to the chassis at about 35% . . and only 2 other tractors were a 165 and a 135.

So called a lad I worked with for 6 years for a pull. I hadn't buried the tractor so knew if I got a little pull she would come. lad was away but said to head to the yard, keys in normal place that he use to keep them and so was the chain. over to bog (4 mile) , chained it up. showed auld lad how to drive the mccormick and towed it to the road in L3 gear. not to many would tell you to take a 162 tractor .

will drop him a voucher before weekend

Just an observation on the two open days and didn't want to side track the threads.

The rent on the beef farm is 140/acre and the rent on the dairy is 220/acre.

Should the dairy one not be 140/acre too?:) #badnegotiators

I suppose a person leasing out a dairy unit would consider that their prior investment in Parlour, Plant, machine, equipment, bulk tank and possibly uprated power supply was worth 60 to 80 euro per cow per year?

I wasn't referring to the specific units that the farm walks are on, just a general observation. If you had built a 12 unit (or 20 or whatever) with a satisfactory machine and dairy, complete with dairy washings tank, collecting yard etc, spending perhaps 50 to 80k in the process and leaving the leasee only needing to re-rubber the plant, you'd look for a return on that investment if you decided to lease it out.

Whether you got it or not would depend on the demand in the locality.

Doubt he'll lay a glove on Leo. time for Vincent and George to be put out to pasture.

John Deere have a prototype that works 4 hours on one charge.

Know a guy with a new hybrids (company car) as lower BIK, he's never charged it.
His reason is he'd have to go out of his way to get a charging point

About 12 hour, from memory. Prototype, however if there is a leap in battery tech, things could change. Well, there has been EV forklifts for the last 30 years.

Yes but they're only doing light duties, with gas / diesel doing the heavier stuff

Caterpillar and Komatsu have been building diesel electric dozers for 5 years of so. They claim fuel savings of 25% over a traditional engine/transmission set up.
An electric motor transmission would have to be simpler and longer lived than a Vario set up.
