Fix up the cab, get the engine going, and do a bit of Gunthering by getting one of the rams off the loader to work the gate and you could have a security checkpoint

Gas thing is its a new gate and new concrete with a nice tasty edge finish beside it

I wonder how many actually use a 4 grain fork now? All work done by machinery now.

Everyone the TV cameras roll there's one pulled from somewhere to tip in a bit if silage.

I understand need to scrap non slatted passages out to a tank but slatted passages do they really need to be constantly scaped like that. Seems unnecessary.

He scrapes them because he get can get away without liming cubicles, finds them cleaner to scrape slats and not lime cubicles

It won’t take the thermostat long to open on that machine

If I'm ever getting an audit from revenue I want that tractor to be the first thing he sees!

SuperTortoise · 22-02-2021 10:37PM

Did'nt think that 135? was that bad at first, but the more i stared at the picture the more gunthering i seen!

:D:D

I have one that looks a bit like that on the outside. Much more visibility as half the cab is rotted away but she is mechanically tip top

The most likely explanation of that machine is quite simple. That machine seen action in Desert Storm in 1992. Then on its way back to the US, it must have fallen out of the back of a plane at shannon.

You have no idea how close to the truth you are with that insight

White Clover · 22-02-2021 11:08PM

I'd hate to be in that cab if she rolled over!

Definitely not wasting it on things like fixing the tractor anyway.

Plenty of farmers out there that could well afford a decent tractor yet spend their lives in a yoke like that instead of a decent warm cab with a radio and have a bit of comfort for themselves.

Life’s too short not to have a bit of comfort not to mention the health impact of sitting in a cold draughty yoke for a few hours.

Years ago, a contractor I know used to take the radios out of new/second hand tractors when he bought them. He reckoned that you couldn't hear a problem with a machine if the radio was on until it was too late and a lot of damage was done.
