Really? Ever? Surely not. 990?

You can tell by the wear on the pedal she's not done much, I've driven a few and there was no grip left on the pedal :laugh:

aparently she was a donkey engine, front axle removed, and back tyres, sat on a plinth all its life driving something.
he had to buy an axle for it, and wheels along with a rear linkage.

Oh very nice, we had the same job years ago. An 885 or 995 db driving a blackcurrant harvester, so it does happen.

I can remember being at an ex Teagasc auction must be near 10 years ago now and there was a blackcurrent harvester there too based on a 995 - went for a song!

I wonder was that 885 an ex Standen Solobeet harvester? They were very popular at that job. In fact between Skimmer and I there is one with a 135 skid unit lying up for quite some time.

That harvester driven by the db was a 2 row if I believe correctly, before that a similar setup with a 135 drove a one row machine. I'll see if I can get pictures sometime, though they are in the archives so could be a while!

An brock.
either you have a good zoom on your camera or he is as blind as a bat.
what was he watchin while you were watchin him?

Both I guess, he was pretty close. 20 yards or less i would say.
No idea what he was watching as the only thing there apart from grass was me. :laugh:
 
He took flight eventually, but instead of ducking back in the hedge he decided it was a better idea to run all the way across the field instead.
I don't think they are the brightest of creatures.
