Thanks again, Steve. 

[rakerman]

Very good Alan, I like it.....

To rakerman

Thanks Pat. Glad you do, because it was perishing cold up there . . .

[budobuoy]

Not saying they don't. I must of spent all those years studying engineering for nothing as it's not a dry bush just a bad case of mice in the 6810 !!

To budobuoy

Don't doubt it, but you were not there and diagnosing from a video is something I'd treat with caution. I know the owner - if you had seen him spending a full day prepping and greasing his slurry injector before putting it away, you'd believe me, dry bearing - very unlikely (not impossible).

[budobuoy]

Great video, maybe could do with a taste of grease on the loader perhaps.

To budobuoy

I doubt it - these boys know their stuff.

I'm always grateful for comment - it shows people are watching! But you really ought to read the description, especially if you have a question.

dose the blade come off the buck rake

[balmesh]

To 131313james131313

I don't know, James. Maybe someone else will? 

[jdman2kp]

@balmesh the blade is a good job for keeping the pit level and for getting small lumps on the ground there would be no point taking it off the jd could do with a bigger bucket we have a bucket for the tractor and it would hold roughly a ton of clay

[balmesh]

to jdman2kp

Thanks very much. The bucket is in use every day for feeding the cows (loading the Triolet with minerals and straights) so I doubt if he'd want to change it for just a job of tidying up.

[jdman2kp]

@balmesh oh yeah suppose and also the blade akes the spikes safer if there was young children around a yard when its taken off and for on the road

[TheDeutzman100]

great video as always mate, like seeing how its done over there compared to back here in Wales. One thing is that not a 6810 on the pit not a 6130? Anyway, really good and look forward to more 

[balmesh]

To TheDeutzman100

Well, must admit I was short of time, but I don't think Jan has a 6810, though he has a 7810.

[balmesh]

To TheDeutzman100

you're right - it's a 6810 and my memory is up the creek!

[jordankeeps]

Awesome vid Alan! Loving the machines that they use! Looks to be a very nice property. Are they a family or contractors or mixed?

[balmesh]

To jordankeeps

Very nice, indeed. My wife's cousin. The family are not contractors but it is Jan (farmer) that is trimming the pit with the Deere. The Volvo, 7820 and Joskin are contractor's kit - the firm is Wim Wemekamp. Wim drives the Krone and offered me a ride, so he's special!

[jonycarlao]

nice vid! 

[farmingsim2011fan]

great video and machines

To farmingsim2011fan

Thanks very much for my bit of your comment. The second bit I'll leave for the contractor and farmer to see.
