Tractor Runs & Events

[Mf 7715]

@FarmerFredrik was just wondering do you have tractor runs in Finland? My wife was talking to some of her friends about tractor runs while none had been on them they had all heard of them, except her friend from Finland who never heard of them and thought the whole idea was a bit mad.

We have some kind of tractor runs, but it's more like a youth thing on the weekends when all meet up and drive around the city

That's all from me from a sunny West Cork this morning (easy to pick out my mobile phone pics isn't it !)

What’s the story with the yanmar strapped to the Deere?

Local run yesterday, a few MH's and a hedge cutting combo to keep a lad on his toes.View attachment 53600 View attachment 53601

Hardly the same one that was cutting round the airport back in January?

The head gasket is gone in the Deere, has to be towed... It could be the same one, he covers a lot of country.

Just a few of the locals having a laugh

I'm surprised someone didn't mention it earlier, but I see people are making up for lost time now

That's the same outfit alright, he'd do all the motorway cutting for Lagan as well

I don't know, I find it hard enough watching one

That'd fry your brains being on that all day!!!

And make a video clip at the same time, he has a 8metre tele VFR arm on the back now, the lot must be very light on the right wheel when at full stretch.

I think it's mostly for verge cutting and I'm assuming he's got EDS on both machines which would make it a bit easier. Plus if you were saving a man and tractor whilst getting the same rate it might not get your brain too bad

I wouldn't like to be at full stretch and the inside wheel hits a water cut! He's a fair big pony on it though

Fair point, can't really be on for hedgetrimming though, how well does EDS work?

It's on a T7.235 Auto command, before that he had the PA 7000 and the front mount on a TS125A..

I bet he had some 'farting lumps' moments as one guy here calls it having it on a TS125A!!:oops2:

The video of it looks impressive but I'm not sure how it works in real life! I've never used it so don't know

I don't think he had the two for long on the TSA?
