got a horrible feeling ben the farm it belongs to is surrounded by another farm with only private access to it , as there's a few lanes here with no through road & private drive signs up

the trouble with all that speed mart is that you spend less time enjoying it

nice harvester colm , there's one local to me , keep seeing it harvesting from the motorway , but yet to figure out how to get near it what makes it worse is that it cant be more than a mile away from my house

more than anything i'm waiting to see how you glaze the cab , as i have the ford & fiat waiting for something do be done with them , may have to get the NH version as well at some time

yeah a 785 i think colm , early one as well, still had the early decals & inter front grill yes the digger is a IH260 i think

wasn't smish looking for the same criteria in a tractor a while back ? btu had a bit of trouble locating a decent 7810 or 390 at sensible money .well the tractors i'd opt for would be massey 3085 /3095 ? C-IH 956 / 1056 ? JD 3050 / 6610 ? Fiat winner 110 / 140 ? ford/nh 7740 / 7840 ? although i'm a MF man , i'd go for the C-IH 956 /1056, all mechanical & bullet proof

yes mate it's a 1594 on a D plate , 85/86ish ? quite tidy all over , bit of polish would bring her up a treat really

got to admit i'm struggling to think of a make of tankers whose colours are red oxide tell you what mate , get a bit of dirt on it & it'll look like the decals have worn off & the paintwork has faded , will look a treat shoved in the corner of a yard with stingers growing around it

& the last one for tris

& my lorry went in for MOT this week so had this to play with always liked driving the XF & would be great to have one all the time , but not really suited to the job , so will have the volvo back later on in the week, but driving the big white XF made it feel like i was one of the nolans ! thats the haulage company ,not the sisters \ *oohhhh i'm in the mood for dancin....................*

7 pipes & then had to tie the pipe with baler twine ! this really isn't on nowadays but it still happens , the instructions on the delivery ticket says to blow cake evenly, tough , i tie the pie up & let it go, i'm not standing up there in all that dust, & judging by the speed the workers left the yard when i turned up neither were they

but what really annoys me is that most farmers will spend thousands on new machinery & treat it badly , but when ask for £50 to be spent on a coulple of peices of pipe for the dairy , it's a major expence that might just bankrupt them

check out the new tyres on the massey ££££££

oops forgot these , a few from a farm in cardigan from last week !

no probs Ol got to take the rough with the smooth colm went & collected some stuff from a small holding but felt more like a hippy comune , really nice people,with a tidy little farm ,he's trying to get on in the world of unusual breeds thing & has about 20 bison & 30 elk , really nice to be able to walk amongst them , unfortunately i forgot me camera but the day before when we went i had it & snapped off a few tractors he had about the place

apart from one i've seen with the type of cab shown above the usual 275's i've seen have had the duncan cab fitted , chap where i used to live always split the cab to get right up in the eves for silage

looks bl00dy huge when yer knelt down to take the pic mate

i did ask that Ol , but driver said , once the pit fills , the rest of the grain just spreads itself across the yard , so they only open the tailboard once it stops coming out the hatch

think he sold them to Ol tris ?

still on the ball tim ! good to see marky milkybar kid always waving

a masterclass in farm buildings

thats the place , as for the pet hate ? , the number plate with the drivers name on

next day on the way past the yard i saw one of jez's gang delivering some new shiney stuff
