another on of the manitou by the time i'd taken penny for a walk & had some munchies , i'd missed the 7530 & the 6920 back round tipping so got a few more of the 79

in next was their 7920 but it didn't take long for the night to draw in so snapped off a few of the manitou

while i was walking around i took a few pics of what SMARTS enginering had in the yard a well used but tidy 3040 & cerne valley contractors 6810 forager

best post a few more i spose PICS FROM 3-9-08 > 6-9-08 had a night out at dorcherster mill on wednesday& parked up near the mill / corn sheds & snapped a few of these , first 2 pics the JD 7530 tipping corn , bit wet that day but the field they were cutting was on top of a hill & the strong winds were blowing it enough to keep going , although it was still being dried they still had about 200 acres left to cut

that was taken at SMARTS enginering nr dorchester (dorset), their yard is about 300 yrds from one of our mills on the piddlehinton estate ,didn't look at the name plate on the dash as they're a bit of a pet hate of mine \ got a few pics of the estates deere's i'll post up in on my journeys page in a bit

that phone doesn't take some bad pics jez , did like that TW chuffing along though found one of your lot down round my way a few days back

blimey , i see some tidy & clean scraper tractors around on my travels , but yet to see any with fitted carpets lovely pics

nice pics ben , as opposed to the others , likeing the combine

if yer anything like me gav you cant wait to start harvest & soon as you start you cant wait till it's all done & dusted

probably because that colour blue fendt was only available with the bale wrapper & not sold separately, the 411 as i remember was fendt green as 411 stated on the box , the model he has there is a 412, in a 411 box

seen it across a field or so on the road from Dorchester > Wool , just before you go through Newburgh

nice pics mark , some proper classics , there , i'm wondering if the 4840 is the one from near wool dorset , & the 1135 looks down but certainly not out ,

thanks for shareing you day with us malcy, as per usual great pics , & for some reason a sort of slow willed calming satisfaction of seeing 'proper machinery' being used & not the apparent rip tear of the new gear trying to keep up with it's self

sorry mate was looking at ihatepoundland's pictures before this

ah now that would be a great pic tris , whats to days equivilent to the taskers tillage train ? the solo? amazone certaur?, sure one of them could be converted . you going to be keeping this for yerself mark ?

nice bit of work there nige , but please STOP SHOUTING , thanks mate

rather not \

numpty her anyhow ben her profile pic isn't the right way up \

looks like a strong brand loyalty with that farm , thanks for the pics rob , i really ought to get about a bit more \

looks a bit techno to me john , you sure you know how to use it & have you got the emergency number to the 7 year old at the primary school to re-programme it when it goes wrong \ all hi tech stuff john ,was this part of a package for the tractor ? or a separate purchase for just acurately mapping the farm ?

lovely pics TT seriously john , that wheat looks better than some of the stuff down here,at least it's standing ! why chopping ? i'd have thought straw would be at a premium this year,heard of a chap this way whos had to go back to his round baler as the straws so brittle , the D1000 size bales he does keep dissintergrating soon as they leave the baler all looks well

if you regularly travell to plymouth on the A38 ,about 20miles from exeter on the righthand side some ways you'll have seen a yard full of plant & farm machinery near liverton , south devon . This is vallence contractors , & the fact their yard is by the side of the A38 is all i know about them , at the moment they have 3-4 black fendt 718's / 820's ? so i have looked up their site & they offer a lot of services . have we got any members down that way, that maybe see them about or use them ? pictures anyone ? http://www.tvallance.co.uk/index.html

funnily enough john, with all that great machinery about i too was drawn straight away to the roof trusses \ lovely curve instead of angles just wondering that although we have some well known contractors in our area's , does anyone know a contractor with this ammount, size,sort of kit ?

bales i imagine rich \
