for want of a better word & the condition of the tractor yes it is a siku hitch stuck on the front. do you have any tractors that havn't been..........er..................... modified by your goodly self MM :D

THE smaller BARN :D :D worried for a moment there as i first read the topic as 'my breasts' \ \ :D

it will be a sad day when they retire that peice of machinery off :'( morning boss

it may be poor quality now but it was brilliant, when it first came out if i remember rightly that the coulter setup was metal & not plastic ? can't remember if i still got the original one or not ,i think that the two i've got are plastic coulter models but i must of had them since 79-80 easily. Like many others i have used one of these drills for real pulled by a 575 & 590 ,YES i was MF leaflet driver in my head :D :D Oh & the ammount of ground you could cover in a day compared to a combination drill : Andy ,if the drill is 30yrs+ is this the longest running product model britains have ?

taken years off me that has martin thanks ,i can almost smell it exhaust fumes :)

rubbish balers for a start & we had plenty of labour back then. even in the years gone by we made hard work for ourselves ,my bet is that we just didn't get it & somebody thought 'that would knock someone off the trailer that would !' missing the point entirely

R.I.NY have you got any pics of the bale thrower in action ? as thse were fotted to some euro balers but wasn't an option in the uk for safety reasons . apart from a NH & class balers no bale from any other make of baler would have survived the trip from baler to trailer :D

no sorry mate , i did a few days on the organic runs last year for omsco (interoute has contracts for milklink , omsco & firstmilk) i havn't been back since \

looks like the leyland version . did you know that the 'ergonomic' cab was designed by scania

erf ec 11 fantastic wagon & probably the last true erf made, i could wind mine up to 80mph at 44tons & pass every thing that passed me on the hills ? :D ,twin splitter ,a very near perfect truck ? pic2 that a leyland or an AEC

?20 :o :o :o you could of had mine for less

hardly call that battered john ,worked hard yes ,but not battered

not unless they were atatched to some thing , the only other thing i can thinkof is dipping but it's very wastefull & it drips OR paint the wood afore you build them ?

hanging & spraying ?

got to get yer pics smaller though

best post them up mate :)

:) :) wish i had a room that i could just walk in to & do stuff

good model djm best hide it from F-P though :)

heres a rough old bus, started from the slurry ramp every day,for scraper work, once running it's left running all day ,& it runs their 2 drum mower for silage & hay, the cow muck has eaten the rims right off the wheels so how the tyres stay on god only knows

not an international fan TOG but that 3788 looks in pretty good nic so does the 1805 .the bigger masseys & the snoopys are getting quite collectable over here now. marky there's a chap in wales thats got an 1805 with a V8 detroit diesel fitted , were these an optional fitment as he recons it's all original . it's got front linkage for a mower & silage wagon hitched up to it all year round for zero grazing . sounds great but smokes like buggery

nice pics TOG like the 4.70, real gutsy little tractors,very quick & agile , are there many other deutz round near you ?

your drill too dark marky ? & as for the weights i dont think they were included in the later models ?but still used the original pics i suspect this arguement has been fueled here before ? TM will know whats what as he found it hard to find 2 old MF drills the same shade for another 'cut n shut' drill convo :)

good pic kentman but i bet that fergie doesn't strike out with the harvester :) like the harvester :)

errr.....................thanks i think \ :D :D

see what you mean about the size for the walls bit bigger than brick but not big enough for block ,unless of course they were layed on their flats \ but looking again they don't look too bad at all i like the pallets especialy the chep ones your new jcb looks at home in there as well
