The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 First up, my Uncle's current prime mover, a New Holland TM130 and KRM cultivator drill. Pictures were taken after spectating on the Trackrod Rally Yorkshire back in September last year just above where my Uncle farms, unfortunately my camera's battery ran out just after I took these two. It was bought around 3 years ago to replace a white roof Ford 8340. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Least they hit everything they aimed at with that poor old 2650 \ Just what I thought, poor little babba! 7810 is set on a wide track, what kind of crops do they grow there as I can see spud bulkers too. I like the look of that KRM drill, looks quite substantial for a suffolk coulter tooled drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 nice photos there Thank you JK, plenty more to come. Just what I thought, poor little babba! 7810 is set on a wide track, what kind of crops do they grow there as I can see spud bulkers too. I like the look of that KRM drill, looks quite substantial for a suffolk coulter tooled drill. Not the prettiest 2650 you're ever likely to see, still acts as a useful yard run-a-bout and trailer shunter. It's a big mixed farm geared largely towards potatoe production spread across more than one location, can't remember the numbers. We had our District Rally there last year fantastic venue for it. My Uncle's KRM drill is used almost exclusively for a minimum tillage based system, it's a very strong tool and is sometimes run with a front press. Some ploughing still takes place with a 5 furrow reversible Dowdeswell which is also earns it's keep contracting for some of the locals. Hopefully I'll get back up there this year and take some proper photo's of it working. Here's another view of the 7810 ...and a much tidier looking 2650 taken at a local ploughing match many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Fair load on that 2650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Fair load on that 2650 Certainly looks like quite an imposing implement for an 80hp tractor. Change of colour now, a pair of Internationals and Case MXM140 seen on my travels last year. Local cricket groundsman's 856XL An 885XL seen in a village near to the North York Moors. Smart looking MXM140 on duals with a Kuhn combination drill and Farm-Force front press for company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Like the 2 earlier IH's there - good to see them still hard at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 That 885 parked outside the house is a fantastic photo, has a lovely spring time feeling from the tone of the sunlight and is a very idyllic and evocative scene... brilliant. ... More of these please, they're all great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Like the 2 earlier IH's there - good to see them still hard at work Agree Colm nice to see them still being relied upon to put in a decent days work Thank for your kind words Simon I've just got to remember to look where i'm going from time to time Always carry my camera with me just in case I find something sitting in a village like the 885XL or lurking behind a hedge back. And seen as though we are on the subject of working Internationals how about a much bigger one! The following photos were taken by my Dad in either 1989 or 1990 and show an International 5288 ploughing with a semi mounted 7 furrow Kverneland reversible right behind where we still live today. It belonged to farmer from near Scarborough who used to travel the best part of a 40 mile round trip to work this 30 acre plot. It was later traded in for a Case IH 1455XL and 5 furrow reversible with press. That's me on the left and my younger brother James on the right.

I think the old Ford was just caught a bit off guard with the weather, unusually warm day for last summer, plenty more Fords on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a Sony pocket digital camera now one of the best christmas presents i've had bought, still learning how to get the best out of it though That plough was a monster compared to the 4 reversibles most of the locals were using at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
