well at least you were working over the weekend a not messing about like me and marcus!

my old t20 sold this spring so i could buy a new haybob massey combine 595 with mf 1450 baler the mighty 590 being driven by a great little chap called tom!

now for some blue ones i think milo may recognise this chap! tom getting a ride in the tw!

now the mighty 168! poor fella barely stopped grinning all weekend!

well as marcus already has the topic up and running i'll just add my photos in some tractors you will have seen some may be not! for sale £5 450 a 165 on what looked like very small wheels a lovely 135 restoration

been at the local vintage show today with marcus(mjb) and got a few pictures strangely none of him or his tractor but i'll do that tommorrow

do you know why they were picking up the straw with the forage harvester?

yeah they were quick as well so it actually works out cheaper to get them in as opposed to trimming them ourselves renault was new to him this year with a 1 yr old trimmer and the nh 's trimmer will be replaced at the end of the year as it is 2yr old now and giving grieef

just clearing my camera for tommorrow so a few photos from the last couple of weeks p://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv84/tractortim/P8110080.jpg

looking like a nice buy very straight and honest will it get the full restore or a tidy and as is?

what a great mix of models and real shots and some interesting machines too!

the 1200 looks well worth saving if it had the glass in it and wasn't parked in the nettles it would look alot better or even better would be to see it in my shed!

they are galv local chap has one if i get chance i'll get a photo over the weekend!

i imagine the tx is one of the last haven't seen many with a later reg number yeah not sure what the bales would look like if it was to bale loose straw quite untidy i would imagine and loose! i hope to find out soon hopefully with alend for a local working event!

that issue has the comparison between the 7810 7840 ts115 seo it will show the progression of the 7810 through the years

yeah theres a loader for the 590 althoughth tractor doesn't look healthy at the moment as i drove it under a low tree and bust all the exhaust the fuel filter housing and the radiator! the number plate is '06

the broken down tx66 belongs to a contractor pattens of north curry and the cx belongs to a large arable farmer called mike limm at curry rivel the bales from the baler seem quite good as they are already in stooks befiore they go in the baler we top and tale the stooks so the bale remains quite level when it comes out

was out and about today and came across my local thatcher gathering up his crop using a howard rotabaler never seen one working so was quite interested to see it working he has two more in the shed as spare balers apparently they all work am trying to get him to lend me one for our local vintage shiow. after stooking they lay them all down and bale them into bundles and then store them in some redundunt chicken houses to be threshed and combed later in the year was quite a good visit as i may be the proud owner of a mf 150 plough if i plough his ground for him this autumn i can have it as part of the deal!

and todays vintage collection!

back to todays activitys the modern stuff!tha first combine had thrown a wobbler and chucke the belts off the engine for no reason it seems tha other nh combine was new last year and was grunting on through the osr certainly was using its power

these were all taken a couple of weeks ago when i made some hay!

i think the tvo conversion was done by loddon thats what it'll say o n the manifold does seem strange to have the two seperate tanks was probably cheaper as you bought the conversion kit and the little tank rather than a new big twin compartment tank?

nice pictures maybe you could rotate them 90 degrees?
