we also had a red one , but never got a pic of that one

lely kuhn , it was red wasn't it :D

here's the 8100 i used to drive colm, lovely tractor

& to draw this to a close for the day a well worn 565 massey with a very cheap & nasty feed wagon in aylesbury

& the second pic is of a well known machine that due to the rising fuel cost seems to be ready to be revived from the hedges the bomford dyna-drive

& now for something completely different took off a set of pics of a SIMBA 3m X-PRESS coupled to a SIMBA ST-BAR ripper got enough pics for anyone who'd want to atempt a scratch build /conversion

couple of views of the mighty V8 that powered these giants

view of the cab preety good condition considering she's been stood up , no sign of mould on the seats & didn't smell musty,but much of the electrics have been gutted the grain tank, looks small now but considered cavernous in it's day

we've seen her before , but a few more pics for mark , she's an 865 & on a C plate 85/86 ? she was parked there as a runner & left due to severe rusting in the guts , & costing too much to repair was left to rot :'(

bit of machinery for a bit now an MF 22 10 tonne trailer & typical of these trailers although surprised not to see a repaired drawbar it does show the signs of overloading i could load 12-13 tonnes of corn on these 10 tonners ,so easy to do but as you can see the chassis doesnt like it if you click to enlarge the 2nd pic you'll see the front quater of the chassis has bowed

goes in stops & starts mark , i can go for weeks without seing certain brands but just for you, still in hampshire a 5610

if it was that good nick he wouldnt of tried selling it to me :D as for the red macs , well what can i say , the credit crunch has hit hard & these farmers had the fore thought to buy cheap :D i think when the merger with CASE-IH & NEWHOLLAND happened many CASE dealers had their franchise taken , so to keep existing customers happy they went to the next best thing which was to all intensive purposes the mac dont get too comfortable there peter , lord ferguson may want your seat for the next few pics um ? hampshire next MF 35 with MF sawbench , both in original condition & a rebuilt FERGUSON FE35 with cultivator

another red mac on the same farm as above

well just as long as you move around every so often we'll know you havent died of boredom :D umm where are we now ? ahh yes near longleat safari park in wiltshire & a well used but tidy 7810 of which the farmer says it's probably the best tractor he's ever had , at which point i fell to the ground laughing much to his bemusment same farm a wiltshire red mac

& at the back of the shed hiding is a tidy claas 830 & behind the claas there's a welsh red mac with front mounted kuhn mower

the 7600 again & it's younger brother a 7610

& waiting in the same shed is their yard scraper tractor , which is as imaculate as the scraper itself while out in the macheinery shed we find an ex RAF ford 3930 & a tidy 7600

thanks peter , plenty more to come meanwhile on a mountain back up in wales 5610T & 5140 ready for work & a little ford 1900

a stewart farm JD7530 a stewart recycling VOLVO L150 E

a devonshire red mac one of stewart farms JD 6430 at exeter
