You dont see it done this way much today ,a field not too far from me ,i think Goody might be able to say where it is 

That's either Badingham or Earl Soham Smithy they make a lovely sight real farming scene.

Like JMD has said next one is planned for April 2022 at springfields , Colin cant have one in October on the farm as the 2 main sheds will be full of grain 

He hope they will be Smithy, but yes your right Colin's sheds should be full and the Springfield site maybe used for top up Vaccines, bring on April.

Having used one of his many farms for the July show, we like others who have already said we must congratulate him for bringing stall holders sellers & buyers together to keep the Hobby going at a personal cost to him.

Goodiestractor look forward to seeing all in April bring it on, stay safe and well

Please come and see us if you do go, Colin has said there is no space for dealers left, so it should be well attended from the dealers side

It will be nice if you can make it to just catch up and shake the cob-webs off. Covid safe of course, it will be nice to be moth ball free, as Zwolle emailed me yesterday saying It's a no go to there superb show this year.

If you can make it please come, we look forward as others will, to seeing you.

not totally unexpected i have  to say jan, will be a shame , but it wont be the only show lost this year, may also give them time to sort a new location as well with any luck. and us time to find a nice hotel ,and all you can eat Chinese close by ,the hotel lumen and football stadium have become a nice break for the last  4 shows or so .

I agree it will be such a shame superb show with good banter and the Lumen too.

Hi Jan welcome to the Forum have or do you attend the LCN show at Zwolle as several Collectors on here do make the trip as and when the show is on

I hear no announcement about this years show has been made but something is going to be said in June apparently is it possible you could find this out and confirm something to us.

Thank you for sharing some of your collection they all look very nice and well cared for

Why not a page dedicated to Tractor & Machinery brochures as we, avid brochure model collectors always get left out, and a lot of model makers like to refer to  brochures so it would make sense.

My harvest team for this year 

No wonder I can never get you Smithy when your driving around with four good looking females in your cab, your good lady Julie has a nice smile on her face you must have promised her she was up for something that night if you got home early. I'm always telling you your a lucky man.

We have finally  got the new roof sheets on site so the roofers made a start on Saturday and was back on site today ,one more bay to complete with sheets then seals up the sides to make it bird proof .

Very nice Smithy at least it will be water proof when Julie find all your models and put you out there with them.

Packing up the car and then driving down to Harwich to get the ferry over to Holland, picking up Sean and David on the way, woohoo Zwolle here we come. I believe that Barry and the Udimore lot are on the same ferry so I am sure we can cause some mayhem.

Tomorrow, we have arranged a little sightseeing jaunt to a large agricultural contractor and we may also get to see one of the rarest Same tractors in the world, a Buffalo V6, one of only 3 known examples left.

Have a safe trip Robbo let's hope it's a good show Goody.

Because we had 13mm of rain overnight to stop me turning hay ,I went to the Fram-Farmers/Walnes Seeds invitation only open day , after walking all the trial plots of wheat there was a good selection of machines to look at back in the farm yard and as much food and drink as you could eat    

Just because there was a lot of food Smithy, it didn't say anywhere you had to eat most of it but it was nice to spend time with you. Did the Sponge lay heavy last night, see you soon off to Norfolk Show Goody.

• Picked these 3 up today . To win absolutely nothing do any members on here now why the manure spreaders are called DELILAH? .
• will post the answer bit later on

Hi Smithy was it because Tom Jones owned one or was it because there was,and still is a Samson marketed by Samson.

Any way Mr Goodwin what are you doing being up this early as you now we have a meeting to attend this evening ,you will be falling asleep next to Podge haha

It's the only time I feel I'm not being robbed by farmers if I am up before them.

A close up of mouldboard and skimmer  

Not bad ploughing for an old boy Smithy with no guidance it must have been the result of me watching over you in the cab well done 9 out of 10

rolling the rape land the variety is CAMPUS it say on bag it weighs 21.6KG and there is 4 million seeds per bag I used 3 bags , it desperately needs a bit more rain at moment otherwise I might have to replant with something else . 

Smithy did Julie make you count the seeds to check there was 4 million in the bag for not finishing any jobs she had asked you to do.

I think the latest T7s are the best looking blue tractors since the white mudguard Q cab TWs and 10 series of the late 80s,   I liked them at first sight but now they are a familiar part of the local farming community I think they are the best lookers.   CASE PumaS are looking a bit dated now due to the bonnets but I understand new Pumas are due for launch this autumn.

New CRs look superb with the extra yellow panels

Good morning Bluegreen, I will have to come to you for the price on the new Puma Tractors, as I only sell them and have heard nothing about we are getting new one's this autumn, but maybe that's why I'm selling a load of them, Farmers must know something I don't but then then that is nothing new, I hope you are well.

photo test

Hi Robbo, lovely picture, have you got a spare brochure on this tractor, I have cash waiting I just cannot find one. I plan to send you a picture of an illuminated Same Tractors Dealer sign that I have been promised,

Maybe you could value it and possibly buy it from me. Regards Goody

its the operator  but having a nice even row and a steady pace with the baler all helps ,but the main thing is Sunshine , Sunshine in every bale (that's what Kellogg's say about its cornflakes) with you on the NH balers we have had a few over the years and cant remember having any major problems and yes Julie did stack them  

John, it comes down to the person who sold Smithy a good reliable baler. Well that's what I think...I hope you are well.

Saturday morning problem solved , she phoned up a good mate and asked was he interest in a few (haha) brochures to which he said possibly so she said get your arse over here now and have a look ,and within the hr he turned up and had a look and this is the two of them doing a deal , not asked her yet how much she got but as long as I don't tell her what I paid there should not be a problem . to get me out of the way she sent me of to cut up some wood , not said anything to much about them tonight but I better keep quiet as there is still at least another load to come  

Smithy, the chap in the trailer looks dodgy! Did the Mrs get a good deal? I'm told he is very fair and pays well for good brochures & manuals and has a lovely collection of both...

Now then how many ££££££££££££££ do I need for a grain bucket ? then I shall have a idea as to how many £££££££££££££££££ I need as and when I have sorted though them  as for front of the queue I hope you are talking about getting me some lunch on Tuesday haha

Now then Smithy times are hard and with all the show season ahead of us £££££££££££££ will be in short supply however I'm sure we will find some for your manuals and remember It's mates rates at all times as for lunch at the show it depends on how many mates you bring with you.

Bed-time reading material I wish I had time for that at the moment   last few days I have fell asleep sitting at the table  hopefully  another couple of weekends and I might be nearly finished on some of the jobs  but I am having Tuesday of as plan on going to Ernest Does Show and stirrer up a certain senior sales executive that we all now haha .

Thanks Paul      

Good morning Smithy, I hope to see you at the Doe Show I'm going if there is not to much snow, but then they are very good at handling that stuff. I'ts to much rain that's not liked there, looks like some nice manuals amongst that haul I can see £££££££££££££££££££££ coins coming your way, I hope I'm near the front of the queue when you sell them off or if you need to hide some from the Boss, Julie.
