BC Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well on the way home yesterday afternoon I spotted Nicol's of Skene sowing at Westside with their NH TM. I could not get too close to the field due to dykes and barbed wire fences so apologies for the shots being a bit distant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 looks like the ground is drier there, still to damp here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes there was a fine wind blowing Andy and it was drying up nicely. PS I hope you will not have to cancel Spalding and stay at home to get your barley in ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That looks quite wet to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 It wasn't that bad at all Colm and was skimming up quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Very nice photographs of really smart combination Bill, not a great deal of drilling left to be done around here, everyone seems to be gearing up for planting potatoes now.

BC Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Not a lot of tatties grown up my way David but I did catch some of those "Massey thingy's" playing about in the fields near cupar Angus on the way back from Perth on Saturday ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well look on the bright side Martin I suppose you are earning some cash ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Lovely bit of ground being worked. Nice photo's, close ups don't always mean better, I like distant shots. You can take more in from the photograph. Powerharrow/drill combinations are popular up your way then, Bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yes I suppose power harrow drill combinations are popular around Aberdeenshire Tris although we have all a variety of different set ups. I caught another couple of NH's yesterday afternoon near Garlogie by Westhill but it was rather sunny and difficult to see what I was shooting ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Interesting drill only but both fertiliser and seed compartments judging by the filling hopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well yesterday afternnon I spotted another sowing combination only a few miles from home at Balskavie Farm Drumoak. This time a "silver" tractor which is not too common in my area ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Good to see another tractor rather than a JD or MF there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes those silver ones are not very common around my neck of the woods Colm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
