MJB1

Well what annoyed me today was looking through CT magazine , & seeing a 50th jubilee massey ferguson. that alone didnt annoy me ,what annoyed me was the fact than our esteemed leader 'Lord Ferguson' didn't make sure the members of the massey massive had made sure we had all ordered one. To see the tractor in the mag & not to have known through our lord & master was disturbing to say the least & after 5/6 different sites i did manage to get hold of one of only two left in stock. I consider myself to be lucky in obtaining one of these most precious of tractors with no thanks to lord fergo. Trying to call udi was also a waste of time , as probably seeing whose number was trying to call him he knew what i was after & tried to obstruct me from getting one. I'm afraid i nearly called a vote of no confidence for the massive leader, but on this occasion i'll let it pass . mjb1 ,massive member ..............................so to speak

managed to get a white 50th jubilee massey from farmmodels , one of the last two left !

very nice models all round , looking forward to having the ftf model

just like thomas' scratchbuild 's it's brilliant watching them come together bit by bit good stuff malcy will see if i can get a pic of a local SF70 & yes the constant was out before the markant

like the wagon & drag FM , but i think the unit ought to be stretched a bit longer than it currently sits

looks lovely soil to plough gav even the press breaks it down nice , last time i used a press the before & after effect looked the same :D would love to plough again even for just an hour :'(

they've been case for many years now mate , but i think the mx gave them a lot of trouble as it was always in bits in the workshop, i think the last straw was when they had two consecutive demo tractors from their C-IH dealer,which both kept braking down they still have a 5?40 maxxum that hasnt had much of anything go wrong

almost a world away from our silage scenes

lovely pics brian , will catch up on the rest of the series when i can now

& left the beast till last so to speak , an MF 6490, which has just replaced a C-IH mx 135 or as the driver said , "at least i got the right red now"

not a common sight a ford 3930 & just for texas, a claas arion 630C farmer also had 2 other claas & one renault , but were out feeding cattle at another farm

ah ? think i have something for you today mate ! coming up after the next two pics good ole daisy brown 885 sort of retired ,a 6711 zetor with brand new rear tyres \ shame they're only 28"s

3 greens next , 2 good ones & 1 better one JD 6900 & 6430with loader Deutz 78.07C with an ECON rear feed bucket

from 19/8/08 > 22/8/08 1st up C-IH 885 it's bigger brother from the same farm , a C-IH 5130

no we really dont need the smell here either, so off back to wiltshire with you welcome to the forum CMB often up round your way, i'll wave every time i go to stonehouse

welcome along to ftf quirky jsut sit down & enjoy & become slowly bankrupt :D

god ferguson you're such a tart , just be patient & wait like the rest of us :D

err.. yeah went all poncy for a moment , thought i was david bailey :D no problem , you keep looking i'll keep posting moi ? as if i would ? :D yeah bit of a bugger really tris , had 8t of blend on the front & 12 of nut's on the back, all ar$e about face really but he wanted the nuts off first but dont think it would have made much difference anyway, full difflock & dumped the air on the pusher, still no avail , could have driven a bit faster & took a run up i supose , but there's a bend half way up the drive & if i'd have slipped off the corner i'd have needed a bit more than a JCB300 & a few tractors to get me out ! the 76 is a bit of a rareity,never a great seller , & was dropped from the range when the 69 was introduced,too big for the ammount of power it had , but it did have the power shift that the 69 didnt as for the 7810 , really like those tractors

i know what you mean mate , if they were trying to match the colours to the fleet of deere's they had then you'd have thought they would have specified yellow wheels as well, if not mf red would have done , seems odd doesn't it i think they were built by marston anyway

? did i miss something here Ol ?

last pic for now a JD 7810 waiting to get supplies from mole valleys retail store at cullompton brilliant tractor

got another yard tractor ,a ford 3000 another valtra , the other deere's were out the back fields hitched to various implements , but too mucky to walk out to get pics his JD 6650 forager

got a 590 to do the yards , but for sale if anyones interested ?£2000 + but rough as hell & has been rolled apparently a big JD user & fan,he's got 11 tractors on the fleet, but is now changing to Valtra & by his own admission says the valtra is the better tractor nice chap even offered me a job

saturday morning , only one load that should have taken 6 hours at the most , but because of the heavy rain & holliday traffic , took 10 hours lower twitchen farm between barnstable & ilfracombe home of Bernie Worth contractors , usually getin the farm no problem , but because the track was muddy , i needed a tow to get upto the bin , JCB 300TM to tow me in

the 5475 & straussman feeder 135 & QD cab
