Next up is the previous flagship, the trusty 1978 Ford 7600 with nigh on 15,000 hours, though no-one really knows as the clock was stopped for a good few years during the 90's when she did most of her work. Currently configured for match ploughing, her other duties include spreading fertiliser ahead of the one-pass, spraying, mowing, hay turning, hauling loads and generally playing second fiddle to the 6650.

Due to join the fleet soon is this Valtra 6550 with Stoll loader, seen here in the yard of the previous/current owner: Her duties are currently being fulfilled by this 6400 with Tanco T100 loader on loan from the dealer, in between literally 'braking' down Thought you'd be the one to stick a post in when I'm not finished yet! >

More of a member's fleet really than member's tractor but here goes. This is a pictorial tour of our fleet of 'driveable' machinery, including the two Isuzu jeeps: First up is the flagship 2001 Valtra 6650 with just over 4000 hrs. Main duties include ploughing, one-passing, spreading fertiliser, mowing, baling and hauling anything that needs to be hauled, but has been known to turn her hand to other things.

It's called Poteen ;D

I put big wheels all round on a cabless Ford 2120 to make it into a County \

Good conversion ther Rab. We have a single one like the pic above that we use as a counterbalance with a bale on the back of our Ford 6610 when drawing silage bales. It also means you bring one extra on each run (we usually have a second tractor pulling the trailer and the Ford loads and unloads)

That's my kind of farmer!!! :P

I just want to say that my brother bought a Powerfarm TW off ebay that was seized as well, I sent him a link to this page and he said he tried the tips on here and it worked a treat!

Perhaps 6 was the number of boxes in a case/carton? We'll have to get that put up as Marky's profile picture :D

In classic Homer Simpson style: Mmmmmmm, 8100 peat special :)

Are thoae type of slurry stirrers any good, thay looka a bit naff to me? I know a fella who has one, he calls it the propeller :D

Maybe that's exactly what they want to avoid! :D

The bonnet styling is quite similar to the Brazilian Valmets \. How long have Massey had tractor manufacturing operations in Brazil?

Not before you put the head back!! :D

Nothing a good panel beater couldn't sort out ;)

I know :. Point is it is CARTING not KERTING, regardless of how you say it in your part of the world. Not getting on to you Murray but you might as well spell it right as wrong, its the same number of letters

Yes yes, I love peat stuff too!!!

Well why didn't you say so? :D I suppose this is going to a big estate paddy field where the drivers want the extra luxury of not having to breate in lungfulls of dust all day!!

It was taken off, you can see that it was the last bit put in, after the engine. Get your glasses checked young man!!! :D

Looks to be just the rear wheels and the cab off a Jaguar really \ \

Murray can you please tell me what 'kerting' is???

Had this link emailed to me yesterday. Pretty amazing how they strip down the combines, even the rear hood and engine comes off!! http://www.geoffrelphtractors.co.uk/loadingcontainer.html

I don't think I'd go match ploughing with a bar point \ \ But then if its what you have and its just for fun it would be good enough i suppose

I'd say you'd want something pretty heavy to pull a plough like that as there wouldn't be any weight transfer to the tractor wheels as with a mounted or semi-mounted plough

I think my brother got a dealer boxed 5000 from toptractor
