The Tractor Twitcher

Whilst out photographing the New Holland CR8080 at work today I also stumbled across this interesting outfit making half size small bales for creating Horsehage by a farming estate and specialist equine feed company. 

Began my 2021 harvest travels today with this 2012 New Holland CR8080 harvesting winter barley for crimping and clamping. 

Farm sale I attended near Barnsley on Saturday which included this John Deere 2850 and a pair of older Case IH Maxxums in the shape of these 5120 and 5140 Pros. 

All good. Seems to be working fine.

Had a great time over the weekend seeing these classic Fords lifting first cut silage.

Just wondering if anyone else is having problems, I’m unable to upload any photos as it just keeps coming up unknown server error, but also when I look at other posts a number of photos are missing from them as well?

Just tried to upload some photos from both phone and pc, all different file sizes, and get the same message.

Hopefully Andy will be able to pin down the problem and resolve it. 🙂

Awesome tractors. Rye-Tec borrowed this one especially to run on the front of the Ma/ag drill they import at the Tillage Live demontration back in 2017

was it registered late then?  seems a very late reg for an 8000, though they did overlap the TX series for a bit I think?  E was the earliest TX I saw.

Correct mate, and you're right there was an overlap for a short time. This was one of the last to be sold by Platts Harris I believe. Seen a few others on G plates, but none on any later plates.

As always great pics. You should do a book / periodical. 

Thanks ever so much Jim. I'm hopeful there might be a book in the pipeline in the not too distant future.
