The Big John Deere Volume 10

DVD PAL

This John Deere Vol 10 DVD takes us to
some different parts of the world to
meet up with other John Deere owners
who do different jobs on all the
different farms. Down in Australia we
met up with Dallas Stott who showed us
his new 4940 self propelled sprayer in
action and took the time out to
explain
how it works in the massive paddocks
in
his part of Australia.
Also in Australia we see another one
of
Dallas Stott’s new John Deere 9470RT
track machine with a big 470 hp engine
and his driver Reece Gerhard shows us
around it. When we met up with him he
was pulling a massive ripper behind
him
and it was no bother for the big
machine to pull it along ripping up
the
ground.
We now move across to the Northern
Germany near to the cities of Bremen,
Oldenburg and Osnabruck to a big 450
Hectare farm which produces mainly
cash
crops like Wheat, Rape and Maize for
silage.
The tractor they were using was a John
Deere 8285R Series’ and was running
with a new Dutch Kaweco slurry tanker
with an injector built by the
Vogelsang, which are also based in the
same area.
The target of the injector, called
Base
Runner is to bring the slurry directly
in separate lines on the ground and
give injection in to the grass. This
was filmed through a demonstration of
the new injector in mid September and
the farmer used it for the rest of the
season.
Going back over to Ireland we called
at
John Dan O’Hare’s to see what his boys
were doing. We followed two teams of
his men at work in good weather. Some
of them were cutting, rowing and
lifting the grass and bringing back to
the farmers and sometimes they work in
very narrow gate ways and road ways,
but that doesn’t stop these men from
getting the job done.
When the weather is good and all the
farmers are waiting to get the grass
brought in they will ring John Dan as
they know he has all good equipment
and
can get the job done with no fuss.
Away
up in Northern Scotland we met up with
a big Farming Agriculture contractors
the Sinclair family who have a lot of
John Deere’s in their fleet. They
were
cutting whole crops with a John Deere
harvester and John Deere tractors and
the farmer was also drawing in with
his
Fendt. They were also lifting grass
as
well when we were there. They keep a
lovely well maintained fleet of
machinery, and who also take pride in
their work and they are well known for
getting the job done quickly and
safely.
