Smithy, she will now need a green tractor to match it 😆

Yes , i will have to lend her out to my mate colin that farms next door as he has a Deutz😂, on your theory i am clad she did not win a Lexion or a Ideal 😂

Granddaughter Jasmine pulling the Pluton around a headland , headland just needed a bit of levelling in places and corners where plough dont get needed moving ,hopefully we will get another few frosts before we drill the sugar beet and spring barley in this field . Recent dry days and strong winds have dried the top but its wet and puggy underneath  

We had a visit from a nice lady from Farmers Guide Magazine , my granddaughter Jasmine had entered a spot-the-difference competition and she was one of the lucky winners .  

Forgot to take photo out in field but this is back in the yard washing machine down after spreading a bit of Origin Polysulphate

Nice Case 165 👍

Whilst I am a little long in the tooth to belong to a Young Farmers Club, I still went along as a spectator to their charity road run today. I counted 91 tractor taking part on a route through North Cheshire/south Warrington. There was the usual mix of ancient and modern with the majority of the newer tractors being either John Deere or New Holland and a fairly equal split between the two brands. There were a smattering of others in the newer categories, 1 x Massey, 2 X Valtra and one X Kubota but a fair mix amongst the older marques. One thing that stuck out to me was the absence of any Leyland tractors and also no Sames especially as we used to have a very good dealer in the area.

I won't post all 91 photos but here are just a few to give you an idea:

 

That Major has got big back wheels for speed hope its got brakes to match

I got another display cabinet. My 1/16s are taking the top shelf. I purchase them from Argos all the time. They are ideal for models and not very expensive. Unfortunately Argos are pulling out off Ireland with in the next few months. So I said I'd better get one more before they go. I don't think they will ship from the UK in the future to here.  

 

 

You will have to hire Trigger to nip over to UK with his truck and ship some back for you😂

Really Sean???  I only said Valtra Q because unlike most of the rest of the tractor models shown at Nuremburg they were the finished article and not resin moulds or a cardboard flyer with a release date on it!!  Some of the people who post on here are in the trade and presumably get to hear news of whats coming next before the rest of us. No need for sarcasm!

I am sure he was pulling your leg Phil ,i am awaiting them as well ,dont worry i know where he lives i will go and let his tires down 🤣😂.

Ps sean that is a joke 👍you good bloke as you helped me translate the mcdonalds menu while at Zwolle👍

I went to Lamma expecting to buy 2 white ones,2 black ones and 2 of the special ones but nothing ,i asked on the stand where fan shop was and they said they did not have anything to sell so no shop 😗 so me and Goody went and bought a load of Kubutas instead 😅

I have asked 2 people in the trade and 1 person in the magazine reveiw section about the Valtra Q and nothing on them at the moment ,they had the black and white ones at sima ,i bought the black one ,should have got white one as well ,the special one in a grey(i think ) should have been availbile in janurary but like i said no one has any details on them 

Very nice model there ,well done 👍

Trees think spring is here ,will doing this bit i had some company ,could not get any closer before it flew off 

My view this morrning ,winter barley looks ok 

Done this and a bit more for parrish council in next village its on common land ,hedge and brambles had spread out a good way 

Last week or so as its so dry we have been able to run around fields and get hedges trimmed up
