Black Friday Rubbish I went to the midlands machinery show on Wednesday and most of the spare parts companies was trying to sell me powerharrow tines , drill coulters etc order today but we will hold it till Friday so you get the 10% black Friday deals , I told them I have finished with that equipment for this year there reply was but buy them as they are 10% cheaper and come next year with price rises they will be dearer so they wont me to fill up there bank account by putting there stock on my shelf in my shed with parts I don't need for about 8 months , I don't thinks so what little £££ I have is better in my account for the next 8 months than there's . I refuse to buy anything on black Friday deals .

The green book on MODERN TRACTORS ,turn to page 20 the j/d 4240S is the one I used to drive for my neighbour on sugar beet , the picture was taken at the Suffolk Show up at Ipswich as it had pulled the brimont trailer up there as he had made a sheet to cover it up by the tractor hydraulics it was a motor mounted on back of trailer which wound in two steel cables running down the top of the sides of the trailer which pulled the sheet back and forth . You can see one of the cables in the picture , it was at the show as it was in the inventive farmer competition cant remember if it won or came second or 3rd

Two more lovely models Paul , many years ago I pulled a Moore drill behind my Ford 7600 4wd for a dairy farmer not far away from me reseeding some of his grassland I think he had borrowed the drill of somebody but his tractor would not pull it , the farmer and his dairy herd sadly went a few years back . Thanks for sharing pictures .

Them old harrows would have made a mess of you tires had you driven over them , my cousin forgot he had left a set of 8 drag harrows upside down in a grass field and about a year later he went back in that same field punctured all 4 tires beyond repair and one of the harrows went around with the tire and took the mudguard of the tractor
