big piece of kit for irish fields....great to watch it

[AlzPembz]

WOW!!! that was amazing really enjoyed that, awesome piece of kit..

[edgey8D]

would have been so awesome if he'd of let you clamp your camera to the folding ram or something.... one of our neighbouring farms has one of these and it pulls a huge Knights tool. awesome tractors.

[dehardysplicer]

the noise is the scrapers on the packer roller, all the old ones were the same.

[johnwandersonagain]

@dehardysplicer Thanks for clearing that up.. You're a man in the know

[PhluterGoode]

Excellent stuff John - really enjoyed it!

Bet there arent too many beasts like her in this country!

[johnwandersonagain]

@PhluterGoode Not too many at all i'd say ...

[JonnyTM140]

now thats a serious outfit, nice 1 john

[johnwandersonagain]

@JonnyTM140 Yeah it is alright..

[axel6920s]

great video john, shes a fair beast, pity you hadnt few cartridges of grease in the boot to give him!

[johnwandersonagain]

@axel6920s I think you would need a few spanners and some new design to sort it out !!

[G1LB3RT1]

Great stuff! Some machine

[johnwandersonagain]

@G1LB3RT1 Does a great job alright!!

[7810ftw]

[dehardysplicer]

Sledge on the drawbar, shotgun in th cab

[spyla24]

Good vid. the john deere just handles the topdown like a wee toy!!

[wallybull]

shes after covering 2800 acres this season... mick sharkey is the pilot.. 150 acres a day.. great machine serious power and snorting

[johnfranq]

very good. what is the fan like object on the rear of the cultivator

[thejohnmaloneman]

@johnfranq I'm only guessing this but would it be some device for connecting up some version of an air seeder to???

[johnwandersonagain]

@thejohnmaloneman That would be it !!

[johnwandersonagain]

@johnfranq a hopper can be attached in autumn time to broadcast kale or rape to provide green cover for winter

[thejohnmaloneman]

Brilliant video. 10/10. Some machine and a great pilot too!!!

[MF35master]

Had read about this setup in the Farmers Weekly, great to see it in action. Gets through the work quickly and the soil looks in good nick

[johnwandersonagain]

@MF35master The 9m metre Vaderstad drill coming soon

[MF35master]

@johnwandersonagain Looking forward to it

[johnwandersonagain]

[rakerman]

Very poor video john ! l whats gone wrong with you, are you after losing interest????

[johnwandersonagain]

@rakerman I was trying to avoid your boss but he got in most of the later shots...

[Moiler25]

Your ears must have being bleeding afterwards! Great vid as always

[johnwandersonagain]

@Moiler25 It wasn't too bad.. Must be great microphone in the camcorder..

[naughchickens]

Never seen one of those in Ireland before

[johnwandersonagain]

@naughchickens I wouldn't think there are many around right enough...

[johnwandersonagain]
