robbo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Just got back from this years NW Tractor Show which is held at Myerscough Agricultural College just off the A6 between Preston and Lancaster, it is also on tomorrow (Sunday) if you feel the need to visit. I had the trusty camera with me and I took 156 photos :o :o Obviously I'm not going to post them all but hopefully this will give you a taster. If I work out how to do it I will post a link to the Photobucket album with them all in just in case you need any more. For starters there was an auction today, there were over 600 lots and whilst some were piles of rust there were some interesting lots Nice old Fergie, made £800 I think David Brown, not sure what model, may be a 770 MF65, reached £2600 but vendor refused to sell at that price DB VAK1 sold for £2400 IH B250 made £800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 View from the seat of a DB VAK1, if I ever get a tractor Mrs R wants one of these, firstly she liked the colour and secondly it had two seats SFV, the exhaust dominates the entire tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Finally a picture poser, what is this implement for? It was made by Ferguson for a specialised application and I have never seen one before, Marky have you got a brochure? Hopefully this is a link to the full album if you want to see the rest http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/robbo2011/NW%20Tractor%20show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 great pictures looked like a great show i think that implement might be for cutting silage i read about one in an old leaflet my uncle had got when he went to ag college its just a buckrake with a finger bar cutter and yoou just reverse along a strip of grass and its gathered on the buckrake and dumped in the clamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Might as well put up a few more ;D ;D Ian "Agrium" Tractor sketch was there as well, tried to get Mrs R to buy me one but she said I will have to wait for Santa \ \ \ \ This Fergie had a load of rosettes but I didn't think the colour looked right, it had a brownish tinge to it \ \ \ Mind you there were a few different shaded of Ferguson there This one had a heavy cast iron front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Lovely photographs Mike, some very nice restorations there, the Roadless machines and Trevor Chippendale's MF 595 look the business, and that IH 955 looks immaculate too. Some amazing work on the dioramas especially "Starbrush's" potato harvesting scene really like the look of that aswell as the quarrying scene, that's got my Dad staring over my shoulder, impressive stuff.

Agrium Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 got a few of the best ones later in the day when the crowd had thinned out a bit. Some of these would not have come off the Factory in as good a condition as these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
