An awkward time of the year this
Silage
Grassland spraying
Wild rat cover
Reseeding
It all starts coming in together

Ya that’s for sure, hoping it might drive the tedder thid summer

Hills of Wicklow or bogs of Galway :rolleyes2:

I never seen as many bales made this early

 

[Masseyrk662]

690 finally a working tractor again, I want to put it on the rake for a while, none of the lads in the yard will drive it, my father baled for 5 years with one. I would love to buy a handy small trailed sprayer just to do my own tillage

The cab looks pretty decent too with little or no rust to be seen.

it’s not too bad but like all 600 series it’s not great either

 

[Masseyrk662]

We ran 3 600 series in the mid 90’s, along with a 399 and a 2640

Two 690s and a 699

699 probably walked all over the early 2640!

26x0's are gone scarce now.

I was only a chap when this picture was taken but the father said that the 2640 would walk all over the 699 they were a lot heavier duty of a tractor, that 2640 replaced a 2 wd 1135 if you ever heard of them ? our old 1135 is in immaculate condition in mayo. Father used to do a lot of tillage for ourself and hire work years ago so always kept one big tractor (back then it was big anyway) for the heavier work

One of the 690’s was later traded for a second 699

1135's were all the go on double chops back in the day around here.

That’s right, the father told me he used to run a new holland precision chop, one of the first ones with a metal detector on the 1135. It was some sort of handle that pulled it out of gear, or onto a solid gear or something along them lines I’m not sure first time it went off anyway the 1135 sheared the full system when the detector went off, they reckoned it was because of the power in it but god knows what the reason was

If the linkage wasnt set right that could happen we used have them set like a hair trigger the pawl just clearing the toothed gear and the linkage just over centre enough to drive .I would have been over the moon with a 1135 back then , we had 4 NH harvesters in succession with a 185 590 590 turbo 699 399 and a 6160 turbo.

It's big brother 1155

The rest of the line up

When I was a chap a man from over @Danielk 's direction used to pick up silage with 2 1135's and open to correction MF precision chops. When the 1st self propelled arrived one of the 1135's was put on a mower.

Now that’s a line up, I think there was either an 1175 bigger than that again or an 1185, all 2 wd tractors but could be converted to 4 wd

It might be an incomplete list but the 1155 is the biggest in that series according to tractordata.com

I'm sure there's a few of those 1135's and a 1155 not 10 miles from here, also a 1200 that has had a V8 stuffed into it, @jf 850 will know who I'm talking about.
