Was more the boom I was liking the look of being able to do 24m in 2 passes. Wonder if it would stick being tanker mounted

I thought these booms were available in 24m rather than have to slide the unit over and back?

Fantastic looking fields though.

Thought it was as much to do with not dragging the hose over the crop. Unroll as you cover half it going forward then roll it up as you reverse back covering the rest. A lot more traffic on the tramlines but no crop damage.

Looks a bit painful doesn’t it?

A big tanker, trailed or self propelled would surely make more sense?

Be better if they left the reel on the headland,minimal weight then.

That makes sense, not to be dragging the pipe. Pipe doesnt do much damage usually, only unsightly smearing

They are available in 24m but on a tanker unless it's a big one you don't get far down a field if you're putting say 3000g/a on before you're empty then having to drive over what you have already spread to finish the run

I think a HSA inspector would get a heart attack on the spot if he walked into that field.

You know one thing and I’m not defending it in any way but it looks dangerous and people would stand back. A mower with canvas cover looks much safer but in my view is not that much safer really!

A bit rough and ready but I like it!

Seen this video a while back, hard to know what the objective is.
A few nice Zetors @jf 850 and a very sweet sounding Deere.
No worries about which way the slope of the floor of the pit is :scratchhead:

Mighty going even for back then, I wouldn't like to be footing the bill for it...

I like the idea of sawing the ship with the anchor chain.

 

[Bog Man]

Health and safety didnt get in the way either!!

I think they lost a diver if my memory serves me. When she blew up there were five tonne lumps of red hot iron raining down on the island .

Late 80s as the 50 series Deere’s started in 88 and the 300 series Massey with a silver cab would be a 89,the 595 is going well with a turbo on it.

The pitmen are under a wee bit of pressure

3 double chops can't be doing much along with an acre an hour each, 2 in the pit and they are never seen rolling it..:scratchhead:

It looks dog rough... short draw I suppose, everyone looks to be pushing hard too

Would it not be around 1990 given the MC1 cab JD?

It was March the 9th 2019:rolleyes2:

What time :Whistle2:

My dad has a 2650 on an E plate (88/89) with the MC1 cab the CC1 cab with gears on the side were a bit later,far better to get in and out of.

I’ve a bad knee thinking about using a 2650 on the clamp,they have a horribly stiff clutch.
