MJB1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 well went again on the sunday & within half an hour , i was approached by the the combine & threshermen if i was available to haul a load again but i said i'd only do the 1 laod which was fine as it was only the combines they were worried about , any way rob & i took a few more pics of what was about , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPR Models Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nice but where is a the Volvo's Marcus : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 now this i did find interesting , seen pictures before but never seen one working. compared to a pitchfork this must have been a welcome addition to any farmworkers day during the proper hot summers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nice but where is a the Volvo's Marcus : sorry peter , severe lack of volvo's mate , matter of fact there were quite a few classics missing from the day, apart from my 168 there was only one other 8 series massey a 148, 1 590 no 240's lots of red DB's but little in the way of white ones i think ford , massey & DB were well represented otherwise .

NZ ? fair old trek that is didn't meet him as people were coming & going all the time , even if it was raining the atmosphere is still good, last few years i went it rained but haven't been the last two shows ,always a good turnout though . i think dillington might be holding it next year as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 lovely collection of pics Marcus, good to see the old machines working as well as just display! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 SNAP, well almost. These must have been taken within five or so minutes of your first two Where was the corn cutting and threshing? same field as the working horses? as I missed this completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 blimey much closer & we'd have walked into each other you got a pic of ivor on his own on the deere , i turned up just as he was letting his friend have go, your pic can only have been a few minutes before i took mine ! as you looked at the ploughing field from the showground , the horses were in the field to the right the combines & threshers were over to the left , past the main ring , then past the landrovers, past the steamsaws & loggers , then into the next field . if you got any more pics please post them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Might have to pencil this one in for next year Marcus ( already suggested it might make for decent long weekend away for my parents), it looks like an absolutely brilliant event some superb exhibits both working and static. That's one mighty fine tractor you own too looks very smart alongside the combines, thanks for sharing the photographs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 As requested, a few of my pictures Fordson N with Allman rear wheels. These were made about 7 or 8 miles from where I live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Some more................... This N is fitted with a hay sweep and was a little bit to far away to get a decent picture of said sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The most interesting item on display, to me War surplus wheels and tyres and a frugal use of steel for chassis, axle and fittings as necessary Who would bother lining out like this now? Nice to see it still has its handraulic screw tipping gear handle Must have been hard work winding this up.........and down I suppose Three registration numbers on this trailer and more of that lovely lining out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
