robbo Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Council contractors at the front of my house today, they call it woodland management but it is bordering on criminal damage to me Before and then after, not a great deal of "woodland" actually left \ \ \ \ \ This is the main weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 OK, today was time for another dealer visit, this time it was to the Same Deutz dealer in Leigh although he is also a main agent for Grimme harvesters. Unfortunately the new kit was stored elsewhere in another unit as the local youths apparently have a habit of scaling the fence and trying to take them for a ride \ \ First up a couple of old Claas combines, Senator 70 and a Dominator Grimme harvester HeVa rolls and a lightweight tined cultivator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 This looked like a Massey Ferguson cultivator but I couldn't see any decals Claas Markant small baler Now onto the Tractors Same Silver 130 Ford 5610 An old Same Leopard 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 The a couple of Fordson Dexta's, the first one was really battered and has had a hard life \ \ The second one was much more of a rarity and would make a good restoration project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Old Deutz that has really suffered with tin worm Then just to keep the other red boys happy ;) Case CX90 on Irish plates Now I can only guess what model this is as there were no decals on it anywhere, my guess is a 955 but I stand to be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05rich Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 great pictures as for the dextas look at the stearing arm on the first one and the second one is a very nice find, wait till john (jsedelweisss) sees it. he is big on 4wd dextas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Isn't that a Land Rover axle on the Dexta - not as desirable then. Looks like a 955 to me but could be a 1055 too. Poor old 6.10 :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
