Agree entirely with that comment. I had quite a few H-Shift tractors from new and as long as you looked after them then they looked after you.

Thanks Sam, that was very kind of you to say that. I ought to know a bit about ploughing though, I've done enough of it. But ploughing is a strange job. I once ploughed a field for 15 consecutive years for one of my customers and I reckon that every year it ploughed differently. The best is when you've ploughed it when it's bone dry one year and haven't mauled it when it's been wet. It will plough a treat the following year.

Thank you for sharing that. Im only seventeen and have been working on the family farm full time for about 8 months. I love learning everything i can and i really enjoy seeing the older kit working. I used to drive an international hydro 84 a few months back and to be fair i liked driving it more than some of these more modern tractors we have now

Thanks again Sam. Just go for it which is something you can do at your age. I am over half a century older than you are but I like to think I learn something new every day. It sounds as if you have set your mind on some sort of farming career and I will pass on some words of wisdom that a lawyer friend once said to me. He was a very clever and well respected man but he said that he envied me. When I asked him why he answered " because you have spent your life doing exactly what you wanted to do" And I now know he was right. Just being outside, working with the soil, the weather, the wildlife etc. What more could anyone want ? It's not all about money but I admit that the stuff acts as a lubricant some days !! Good luck whatever you do.

@rakerman Thank you. It was a bit of nice dirt. When I was near the end of the field I fetched up a very large piece of stone that two of us could only just move with an iron bar to get it into the loader bucket. I was ploughing the field for a neighbour and they reckon that the piece of stone had been a nuisance for many years.

@scooby73465 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jimmy. Used to do a fair bit of ploughing with it when I was contracting, hence the many sets of mouldboards. Last time I used it I cleaned the soil engaging parts off meticulously and then sprayed it all up with proper Dowdswell green. Almost like new now and I doubt I will ever use it again. Everything used to be ploughed but not any more. Different era and I count myself very lucky to have been there.

Thanks d4c24a. No, your eyes are telling you the truth. The exhaust does wobble. It's a poor design. I have to keep dribbling a few spots of weld on the bit of the manifold that it fits on to and then I get too much on and have to grind it off. !!!
