don't think many were actual industrials to be fitted to the sprayer versions tim , i've certainly not seen any 5000 versions but i do remember seeing 5600,6600,6610, articulated units with sprayers. theses were typically a contractors fleet machine , all in chaffer colours on exclusive contract to potato groups , to apply liquid fert supplied by chaffer. i don't know haow many of these contractors are still about as most liquid fert is applied during the bedtilling or planting stages now ,. i do know there is an ex-chaffer sprayunit somewhere up around the shepton mallet / wells area , usesd to see it quite often wheni was on the milk a shawnee poole unit ,now that would be a good seller

like the pics mandy , looks very quiet & peacefull , maybe oneday i'll have the same , till then all hustle & bussle for me \

out standing mate :)

thats very well built , how many hours were put into that little beauty ?

best of 3 ? massey 699 fendt 612 deutz 6.30 although the county 1184 was good to terrorize other road users , as was the 1174 Fc :D JD 4055 just an awsome tractor , DB's are also nice , especialy the 1210 i once used they seemed to have touch sensitive stearing , just the slightest thought of moveing the wheel & you'd be weaving all over the place to keep it straight :D & of course i cant forget the zetor 14145 , beast of a tractor kitted out with lo-profile mich's & little in the way of brakes , not a great drive , but with no brakes it was certainly an experience doing roadwork

i cant be fussed to post them all , so marky can when i've sent it to him , but you get the jist

i can't remember how to post from image shak , so i'll just upload then tyhe old way

all good things come to those who wait

yep just scanning them

had this for years , but never seen another , biot dog eared , but intact ! got one marky ?

one drop at winkleigh , then onto bude , rained most of the time & as per usual with cornish folk all doom & gloom & no smiles, although there was a nice young ladt .... ah herm ..... then reloaded at oakhampton with a load of blend for cannington college, & no sign of luke or his beloved saxo got pembroke & cardigan bay tomorrow \

this all looks great , will enjoy following this

thats a collection worth haveing dan ! the build & finish of your trailers are first class ! & i echo tris's comments about the AW , what a beauty :P :P

made a tidy job of that mate , was glad to see yer bed i bet so you did all the rowing , baleing , & wrapping ? if so you made good time :) i used to dread those words, just about to finish for the day , then to be told everythings go again same as lorrys , got loaded with some concrete pannels , 30 mins away from the yard , to be told to head for glasgow, then onto dundee

very clever idea really , i still see one or two about on farms now although , you also see the trailers , tankers & horseboxes that are beaten about because , someone's forgotten to raise the loader \ \ i think there's been a few convos done on the board as well , right mart

oh just great to meet marky ,gav & ben ? :( :( not me ? :'( :'( :'( i didn't mean to put sugar in your cappacino coffee .......... honestly

thanks mike , unfortunately i don't have a display just the pic on page 2 , but i think ladyfarmer will be putting a few in her display

maybe not as renegade as you'd think , david brown were instumental in the succsess of ferguson tractors , as you can see from pic 18 on page 1 ,the ferguson brown, the small black plaque at the bottom of the radiator , clearly says , 'built by david brown tractors' . indeed if it were not for DB wanting to fit a 4 speed gearbox to production models , harry ferguson may never have gone to henry ford to have the 'ford tractor with ferguson system' 8N built in such large numbers to make the ferguson system the succsess it is today !

thats not what he meant sean \ great to see ford farm for real , so much to look at mark that you don't see on the topic posts , enjoyed that very much , but had to leave early as had an appointment with a lady :P

also think i'm going to have to stockpile a fair few before i sell them mate

good day was had by all i think although , it could have been awfull if it had rained , lots of very interesting stuff down there , with a fair bit in the wings still to be refurbished , good to meet the same old faces & nice to see a few new ones as well . have got loads of pics , but unlike marky , mine don't have the people in front of the subject :D , will post them up at sometime, but not home for a few days so you'll have to wait was good to meet the lovely traci tris , got a good one there mate & very funny as well certainly kept you in yer place !

who's chopper ? :D , will do tris but sooner or later i'm going to have to start charging will phone you in the week mate , good to see you & traci yesday mate

surly you mean in the bark !
