A farm sale is been conducted within a few weeks locally included in the sale is a ferguson brown 1936 apparently there are only 3 in the country (so i have been told) and this tractor is likely to some reports going to make a very high price http://www.livestock-sales.co.uk/farm_machinery/2009_sale_reports/0523skitby.html

Well folks Richies now headed overseas,i was out for a quick drink or 2 with him last thursday night and he, his wife and daughter flew out on sunday morning,13 hour flight to singapore then a further 5 1/2 hours onto perth.He has been a great guy to know and i hope to see him again in the future. In the time i have known him i was lucky enough to see his farm layouts when he had them on display in his loft and met him on several occasions at model shows,vintage rallies and visits to each others homes,hopefully he will be back on the forum in the near future.

Whats wrong with the delightful sound of the purrrrrkins engine on the 135

The best 1 within driving distance on a sunday is Harrogate there is 1 on there on 31st jan http://www.collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk/events/default.asp

There is usually 1 the 1st sunday into the new year but on this occasion there was no adverts in local press (normally is) no signs on A69 entering carlisle and from what a trader told me in november who allways attends the carlilse fair that there are to be no more after poor attendances over the previous meets Carlisle toy fair is ran by a chap called Peter Eagle i cannot find any info on him at all

Ill second that comment,every word you have just said sums up exactly why a loader tractor is so handy-especially on livestock farms where telehandlers in some areas of the country are few and far between.

What on earth has happened to britains now,surely they could have continued developing ifor williams trailers-after the last success with the cattle/flatbed why lose out ............another negative from me im sorry to say

With the so called 'credit crunch' will puchasing be on a lower scale than usual Having recently tried selling older farm toys at a local vintage rally (nice dry warm day,good turnout) for the 1st time i created plenty intrest but not much money changed hands,this was my first time and probably my last.

The photo of the frosty tree lined lane is superb - an interesting collection you have put on there
