nice set up you have there masseyman

thanks lad

and now the big deere,a 7810 responsible for sowing all the cereals on farm plus some contract work with a 3 meter amazon/accord one pass drill

the claas dominator 108 combine still going strong

a recent demo tractor,claas arion 640

fleet line up

a case mxu125 spends a lot of the summer sowing fertilliser,with so much outlying ground many a load of fertilliser is brought to the lelly centerliner 2 ton spinner and loaded with the farms 6270

the farms tm140 new holland ford now showing 6700 hours on the clock geting a fill of diesel before heading away to mow grass in front of the self propelled with the johndeere 1360 mower conditioner

this tractor works at anything in the yard

another mf,a 6480 tier 2 dyanshift bought new in 08 and now showing 4500 hours,this tractor will likely be changed this year for the newer tier 3 dyna6 model,ploughing with a four furrow revirsible kevernland plough

also an all rounder in the yard,seen here pulling the farms 2500 herron slurry tanker

the first of 3 loaders on the farm the jcb 414 is kept busy on a wide range of tasks,in winter its mostly used with a redrock alligator sheargrab to fill the keenan

returning from loading dung into a hired bunning rear discharge spreader powered by the farms 7810 johndeere

the jcb 526 is another machine that performs many tasks in the yard

and a mf 6270 with mf loader kept as an all rounder bought new in 02 and now showing 4500 hours on the clock

as titled whats your model farm fleet,ballymorran farms rely on a fleet of mainly modern classics to carry out a range of work on a busy mixed farm,contractors look after silage harvesting and baling work but the rest we do ourselves,first up is the farms case 1056xl,spends most of its time cutting hedges with a mcconell hedge trimmer

when off the hedge cutter it can be found often rolling cereals with a set of cambridge rolls

a 2wd ford 7740 spends the winter either on the farms keenan diet feeder or mixing and pumping slurry with a redrock slurry pump

a slopey nosed dx deutz carries out all the farms spraying with a hardi mounted sprayer and harvests around 50 acres of potatoes a year with a superfaun harvester,the row crop wheels are never off this tractor

majority of farms up this side of strangford lough running masseys and landinis,the odd johndeere about too,contractor wise nearly all new holland men with claas self propelleds and new holland combines,two johndeere men with the odd fendt about too

thank you thomas and mandy

thanks for the comments lads

at the grass with the classics

fine pictures roy ivan megaw is running  a nice fleet the year and good to see john dans big m

couple of frs down our way think a 9080 is the largest,havent impressed many people

It would be interesting to see them contractors books and see if all the kit is paid for and etc

theres one fleet in there thats i know of thats all paid for and theres another that has a golf club and resturant behind it to fund it so no money issues there 

more great pictures mate,shame about the jag on silver wheels,not my cup of tea,get them sprayed back to red

thanks man,no i dont like them myself but they seem to,there xerion that they mow with has the same colour scheme!

cheers man noel took the pictures i was merely navigator for the day,yes second in the country takes something to kill these 970s  ,hes 1 renault 3 claas 5 johndeeres and they had a 4 pot arion out on demo recently so who knows what will be leaving the yard next 

a few more
