Another day of fencing

That looks a tidy example of at jd. Nothing better than seeing them colours. 

Looks great. It'll look even better with everything else added just with the little massy it adds character. Great work I do like watching your progress. 

Wow some lovely looking models you have there 

Top work mate, them slabs set that yard off nicely. 

Yeah we had Jefferson's tracktors at scalby that was a main dealer. So we used to see quite a few round hear. We had a 110 that we hired off of them when our ford cab set alight. Wasnt z bad tractor just looked the same shape as this one but a little taller and longer bonnet. Think the little 80 will be with us to the end as it's not woth selling on or trading it in. Think the 8210 will be next to go. The only other one I know of that's in good condition is H&H at Carlisle they have a same that they use with a silage trailer to hall the muck away to a field near by.

Little same 80 explorer that gets used on straw chopper and leading round bales in with back spike at silage. IRS onva new to us kuhn chopper but dont ask what model it is my brother only picked it up the other day. 

I always thought this was a 90 but I'm wrong it's the 80. 

Looks brilliant 

Your talking your self into the challenge.. 

Think you'll do a grand job going by your workmanship so far.

i hope so, although i must be mad, prob means i will have to build the granary now 

Never ending I've found when building my layout your always thinking and have loads of ideas in your head to build and try out. 

Top job will look so realistic when painted up. 

And hand killers the second dat of stacking grabbing the strings. Trying to grab some *** along with the string to ease the pain or blisters. 

The days of small bales. My grandfather having cattle lorry we used to remove the containers off the big lorry and drag trailers, then just drive round fields stacking. Was always the farm labourer and my brother on the stack keeping it right. Me and my grandfather chucking them up. We would stack that high it had to be 3 different levels to keep passing them up. Then we would sheet them. Next few days were spent in yard chucking them onto the elevator think it was a listers engine one with wooden slats and the odd one missing. You dont see many small bales nowadays but then we don't get the summers we used to. We used to fill this stone barn to the rafters. 

True it is cheap real and probably looks the nicest when finished.  

Seen this last night, as I've been searching for a John deere that's a nice looking model. Think there's a similar one around the same price. 

Looks smart. 

Fantastic work there mate. Be nice to see that flat 8 system. My grandfather would not buy one so we had to do it the old hard way. We had a old sledge and one of us would stand on the side at the rear. And try stack them then let them out near each other.

keep you busy lee building them

Going to have a go at the blue bale trailer. The red cow feeder a d mabie the creep feeder. I'd like to see if I could do out with a old britains lorry. Also do the loader attachments.

Had a walk round the farm to take pics so I can copy the machines for my diorama.

Going round the meadows to remove the wind blown branches before the grass starts to grow. 

Shouldn't be doing jobs for my brother as my son is classed as high risk with this virus. But if I stay indoors anymore I think I'll crack up. 

What do you think of the fendt? I'd love to have a drive in one and work in one for a day. Though I still do like the older tractors 100 series jd old school stuff now. But the technology in them things are mad you can get left behind a bit and it's harder to work with. Cool shots cant wait till were cutting and turning grass but were a long way off yet.. 

Can I ask what you use for guttering of is it just bought in? 

Looks fantastic mate.

There be one or two on here that will remember my dad, so in memory of the 9th anniversary of his passing i took the 804 up to his final resting spot for a bit of a natter and catch up with him in the sunshine, no doubt he wouldnt have been impressed by me swapping the Major for the Marshall but the sunshine shining and a great view to catch up with him  

Very nice to get out on that beast. Love a Marshall tractor. Had one one greenside years ago. We bought it of a dairy farmer over at eagles field Scottish boarders. He had a second home stord in his garage that he said was the very last one that came off the production line. Think it was old b red or d reg something like that. Used to love the sound and whistle of them..
