Did ya see that video of your man on youtube 'reviewing' the 110-90?? He's mowing flat out at a ridiculous speed and looses the glass out of the door!

post it up, too lazy to look for it

Muckit

It doesn't actually show it falling out, but he does make reference to it falling out. He going way too fast I reckon anyway.

is it just me or does it sound like he is using the foot throttle and not setting the hand throttle

Good simple tractor. You would get used to splitter box's on newer things however. Not really suitable for people taller than 5 foot 8 , or you will develop a hunch looking out the screen. sit upright and your looking straight into the roof panel.
Have a 90-90 and its been very reliable .

The 110-90 had serious pto power, used to run a double chop behind one.

machinery has moved on since i was there, then it was not unusual to see an old Farmall tractor on frontline duties. mind you, that was up the west coast of the south island. Do you still have bobby pens at the end of the road?

I've a mate on the west coast now and he has fresh enough gear, problem is its all rusting to bits! Some places have them beside the road but where I am normally not. Over on the coast it is more common though.

This is the tractor I had on the last farm, did all the work for 400 cows, feeding silage, shifting irrigators and mowing/topping. Sometimes all in the same day, ya had to get used to putting things on her with speed!

Young lads!

Althought to be fair that is a common problem with the Fiat super comfort doors, especially if the door was strained at any stage. Happened to a friend of mine while they were sitting the the passenger seat of one, she got a big fright to say the least!

Fantastic Machines though

I know this fella, he's a damn good operator to be honest. Reckless/hard on machines definitely wouldn't be normally used to describe him!

The First washing this Irish Draught colt is getting for Cavan horse sales in 2 weeks ... felt it was safer in the box for the first tail wash .. Bit stubborn so will have our work could out to get him trotting and walking confidently

Bodacious

sorry pic quality is rubbish .. was out mountain checking the cows and spotted 2 foxes at distance.. messing around doing the rabbit call and never watched the one get so close behind me.. he was about 7ft away(taken by iphone in the dark in daytime mode so it looks further away but he was on top of me I had to lash kick at him as he kinda rushed the last few feet at me as I was trying to zoom in and I thought he was going to lunge upwards towards me/the lamp

A good shotgun there is what is needed

good man.. I have the gun there but they don't bother me at the moment.. im planning on getting 20 good ewes to clean out after cows so maybe if I lost a few lambs to them id be more inclined to shoot them..

Every fox is a target here. Lost 8 or 9 lambs to them this Spring.

Same around my area

Conmaicne Mara

Seeing as everyone else is putting theirs up, I have a large project under way here

Photo 1.
Specialised digging equipment bought in for the job. I had to buy it in just for this job as I'm told there are not many people around anymore who know how to operate complicated excavating tools such as the fine example below. I have not decided yet, but I may sell on DD after the job is complete, keep an eye out.

Photo 2.
With the sections cut I then had to haul the spoil away from the project area. This task required niche skills of providing a lubricated (read wet) pathway and plenty of forward momentum delivered by Dunlop shod shanks mare.

Photo 3.
God, I am informed, has declined to make any new land. So, I decided I would. Naturally this will cause waves on my SFP maps in the Spring, but needs must. On wards and upwards.

Photo 4.
Finished for the morning. 700 yards of finely crafted brand spanking new watercourse

I'm sure the owner would take you up on that offer. He said he's never hit rock in his 40years working his farm. He said he thought he hit rock 8 or 9 years ago when digging out for a slatted tank, but is was only a large boulder.

I can't even imagine that. I remember someone talking to me about foundations before, sure just go into the field and scoop out the soil and work away.

Had to explain about rock breakers, and explosives
