Plenty more to follow mate, haven't had some of these photos out of their wallets in years thats some impressive old kit you have caught over the years, i had the first 3 from my nans photo albums the other day, all fergys and 1 jd, just got to get the scanned, but theres lots more to come Thanks Sean, as much as i'm enjoying the age of digital, you can't beat thumbing through piles of old photos or flicking through albums. Looking forward to seeing some of your pictures we have a bubble cab 7610 2wd ..a reg on a keenan 140 ..its a good tractor, starts no problem Sounds like a lovely tractor mate, my Uncle's had several bubble cabbed versions over the years before buying an AP cabbed 7610 4wd.

Thanks Tris, collosal's the right word, certainly for young tractor fan like myself, at the time I thought it was much more powerful than it actually was, cracking looking tractor (Uncle stage left, followed by my brother then myself in the centre) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Something slightly different. Every August Pickering grounds to a stand still when the Traction Engine Rally comes to town. Some of the locals loathe it, I on the other hand love it Work permitting I always try and head down on the Saturday evening to take in the festivities with some like minded friends and wander down to the show ground later on. If time allows I try and get back down on the Sunday and take photos of all the static tractors and machinery. Here's a selection of photos from the Saturday night last summer from in town then the tractor pulling contest that takes place all night, before heading to real ale tent for a beer or two. David Brown 990 heading down "Smiddy Hill." Field Marshall (Not sure which series) The tractor pulling arena. MF 590 with a Perkins V8 from an MF combine harvester. Modified special. Leyland 285 Leyland 285 on the sledge. New Holland T7000 series towing back the sledge. Very tidy Massey Ferguson 1250 busy topping up the steamers.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 good tractors those 3080s used to put front and back mowers on them ( 17 foot mowed) with one pass Sounds like a very impressive set up mate, the farm near York where I've spent a lot of my spare time and days off still run a very smart 3085 and also used to run a 3095, driven them both and enjoyed every minute of them. The 3095 was later traded in for a 6290. ( Photos soon ) used to have international 956xl on a b plate .. it would go anywere .hell of a good tractor, never ran or got stuck Fantastic sounding and looking, photographed a few at various ploughing matches over the years, always been impressed. indeed the green cabs a lambourne one mate,really must get my first pics scanned to be honest, i cant really remember that one to be honest only the later mk2 one we had, as for the duncan one, its a werid looking one with only 1 door, only seen the normal 2 door ones Wish I'd taken a photo of the other one now, didn't miss many during the day, it's about time you got your scanner cranked over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
