robbo Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Been going round tractor dealers this morning to try and get them to offer Model Farmer magazine to their customers and whilst I was there I couldn't pass up the chance with the old camera now could I? : First off the SDF dealer in Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 They had more than just SDF models in though This is a very nice Ferguson trailer, I assume it is restored though Then a JD 2140 identical to the one I drove many moons ago, 2 wheel drive, square cab with a green roof, so many of these are depicted with the yellow roof but all the ones I remember had the green Then a spot of blue as well I have been to this yard before and a number of the second hand tractors were still there including the 4WD Dexta and an IH 955 but I couldn't get at them this time ???

robbo Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Then it was off to another different coloured dealer and although there were a number of tractors in the yard only one really caught my eye Beautifully restored MF 175 multi power although somehow I don't think the seat is factory original ;D ;D , a bit comfier I would have thought though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Phwoar... look at that 175... what a peach * * Must have restored it based on a UH model, with that seat.... Thought you'd be off with your chequebook for that trailer......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Some nice tractors there. I like the modified lights on the 2140, the previous owner obviously deemed the Deere parts o be too dear! I would think there were more green roofed 40 series OPU's produced than yellow simply due to the time in production. I'm not including the lower roofed LP cabs in that analysis.

Deere-est Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Mike when you're there again can you inform them that you need to take a Deutz, around 160hp with front linkage away for Forensics? I'll pop up and get it off you then Nice photos of the grass, a nice crop he has got himself there. Since the departure of all the 1360's I havn't seen a JD mower around these parts, all Kuhn and Claas now. Nice to see some photos of a newer mower from Deere.

griffithsbros Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 might get to see them fendts tomorrow, if they take them to the nantwich show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 No pick up hitch or even a drawbar on the Fendt? Nice find that, Mike :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 No pick up hitch or even a drawbar on the Fendt? Nice find that, Mike :) Every Fendt in the UK well certainly big 900's and 800's are imported like this then fitted by dealers as are normally fitted with bill bennet pick-up hitches which are of course UK origin.

Pingu Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Only ever trying to be help and rather busy these days well apart from being rained off today perhaps should post some pictures of harvest so far when get chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Another trip to the AGCO dealer the other day, really didn't expect to see a Challenger in Cheshire, I didn't think there were enough large arable farms to warrant such a beast, it is mainly a dairy county. Then the standard reds And the old lady in the corner, this part of the yard seems to be the naughty step, there is usually an older tractor parked here. It did strike me how narrow the front tyres were, I don't know if that was standard fitment or they were narrow for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 kinseys in duddon farm 3,500 acres arable.. grow about 1000 acres of spuds rest in barley wheat .. i think .. sure mon51 knows more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Nice pictures Mike... I'd say the 365's tyres are most certainly not standard fitment.. perhaps they were taken as an option when the tractor was new for some kind of rwocrop application.

harryh141 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't know the name of the owners \ \ , you could always ask Harryh141 as I believe his step dad works for them no its love brothers's set up that the deutz is running on, we get it onn hire after harvest however it'll be a new holland this year as the dealers have changed hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Had a trip out today with the camera so I might as well post them up ;) :D I will start with quite a rare beast although not exactly in pristine condition, taken in part ex and already sold There were a few other golden oldies, this one is a candidate for "Yard scraper of the Month" as seen in a tractor mag ;) An old red one hiding in the corner out of the way And then one solitary blue one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
