Nice pictures James, how's harvest progressing with you? We've been stood down for the weekend as it pi$$ed it down friday afternoon, night, saturday all day, saturday night and on and off today! How do you find the quality of the straw behind the STS as our neighbour has one and the straw looked like it had been pre chopped in the swath?

First tractor, my late fathers old Nuffield 4/60 cultivating. NIce tractor and way ahead of the competition when it was built

I'd have to say Fiat here after having the pleasure of driving a 110-90 for a couple of years, really simple mechanics, few electronics to go wrong on them and bomb proof Iveco engine. If you want to put a loader on it get one with PAVT rear wheels, it will sacrifice road speed down to about 34kph though compared to 40kph on the pressed steel variant. Would probably be able to get a newer Fiat for the same money as older MF, NH or JD. Spares seem to be fairly cheap as well on them, even a 110-90 is a compact tractor for its size, we had it drawing 14 tons of grain up hills no problem, lots of grunt and torque in that engine

Purely a guess but from the colour maybe Browns

:o Make a note Phill, this doesn't happen often but me and you actually agree on something! Too many of the 6020 and 7020 series have had backend and fuel system problems to be called reliable

or to become part of his next bale stack :D :D what sort of a muppet can't stack bales properly though :D

Jeeez they make our Kongskilde set look like a toy! No denying when Simba build something it's built to last

big problem being as he hasn't been here for so long, if and when he returns we'd better get that interpreter standing by for the resulting posts :D

in my case it was too high up for natures fire extinguisher to reach :D

yeah i should think so, but none of the local dealers have been out threre lately either so who knows

Worked on the last one where we had 12 small field fires we put out with the bowser, found they were caused by burning chaff under side guard on the combine, my 2 litres of drink put that out nicely :D :D

brings a tear to the eye thinking about it

Vervaet is J. Riley near norwich Holmer is Standen Reflex Matrot was Matrot UK near Bury st Edmounds don't know if it still is, don't know about Moreau

nothing like natures fire extinguisher in an emergency, and usually my bottle of cold drink

Been no big fires in north norfolk or accidents reported so its all quiet, un-nerving really :D

hell, thats nice! Bet it'll take some pulling if the grounds a bit soft on super singles though, what goes up front?

Our Lexion 460 tried that 10 days ago, chaff accumulated under guards over the course of the day got too hot from exhaust heat and started to burn. Any ideas what caused your Laverda to try it?

We're about to start drilling stubble turnips for over winter sheep feed, give it a few more days and its the right sort of time to be drilling oilseed rape for an early crop next year Nice pictures as per usual Martin

Yeah definately a Western sticker, you can tell by the profile of the sides as well when you know what to look for

I only know of one locally here of the top of my head, most have all been replaced by Verveats now it seems. If you remind us all in another 7 weeks or so the machines should have started rolling again for picture taking

thats the kiddie, not seen one tipped up to full height with me driving the combine 100% of the time so don't know how many stages it has \

Where is he anyway, been all quiet on that front lately, or has he morphed into another guise again :D :D

Couldn't tell you as i was only on it for a couple of hours. We also have an 04 plate 526 there and out of the 2 both me and my mate would drive the 526 as the hydraulics are more responsive than the joystick controls on the 535, 526 still having the lever type fitted

One bloody great ram on them, tips to a nice height. You'll never convince me that any other make is built so well, nothing to do with me being mates with one of the Bunning's of course : :D

See, told u and doesn't even need to be cod, a bucket of any sort of fish will bring this greedy little penguin running :D
