The Tractor Twitcher

You're very welcome John, i'll have a look for it later on today.

You're very welcome John, thanks ever so much, anytime, pleased I could help. I do have a photo copy of an original sales brochure on these somewhere which I will endeavour to dig out and scan up to hear for you as well.

Last few I have of it. Hope they come in handy.

......and more yoked to their big Case IH Steiger 9370.

A few more.

More photos of the Power Frame at work in 2017.

That's great to hear John. Video clip of the old girl in action, good job my friends don't have any neighbours........it makes quite a noise! 😃........I'll post the rest of the photos I have of it shortly for your reference. P1430642.MP4

A Newbern Power Frame! Great to see you building one of these John, that looks ace. Wrote about this one for the 200th issue of Classic Tractor Magazine. It's still being used by a good friend of mine.

Couple of childhood favourites. Siku MB-Trac 800, and Massey Ferguson 284S.

The real tractor that at the time belonged to a chap called Richard Straughan. The last time I saw this tractor was at Fordson 500 in June 1996 where it had been painted up, just like the model Dennis built of it.

Dennis Goodburn Fordson E27N V8 4wd number 13 of 25 built. Supplied to Brian Holmes in December 1996. I have photos of this very tractor my Dad took at Murton near York in 1989.

Out with this big rig today.

Visited one on demonstration in North Lincolnshire yesterday afternoon. Whilst I'd want to spend a lot more time with one on a farm to give it a fair and unbiased appraisal it certainly appeared impressive, and Deere are definitely not stretching the truth in terms of output.........it also makes an S790i look small.

Mint unboxed ROS Massey Ferguson 3050.

Thanks John, been looking for both of these for a while now. The 8070 will be kept original. 🙂

A couple of recent additions. Giodi New Holland 8070 and a Norev Claas Dominator 108.

Magnificent line ups John!

Peacock and Binnington, and B&B Tractors a shifted quite a few IDEAL 8 and 9s around here for this harvest fitted with both the Gehringhoff and standard headers. Was told there's five 10Ts gone onto farms for this season, all not far from each other. Two with steering wheels and three with the joystick set up. I've a 9250 Axial Flow to photograph next week after this next lot of rain has passed, and the local Deere dealer Ripon Farm Services have sold an X9 to farm i've photographed on before in North Lincolnshire that was on display at the Great Yorkshire Show, fingers crossed i'll be able to see that at work this Summer too. Looks like Doubledays down your way have shifted quite a few X9s this year.

Been to see this locally based Fendt Ideal 10T, one of three sold onto farms in the UK with the joystick controls. This one replaced a pair of Claas Lexion 760TTs.

Great work as always John.

One of three Shelbourne Reynolds swathers I've been with today in East Yorkshire.

Nice to see James, rare as rocking horse poo in the UK.

Russells also have a depot on the same site as Metcalfes Washfold Farm at Leyburn. 🙂 The tractor is likely to be for sale later in the year, and I really hope Metcalfes purchase it given it was conceived up there and kept up there until the Great Yorkshire Show.

That's where the inspiration for the design came from as Russells sold quite a few 7810 Jubilees new, and a number of them still remain in active service on farms close to their depots. I'll post more about it a little later.

Absolutely Justin, here's Russells display from the Great Yorkshire Show when the special edition T6.180 was publicly unveiled. The 7810 on the stand was originally supplied by Russells, and remains with its original owner.
