That is really lovely. Straight and original. A pre force 5000 takes me back to teenage years. Ours started with a Lambourn canvas cab. Changed to a steel Ford cab when safety cabs became required.Nice day today so went for a load of ewe and lamb nuts cab lessView attachment 1177742

Be careful not to get it dirty
Joking apart. This that mf big enough, when that spreader is fully loaded and under load whacking it out nice and wide.?
Had real wet layers stuff and it was throwing it about 20 metres, now we're spreading real dry layers stuff and it's at 13 meters. That wee tractors handles it alright with the right man behind the wheel, we've all flat land and I've yet to fill it up full which I'm not sure i willJoking apart.

Are you on 540 or 1000 rpm ?Had real wet layers stuff and it was throwing it about 20 metres, now we're spreading real dry layers stuff and it's at 13 meters.

I asked bunnings about pto speed before I started and they said either depending on wetness, i started on 540 and surprisingly it spread the wet stuff that distance, so I'm happy enough. The tractor wouldn't handle the spreader in 1000 but then I don't need to, spread 400 tons so far this last few days and another 200 to go. Wish I had ordered wider tyres for the spreader, some amount of weight at the back of that thing when you get going a bit!Are you on 540 or 1000 rpm ?

I had a phone call few days ago out of the blue, to see if I could help relocate 60000 tons of the stuff to some new homes .I was going to ask “What would you know about it?”
If you can get it across the irish sea stick me down for 1% of that and it'll do me for next years cropsI had a phone call few days ago out of the blue, to see if I could help relocate 60000 tons of the stuff to some new homes .
So I might put my selling hat on again and see what I can do to help them out.
