BC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 ooppps, yes I am referring to the 285, think I may have partly answered my own question Yes was made up but don't know by who after there was a tractor blow up on the original. Was from the Aberdeenshire area according to Graham firstly on a farm near Turriff and then he bought it from the St Fergus oil terminal ( Peterhead ) area.

BC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Great pics Bill. I'm not a big Leyland fan, but the 285 looks good, was that a 6 cyl. Seeing the exhaust up behind the cab reminds me of working on a potato harvester pulled by a Leyland when I was a boy Yes it was a "six pot" Mark and sounded good.... Graham was certainly putting it through it paces and enjoying himself ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 yep, the 285 & 2100 are 6 cylinders with exhausts up the nearside rear cab pillar. I'm looking forward to seeing Charnley's recently-completed restored Bray 470 at the Newark show (well, I think it's gonna be there?) Thanks for the pics Bill. I took a load at The National Ploughing Match yesterday at Marden ,Kent. I'll send a few for Markie to post up. Looking forward to the pictures Nigel.

BC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yesterday I managed to confuse myself with photos since photobucket was playing up with me and I had to load then in various batches. Anyway here are some more I took and had not posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 That must be very light land - 4f on a 70hp tractor Nice selection there Bill It's a funny soil down there but fertile I'm told. Only 60 miles from me but totally different from the darker black stuff we have in Aberdeenshire. More sandy with a slight clay content and the stones are not round but flat sandstone ones Colm.

Leyland well I have used one too can't remember which model other than L reg and was back filling an electricity trench with a Cameron Gardner rear loader that used to be used on my Nuffield DM4 Nice to see the Bray too since not too many around.
