The faithful labrador/spaniel/collie sitting on the cab floor. 

I was in the little hall and never did see this Udimore chap - there was always a very nice lady on the stall.  ;D

I bet that is strange to drive as your view changes depending where the cab is. 

Bet they still clout the bars though. 

Good big room, plenty work surface to get all cluttered up. No excuse for not doubling your output now. 

6920s died Sunday morning, was repaired yesterday morning, broke down again yesterday afternoon and was sorted again then same old problems again this morning so had to have them out again, its been in use this afternoon with someone else driving as I've had a JD 7830 out on loan all day today so will see what the 69 does in the morning

That's more than a Friday afternoon tractor - it's a Monday morning after a big, big, weekend tractor. 

No wonder your collection is growing when you 'bulk buy'. 

8210 is a cracker but can't help thinking there is something missing from nearside of engine - steering pump??

Thanks for posting them Dave, must say I like the 6610 best out of the two but wonder why DBP dont fit steps to it \

Hmmm  the 7610 does......

Best be nice to John Leathers I reckon John  :D

A red combine to hide Hattie from the neighbours. 

i supose you could always let tris drive your last years competition entry john  ;D

A bit big for him don't you think?  ;D

 

oi you get in line chappy    me & tris got that gig , well sort of  , every year we're ready to go at a moments notice  ;D  we are the hobbit team 

Going to be a fun harvest this year, Marky/hattie, Marcus/168, TT/35, Alex/Mavis and maybe even Graeme on the T6080 - 'gonna need a bigger combine'. 

I don't think we do John - they were looking €150 each just for the C tine

Ouch - seems high to me too.....

Spoke to a guy in the 'trade' today and he says seatbelts are only on some tractors because the seat itself is used elsewhere (e.g. industrial) and the seat belt is required. It's easier to leave it on then make two different seats.

Good pictures Ricky, and a tidy job. Looks like the soil is good fettle after the winter.

Spalding prices for a few tines for a proposed stubble cultivator  :of

Do you have a Kramp-Ashurst agent nearby, they're getting better? 

Got to grudgingly admit that red tractor thing is a very very nice tractor.  (Mind you it is half Renault and half Valtra.)

:laugh: :laugh: Bless'em!!

When I pointed out to TT that I had enough cash left for a DBP 7610, she said 'buy it, I quite like that one' -gobsmacked.

There is a farm near me where he bought a second hand 4m drill and took the wings off to get a 3m with the air system and a few spares to boot - so there would be a basis for doing that. 

Very nice buy. For what it's worth, I'd say keep the cab too. 

A couple of quick 'tabletop pics' Colm.

Etched brass walkers, and look at the engine detail. 

I had a good peek at the 1200 on the CC stand - beautiful model. 

Here's a few I took.......

Marky and Alex (goon) trying to suss out the intricacies of Mavis' hydraulics.

Goon going backwards!

No comment..........

Sean & TT agreeing where Marky went - Tris trying to look cool.

How do I start a massey?

Just got home....

Good to meet up with some new faces as well as the 'regulars' 

I went a bit daft, but most of the stuff was pre ordered.

Martyn Reeve MF 1080 and MF 165

DBP Ford 8210 and 7610

John Leathers Clayson M140

Several Scaledown kits

and a very nice DBP MF 375 from Ireland. (Good to meet Big Al!)

All ready to set off at 0300 tomorrow, been to the bank to get English £20 notes.

TT was having a 'to infinity and beyond' moment before I explained it would take 2 days.......

I think TT is having second thoughts about her reversing aptitude.....but will see you then. 

Nothing Fancy.

Some tidy old machines there. Look forward to seeing the binder going at harvest time. 

Very tidy machine, almost looks to big for it's booms. 

That wheat does look very well.
