SPN

From Sept 1st SPN will be the proud tenant/caretaker of a 14 acre smallholding in deepest Wexico. 1 cow, 1 calf, 1 pig, 2 piglets, a donkey, innumerable hens, 2 dogs and a cat. There is also a tractor! But we won't talk about that

Tell us more Mark. Are those spark plug leads I see?

Get that up on Farm Photo as soon as you can.

New Holland 8160 in terracotta.

Test drove the new Nissan Leaf electric car. Can't really fault it, but I'll be sticking with my veggie powered BMW for a while yet.

She who must be obeyed has never been to "the ploughing", but I think this is the year to change that. http://www.npa.ie/

Me so happy! * *

7840s were in field on Wexford side of Horse and Hound, opposite side of road to Colfers. The Big John Q came up the side road behind the church at Cushinstown and headed into Ross.

Loads! 7840 and Lime spreader, with Moffett 7840 loading, down Nashmach way. Big Green thing with 30ft triple axle Toomey full to the greedy boards, down Nashmach way. Big Green thing and Case CVX with two McHale Fusions in Kilmac. and TSA/T6000s all over the place.

Pretty much everything you can think of, from a Massey 35x to a 936 Black Beauty - including a Ferguson TE20 4wd, a Massey 135 4wd, New Holland T6090, and 14 Does. Unfortunately my camera died when I went to take a pic of the Does.

Picked up my UH Ford 7810 today, picked up my FTF MF 390H, and bought an unboxed Schuco Fendt 211 Vario for silly money. All in all a good day.

A consignment of 7810s arrived into Ireland tonight on the Ferry. The consignment was intercepted south of Wexford on the N25 and a number of 7810s were appropriated for hardcore weirdos in the South East. Basically he wasn't getting through the roadblock until he handed some over! Mine is safely stashed in the ruins of an old Medieval Abbey on the banks of Bannow Bay til the heat dies down. But I got one, and that's all that matters!

Universal Hobbies Ford 7810. Not got it in my hands yet, but it is nearby.

There's a 100-90 2wd round these parts and it has a fairly long wheelbase. I'll see if I can get a pic.

Marcus, what size tyres are on the back of the 168?

I love the anaerobic digester! I have a model of a Caterpillar Gen Set tucked away for the day I get around to making a biogas diorama. Super!

Getting a load of pre-cut rebar off a building site, which I'm going to use to stake a load of scaffolding planks that I got off another building site, in order to frame my raised beds up the allotment. Proper Job!

Thanks guys. Knew you wouldn't let me down. http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2008/02/01/2152205.htm

Does anyone know what these machines are?

County 7600-Four bubble cab near Clonroche.

Was down Nashmach Country today and came across a Horsch Terrano on a Fendt 818, Bedformer on an 820, destoner on a T6000, potato sower on another 820, and a Farm Master with a box tipper. A little later on I came across a Terracotta TS115 heading for Clonroche
