I then went back to the meadow and got my chainsaw out which i was told to take as i had to cut this tree that was blocking the path to this little shed which inside was a 2 ton trailer and a 20hp siromer similarto the one i already own ,as it had been stored for 5 years with the help of the gardener that had turned up to help me we towed it to the same place as the baler

After giving my mates tractor a steam clean i took some photos and was going to send them off to classic tractor to be put in the for sale section but i then took a call from someone saying that he had been told about it and could he come and look which he did and made a offer very close to what my mate was looking for so we sold it ,it is going to be used to harrow and top some meadows ,but i do expect it to be sold on again later on in the year VID_20210315_174853.mp4

Very sad day but you tractor boys clubbed together and gave him a splendid send off ,thats why i have clicked the like button . -
Bloomfield's, yes did grass kit and they was the best N/H Combine dealer around for parts and service ,they had a big stock of new and refurbished parts on the shelf , all there workers would go the extra mile to help you out , sadly they no longer deal in machinery they only do grain handling equipment ,and i think they are owned by Ben Burgess

Yes it was Len Tuckwell , i had a mate that was in his eighty's when he passed away about 10 years ago he used to demonstrate them , he told me there was 4 or 5 Russians come over to help sort out any problems ,none could speak English , Tuckwells put them in bed an breakfast at i think it was the Cherry Tree Inn at Debenham , the landlord at the time had to call in Len Tuckwell as they had a habit of spitting on the floor

smithy replied to Tractorman810's topic in Model Farms & Layouts
You need another storage shed as i notice you keep your flat 8 grab up on the roof ☺️ . The night time shots look good -
Yes it was Tuckwells of Worlingworth . There is a one man band dealer out near Sudbury that i got a water pump from a couple of years ago ,he is Chris Bright or Brightwell cant remember ,i went there to pick up the pump but the gasket was missing so he said he would deliver it ,i was expecting him to turn up in a van but he pulled into my yard in one of them orange 3 wheeled Bond-Buggies
-
Had to chuckle at this ,inside the big delivery bag was a smaller white bag ,inside the white bag there was a clear plastic bag ,inside the clear plastic bag was a small white box ,inside the box was the part i ordered for my mates yellow David Brown ,a new Glow -Plug . no wonder we have a waste problem with all this unnecessary packaging

Had to go to one of my local dealers this week , AGRI-HIRE at Bramford near Ipswich , the owner Tim Hubert has had his Dowdeswell DP8 A plough that he uses for match ploughing shot blasted and painted up and them rebuilt with new wearing parts ,then he has sat it in a frame with hidden wheels and pushed it into there showroom ,as we cant walk around the show room at the moment i could only take this one photo
