wyke farms kit

[MJB1]

got a few pics of Wyke farms kit while tipping at their dairy. Wyke farms is no more than 2 miles away from Barbers farms ( the farm with all the NH kit) & opperate the same princeaple? ie: a complete fleet to serve all it's own farms from one base .

The prime movers are all JD but each dairy has 2 ford/NH one loader & i scraper tractor.

[MJB1]

Sorry NH2 but it's not a 3600 this is the spare yard tractor for when the others come in for repairs or servicing the others are 5030's 2 & 4wd

[MJB1]

there was a 6900 out with the umbilical cord spreading slurry from their pig units but was too far away for a pic.

Fantastic pics mjb1. Another bonny wee Ford too. 

Are the 5030's the New Holland models or are they the earlier Ford models? 

[MJB1]

i know there are a few more JD 10 & 20 series tractors about of theirs but did'nt get to see them. last pics ,my drive of the day tipping at wyke & one of their older ERF's, they also have a few ERF ?EC knocking around the country side either hauling cheese or pigs or liquid feeds.

i think most are the ford models but i have seen a 2wd NH

this was the tractor i thought might be a 36 lurking in the yard

Yeah this is like the ordinary round ones but this one probably a twin auger version hence the extra length

[Tractorman810]

ah didn't know they even made them that big,another new fact in my brain cell,

[james f]

They make them with three augers for the feedlots in america :o

[MJB1]

:D :D

there's a farm near to work we collect milk from & they've got a 15 ton mixer wagon on the back of a ford 7810 ! but not all is what it seems as this 78 has had an engine transplant from a ford cargo truck & is now rated at 210 hp & doesnt look much different from any other 78,but when you do look at it you get that niggling feeling that somethings not quite right? :)

last i heard they were going to swap it in but i don't know if they have yet, but someone somewhere's gonna get a hellish tractor? ;D

[NewHolland2]

[MJB1]

[NewHolland2]

Nice pics MJB nice to see parts of agriculture i now see very rarely round here 20 years ago there was 15 dairy farms in this area now down to none very sad fact i think. but a 15 ton feeder wagon would require a fair old size of machine to pull it
