The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Here's an old Massey Harris seed drill Dad found in a barn on the farm he and Mum stayed at in the Peak District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Nice find by your dad David. Good to see it is being kept inside too. would look good at a vintage working day. A few years back I was pulling a grass seeder at our one. You know the green thing with the boxes that fold out. There was a mixture of sawdust and small poly beads so it actually looked as it was sowing. Sand would have been better since it would have been heavier. I joked to the ploughers that next year they would not be ploughing where I had been since it would be full of young trees ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look great at a working day in tow with a suitable tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Was down at the Threlked Mining Museum yesterday and I spotted this unusual reversible plough, couldn't find a makers name anywhere on it though. Not really forgotten as such as its obviously in preservation. This Renault on the other hand appears to have just been abandoned after its last job, I wonder if it had a clutch failure.

Eurodeere Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 That reversible plough looks just like the Bonnel one about to be released by pro farm toys, do you know what make it is or will you be passing again to see if any makers plate is present. On another thread someone said Bonnel licenced the design to some British firms in the fifties/sixties. That Renault does look abandoned while moving bales, can't believe it's not worth repairing or at least breaking. The loader and bale grab are still useable.

I could go look at the plough again, its only a few miles down the road, however I had a good look around it and could not find any manufacturers plate or even a name cast in the parts anywhere. Here are a couple more pics if its any help: It looks as if it was designed to be pulled behind a crawler tractor, also it has a hydraulic ram which suggests to me mid-sixties or later. My gut feeling was that it was french, and the arrangement of the rear wheels certainly rings bells in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Is that 411R a second hand import or did Fiat sell some tractors new i the UK in the late fifties/early sixties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
