robbo Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was up in the Border country lest weekend and called in to see a true gentleman, JDC, who farms 400 acres of arable by himself (except at busy periods). All of his machinery is meticulously maintained and in immaculate condition. First up the "yard tractor" a clean Massey Ferguson 3065 2wd The next is a Renault Ares 616RZ which is on rowcrops and is the sprayer tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 He lives in a really beautiful part of the country and is on high ground so the views are glorious. My visit was a real flyer after a weekend of snow so I never had a chance to look around. Next time I get to Berwick I will make a point of making a REAL visit (even if it means getting there a day early ahead of my colleagues). Unfortunately we are holding our AGM in Dorset for the first this year instead of Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
