Had an hour up at the yard giving tractors a quick wipe over and then loaded the 465 up ready for tomorrow and Goosnargh and Longridge show... Hoping the forecast is wrong and the worst of the rain and thunder showers pass us but somehow think we'll get wet at some point tomorrow 

we did ok with weather in the end Paul wasn't as bad as the forecast and a good day out

Yes simple things but it's made a big difference something britains should have done

Your 7600 looks so much better with correct style exhaust and position Justin

Turbo blew up on 7610 a couple of weeks ago on cousins farm so matt removed it and got it rebuild and put it back on tractor today 

Looks a good show Paul i know Dave went last year and said it was well worth going

All in a good course. It was in the Name of Nigel Jennings that sadly lost his battle last year . Nigel was mine Agronomist for several years and also covered farms around my area . This was only arranged a few months back and do to weather a lot of people are busy hay-makeing but we still had 42 tractors on run . I did it on my fordson major 

Looks a nice day to be out on the major smithy

Slightly more exciting than what Dad got for 40 years of IH in Donnie😁

a nice piece all the same a bit o f history

We had similar over us a couple of weeks back smithy and also 5 or 6 more apaches following but didn't get them

Also from Newby Hall from the same seller and came out of the same collection a britains new holland on a wood plinth. Now the seller didn't know anything about this, but I bought it because it goes in my collection nicely and with my other couple of presentation models. Now I have seen one like this before I think on ebay, but didn't know anything about them, so after a chat with James b11jwd and a bit of investigation work by him he informed me that they were given out to the factory workers as a retirement gift as he knows a guy that has the same but with a TSA on instead of the 8560 so thanks James for the information. Does anyone else have one or a similar one?

A few things picked up at Newby Hall tractorfest last weekend 

Britains new holland ls170 skid steer loader

a cerberus mccormick cx 100 in gold for our Matt. Never seen one of these before and the seller said it was to celebrate 50 years of tractor production at Doncaster. It also came with a tankard, On the tankard though is a case cx 100 and a mccormick farmall and after a bit of googling I can't find much out, but 50 years was celebrated in 1999 and mccormick started manufacturing in 2000 so weather it was to celebrate end of one era and the start of another can anyone shed any light?

great turnout thanks for posting

Matt was also there with his tug of war team chipping young farmers. They also went on to win in the men's seniors not losing a single pull so also going to northern area as Lancashire A 

Last Saturday was the young farmers county rally. I had been asked a few weeks prior if I would coach the longridge young farmers tug of war team.longridge is the team I pulled for many years ago. It's a junior team under 18 so a mix of boys and girls So I done 4 training nights with them and they went on to win against 7 other teams not losing a single pull so going through to northern area as Lancashire A. very happy 

Matt was Tedding on cousins farm today 

Matt came home in charnleys pickup with a new old stock cab top he was delivering

Need someone like Stehos aka Sjack on here to give us some info 👍

Think they were done by a company called stormont engineering (or something like that) from kent for orchard work  who were ford dealers hence the name KFD (kent ford dealer). Don't know how many were done but like you say Paul probably a rare thing now
