New Camera - Tractor Shot

RobS · Jan 1, 2002

How's this shot? I took a bunch more but I won't post them all. I think I've found the metering spot, it's just not as well identified as my 35mm. You can also see how I manage to tuck my tractor, FEL, rotary cutter and box scraper all into one stall of our garage. It's snug but it works /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Rob,
just looking at your tires on your 790. Are those R1's or R4's. I have R4's on my 790. If those are R1's, how well do they work in snow & Mud?

Great shot!

sg, those are R1s I have on my 790. They are great in mud, OK in snow unless there is ice under it and they can really do a number on finished lawn. I was most impressed with them when pulling a disc last fall. I had it set for a pretty aggressive cut and the tires dug right in. I have a lawn tractor for finish mowing so the ag tires work just fine for me. How do you like your R4s /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Now you have lots of green and yellow. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Nice looking tractor and implements. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Rob,
I like the R4's great. They tread softly on the turf, but still dig in quite well when using the FEL or boxblade. I am going to get them filled next week, though. I have a lot of FEL work to do and I think I could dig in a little better with the extra weight. Great lookin tractor!

I've been considering filling my tires as well. I can get Rim-Guard in this area and it seems like a decent choice. What are you going to fill with? How much weight do you expect to add? Do you have one piece rims or adjustable? Seems I've seen 790s with both. I've got one piece. Go GREEN /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: New Camera - Close Up of Tiltmeter

ROB: VERY nice looking home, i just bought a digital camera yesterday, took a few shots but way to large to post. have to change some setting i think. the close up of tilt meter was great, trying to impress us with the reflection on the hood?/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Nice pics. There's several things that you can do to compensate for backlight. Metering is probably the best. You can also see if your camera has a backlight mode. The last thing that I try is forcing the flash. I usually do this even on sunny days as it wipes out any shadows on faces, etc.

Re: New Camera - Close Up of Tiltmeter

Thanks Frank. I was all set to make some off-handed comment about the shiny hood until I took another look at the picture. That is pretty shiny /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I guess I cleaned it up better than I remembered /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

On my camera I have three "quality" levels. I've been posting with the lowest level. The others are too big. I got an HP 318. What did you get /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
