At college this morning some of us did a practise ploughing match ready for our first one tomorrow (eek), then I spent the afternoon helping the others that are doing the match clean and polish the college tractors that they are using.

My copy arrived on monday and i have already read most of it. Another great edition. I especially enjoyed the article on selling County tractors in Zimbabwe. I also paid close attention to the page about the Universal Hobbies new Massey releases.
I am currently making a display and am trying to decide what tractors to have on it. One of the buildings is the small britains one and I would like to know two things
1. Does the JCB 310 fit under the shed?
2. If the answer to the first question is no, can you tell me the height of the model from the ground to the top of the cab?
Any help will be appreciated.

I believe that there are around 85 being milked at the moment.
Nearly all ai now but we used to have an aberbeen angus stock bull to serve the heifers for the first time.
I finally got round to taking some pictures to put here. If you have any questions i will try to answer them but it may take some time for me to find out answers. Most of the pictures are of the young stock. I will get some of the milkers when I get a chance.
Went to a college induction day on thursday and me were shown round some of the crops, one of which was their maize. The man leading us round told us that it was about three weeks away from harvesting.
I think the field is about a mile long and that combined with a good amount of straw equaled quite a few days hauling.
I wish I had seen and heard the Quadtrac going but there was a lot of work for him away from the field we were in.
For the journey we were doing we had them roped/straped on, which is a bit of a pain with that way of stacking because there aren't enough hooks for the ropes/straps. If they were to be turned through 90 degrees you could use two straps front to back but the downside for that is that our loader wont reach high enough to unload them properly.
