'eh 'eh led us av a go mate i can do tha go on gizza job eh go on gizza job , ahhhh yosser hughes , master of the kirby kiss ;D & for marky's next buy a massey ferguson 793 4 furrow plough , of which after buying ,he'll forget i have it , i been keeping an eye on this for a while now , one day i may ask if he'll sell it it's just right for the 168

just bring a tent mate i'm sure we can find a space in one of the paddocks for you

yup an MF 711 potato harvester

nice collection alex , like the 100 years ford , i wonder how many other members have one , i have one boxed , the other went into my sons room when he was a baby , unfortunately he grew up with a curious nature & bye bye 100 year ford

cheap labour eh ? bottle of pop & a bag of ready salted do you ? um ...............yesterdays farming i think tim will be just the job for mavis pulling up that lovely light fenland black !

best not eh john \

:) all back to base for now will need new wheels & tyres mate & the winding handles are seized other tham that all's well even have two spare complete tines & the tips are good on them all from what i can see. the machine has done little work at this farm & was on sandy soil on the previous farm

ready to roll ID check lets rock !

well today i are mostly been doing machine collection in the name of our good lord mission ; search & rescue target ; MF 39 cultivator location ;15 miles away total distance there & back ; 29.5 miles total travel time ; 2hrs approx we're going in to have a delve about at the last known whereabouts gotcha !

AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW YESSSSS *( in a churchill stylee)* i'm not always on auto-pilot you know !

not any more bill , marts free to spread his wings

some cracking pics in here lads keep them coming , so much better seeing them all in one topic rather than lots of separate ones , got to say noel, those last few pictures are the best so far , got a bit os everything in them & not all brand new 150HP+ machines. contractors pics are really good , but hold no story to the scene where as the smaller plodders & proper workaday hero's ! i'm really liking the 1594 on the rake & the 76 is also soldiering on nicely

cracking build ian, just like the one i used to drive :) i think it needs a big old heston baler for that wee beastie !

yes they did, although it wasn't tractor mounted , i cant seem to find it on the forum search , but it was an air powered hand held trimmer , badge engineered of course , but i seem to recall a forum member having a leaflet & a disscussion about it somewhere on one of the boards

now then i have seen a Massey Ferguson feed bin, matter of fact i loaded 10T of maize gluten into it ! it's on a farm up on the quantock hills , it was in the days when a mobile phone was carried round in a holdall & a cord connected it to a small car battery so no pics i'm afraid so i suppose it's still standing . i remember looking at it thinking a Massey Ferguson bin .................. really ?......well who'd have thought !

sounds interesting tris , just need a date

don't know mate , but the 3axle grain trailer looks a real beast http://www.dooleybros.ie/agtrailers.html

don't think it's a case of so wrong , but in the days of anything over 80HP is as good as said it'll be a 4wd , it must be quite strange sat up in the cab not seeing any front wheels the size of which you're used to ! nice pics ben thanks for posting

cracking job steve looks bob on mate, will you be fitting the rear axle with steering ? i used to have loads of photo's of those , as used to drive one , awfull things they were to reverse , far too quick if you didn't have your wits about you ;D most dinky tanks have gone now as 8wheelers with a larger tank capacity are the in thing . when i was at sparkford MilkLink there were a good dozen of them waiting to be sold or scrapped !

all except me ..............................i know nothing .......................nope it wasn't me i wasn't here if anyone asks you ain't seen me right

well booted TW25 with 4 leg paraplow cubicle bedding MF184F & a well used 3060

so apart from the foreign generic milk tankers the UK had MMB, MILK MARQUE, DAIRY CREST & ROBERT WISEMAN i haven't seen any others

mercedes ? really?

any pictures then mark ? or do i have to wait for the next CMFE for those

i still find it strange that britains chose a LHD MAGIRUS as a base model, the only other grill decal that really fitted this truck was the IVECO/fiat although it was also rebadged as a leyland,ford & volvo that i know of during it's run
