Yeah they are Ricky. we reckon it was where the previous owner had a big tractor on it cause we had it on the 6510 and it was fine just wont be able to go on the maxxum because of its big backside  ;)

Oh and yeah its 1987 model just to clear that up  ;):)

Well a change of scenery for me in the next 2 weeks. Am on work experience with anothe rlocal farm and thought I'd better get a few pics for you lot. Unfortunatley they are in the snow but here goes :laugh:

Firstly their old 6610 they use for running about jobs

secondly the poor looking cab of the other old ford being a 7610. Wouldnt want to drive it in this weather

Thirdly 1 of 2 JD 6630's complete with new tyres. The other one of the 2 just 5 hours short of 4000!! Bearing in mind they are only 3 years old!

Lastly the old JD 8400t looking sorry for itself doing what most crawlers do through the winter, that being sitting around doing nothing  :laugh:  ::)

Well just a couple of pics to add. We were muck carting from the Pig farm last week so here is what I was driving. Just to correct they have over 3000 pigs instead of what i thought was 1000. Also the farmer said I may be able to go back and help him with his hay in the time between me finishing my GCSE's and harvest starting at home  ;D Anyway I had the pleasure of driving a JD 6630 and mcormick MC115

nice tractors you got to drive there will i can't wait for my work experience in april i'm off to a dairy farm

Thanks masseyjack, had a really good time and I dare say you will too, its 100's times better than school  ;D

the 6630 looks to have very small fronts sure it wasn't a 6530?

Nope definatley a 6630 Ricky, both of their 6630's have short dumpy wheels, no idea why, guess it was just the tyre option they chose

Well long time no posts, so I thought I would let you know whats happened round here lately. Firstly dads bought me a new tractor, a case MX120, pictures will be up when it comes. We have applied our first dose of nitrogen and P and K. The new sprayer has been run in and goes well. Also I will be taking my tractor test in the easter holidays so fingers crossed that goes well too!
