    Just a small selection Fendts on one farmers yard in Germany. All parked up for the winter. One black fendt had only 17 hours on it. Not a contractor but farming approx 1100 hectares and had a 1mw AD plant.

    we used to have a few jcb teleporters

    sold it and I heard the lad that bought it ( a competitor of ours) was reroofing a house and the boom fell down through the house !

    mega revenge for the work he took from us !!:D:D
    No doubt he was sure you set him up :P

    Actually, thats a 10.5 can fit a 12m happily enough find smaller header leaves more power in damper conditions = more output. Will do 50ha day on a 14hr shift all the same.:pac:

    visited ardnacrusha dam/ power station few years ago

    take note of the handrails on the top of the turbine for the scale of things!:)

    No finer sight on a summer's day. No rooting and tearing around like madmen (weather dependent)!

    Its a Schluter. German, not sure if East or West though. Mid to late 70s? Considered a Rolls-Royce tractor. A man in Dunmore, Co Galway has one that he brought over from the UK a few Years ago. He does have it at the silage event up there. Its a big girl.

    German engineering at its finest. Got a tour of Inniscarra dam on the Lee back in the 90s when going for ESB apprentice. Way smaller scale only 2 turbines but still remember the size of the turbine shafts.

    There was a German lad farming in Wicklow had two of them, back in the 80's.
    went to the HMP show in Panningen, Holland, a few years ago, and photo'd a few. Must look them up.
    Their flagship model had a straight 8 engine :D

    there are quite a few of the Schluter tractors around where i was working, all in pristine condition and they would still be called into action during maize harvesting. Then they'd be washer and stored for the winter

    Ah here there's no need for that now!
    Maybe the Deere has only a 30 k tranny!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,433 ✭✭✭darragh_haven


    This is the same German farmers loader and snow plough. the plough is also used to shove maize up the pit at harvest time. The lieberr loaders are very popular on Germany.
