various sprayers and large Tractor & trailers in the distance while out with the missus today But especially miffed to have missed 2 chances to stop and photgraph a couple of MF265 ? tractors working with very ancient 2-row potato planters just outside Stokesly (on the road to Helmesly) today

terrific detail And very well presented & photgraphed

As I parked up at Nunnington Hall (nr Kirbymoorside) late this morning I heard a roar and went back to the road and a "Tractor Run" had pulled into a layby...4 grey Fergies (one with bonnet up) a pristine MF35 and one less so, a MF165 and JD 1130....and my camera went on the blink !!!

There's some nice stuff out there ! I haven't seen the potato planting teams for a couple of days but theres some spraying going on (an MF6455 and a couple of self-propelled jobbies) also a team picking carrots with a classic JD and new Case MX. Trouble is, they are close to work and I have been in a rush either way !

thats a good start Lee !

It looks like your weather is the same as ours - generally GRIM but hey ho, it is Winter !

it's blowing a Hooley in East Yorks tonight (already lost one more fence panel !)

Despite the naff weather,care for stock still goes on. the only things I've seen all holiday were a large Case leading a trailer full of muck to a heap at Bishop Burton Coollege and a JD 6610 & triffit trailer doing the same at Shiptonthorpe

Great idea Tris ! looking forward to it. I had a similar thought today while brain dead (with the missus shopping) to resurrect my "small secret collection" and make a snow scene

It was -4 in glorious sunshine when I scived off from work and went for a run - so no camera to catch a Case 5140 and Howard rotary spreader working in a foot of snow !

A glorious Friday morning in Angelsey when I left to come home but absolutely awful from Saddleworth Moor right over to East Yorkshire...however, Thursday was fantatsic - as you may see if you look at my post about to be complied in another section !

the wife.....

nice to catch up with your pics again, Mart. lovely countryside up your way !

PS I thought we already had a bangs and scrapes folder to put this sort of thing in ? PPS Look out ! I have a selection of this years shots to post (but struggling to download them off my new digital SLR )

On the way home from the Lake District the other day (the scenic route between Dent and Hawes), I came across this poor thing, apparently bogged down while grass cutting. No idea how long it had been there etc.

there are a few classics round here I've photgraphed before, but was late home from work so didn't have chance to stop for a MF135 with ancient "over the top" style hedge trimmer

My last regular journey home from Holyhead was Thursday evening - nothing seen until it was dark near the end of the M62/A63 when harvesting was in full swing to try and beat the advancing Thunderstorms - tried to 'graph a NH CX series + T6020 & trailer but it was far too dark for the others. It was drying out today but with the family in the back, no chance to stop for a Class harvesting near Driffield, and a big NH plus JD harvesting nearer Beverley.

On a trip round holderness area on Sunday, things were really busy - JD82xx with front cultivator+ rear disc/roller train, several classic and new Fords and cse quadtrack ploughing/cultivating, NH and JD combines...all with the fmily in the back complaining if I was tempted to stop and get the camera out ! Today was really hit & miss. Brough-beverley after work there was only a well-photographed TX34 combining, then later out for a run south of Beverley a really photogenic Ford7810 with vicon baler....just packing up for the evening, then a MF combine & large MF tractor well in the distance. Just shows, I can't win !

A TM150 and spreader to the south of Beverley leaving a trail of mud and s**t on a road while I was out running (and trying to avoid it !) Missed a brillaint photo opportunity the day before with a Cat Challenger and Valderstadt drilling near Etton - but my Missus was in a hurry !

You have my sympathies ! Traffic wasn't moving at all round our side until really late, so can't blame women or anyone in particular !

A kind gentleman with an 08-reg'd MF7495 at the top of the slip road to the A63 at the Humber bridge, pulling cars up stuck on the snow & ice !

I saw these as well today ! There's helluva lot of kit in their yard.

And this is a sight I haven't seen for a long long time.... Thats it for now, must pack up for work in the morning. Hope you enjoyed the sunshine !

I hadn't seen this type of bale pickup before, late evening onthe Wolds near Driffield...

and I really like this shot...(even though I do say so myself !)
