Driven my first tractor(s)   My younger self would have been so proud!

Visited Hartpury College

Still busy with the elephant grass but getting there  doing a 60 hectre farm at the mo but should finish tuesday . But i have got my puma 155 on the front (so i am a happy bunny) Had a nice drive on thursday in the puma 180  got rained off from planting went down to taunton from chippenham to pick up the patch planter  two hrs 20 mins (with no wrong turns) Then 1 hour and 45 mins back to another farm plus three hours in the truck ready for bed that night 

I hadn't realised there was so much travelling involved, you cover a lot of ground )   

Luke this is one of the most realistic dioramas I've seen, excellent photographs too!

1. Your lighting is great, is the set up in a greenhouse/ conservatory or something?

2. How did you create your ground; mixed static grass for the meadow, fish tank stones for the mud?)

Could i have a close up on the loadall with the fert bag

My first blue muledozer from Ebay and i've already broken the f.....g thing....

Superb photos

yes too close mate loads of kids picking up your models all day   learnt my lesson fast  they won,t get near it next time 

I can imagine how irresistible it must be for kids  who want to pick them up- nearly succumbed myself at Toytrac, almost a reflex action when I see a model tractor 

Brief visit to Lister Wilder in Cirencester, lots to see including-

Fendt 930 & 933 Vario (huge!)

MF 6260, 6290, 6465, 6480 & 8480 Dynashift, MF 8937 telescopic.

Merlot p32.6

Kubota B2110

& much more besides. Might take a few photos next time I'm there.

Didn't get all of it mind  I only had the little Stihl saw to play with...

Recession, what recession?! some of you folks have bottomless wallets  

Digging and hacking a gigantic Magnolia stump

Beautiful work, such detail on Leverett's farmyard in particular, and not too crowded! (Not sure about the  sky backdrops though, looks like it's on a clifftop!  \ )

Is that a post hole basher in photo 8?, I need a close up!

Oil drums in the next photo look familiar..

From what I can see these layouts are even more accessible than the ones at Toytrac, you can really get close. Lovely stuff.

digger man took his tea so we took in to grease the dump trailers

How many grease points for a dump trailer like this typically? Is it necessary to lubricate mid-job?

Strange question, sorry!

You can buy a 4020 for about £12-14, the Fiat Halftrack is worth £50+ and you want to cut it up  :o :o

No, both of mine have lost their tracks. I'll take my chance on the 4020..

What does the wife think about all this lot, do you have some sort of 'special arrangement' or have you split? 

14 white fences, "County Farm" gate, 11 old wall pieces, 595 drw + Superflow cultivator, 1991 catalogue

Price of MOT repairs 

We only do about 150 acres a year but still a demand for her .But it is a steady little number so don't want to much more The only other drills we have are both 4 mtr amozone power harrow combi one with narrow spacings and tyre packer rollers. We are selling hs2000 round wrapper and the 998 square .Old mx 135 is gone and xtx 185 gone and xtx 200 possably and a nh chain round bailer To be replaced with new hs200 and 998 and two pumas 165 and 155 both with front links and pto 

Any chance a quick mobile snap if you use either? 

Cheers 

Hi can anyone tell me the catalogue number for a Bomford Superflow cultivator?

I have been lasy with taking pics lately (sorry) but will try harder this week as we should start mowing and baling the elephant grass 

So the elephant grass is ready for cutting now steve? How many cuts do you get in a typical year?

Finally got a Brian Norman DB Cropmaster 

Any pics?
