MJB1 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 decided to have a bit of a walk round with the boys & the dog , & just like last year very sunny day for it , soil was good as were participants wont be naming all the tractors that were there but the McCormick-International B series was out in force as were the usual TE-20's & 35's, 35X's & the odd few 100 series tractors. What was conspicuous by their absence was the attendance of the usual ford contingency , a dexta, couple of fordson power majors & ford 3600, of course there were a few more of the more modern of the marque, but i didn't see any forson standard's or E27N's , no field marshals & only the one red DB ! but i'm sure you'll find what you like in the pictures the pics are not of tractor makes bunched up in groups , mf , international then fords these are posted as i saw them enjoy.............

MJB1 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 back in the day these two would only be in the same field for one reason.......to show each other up & to be the next prospective purchase for the farmer nowadays the rivalry is left to the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 & of course the real stars of the show were the horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 was a great day & there were of course the modern day equipment for the reversable classes but batteries getting low but did make me think a how many years before there are no old time true ploughmen to keep going with this art , i can plough but i'm no ploughman , so maybe i shold think about getting a plough for the 168 maybe ?

Murray Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 good pics there , good to see some horses still in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i can plough but i'm no ploughman , so maybe i shold think about getting a plough for the 168 maybe ? Definitely, but make sure you've got someone to replace you on the camera! A Ransomes plough would keep the outfit British. Failing that a Bamfords Kverneland or MF.

BC Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Excellent set of photos there Marcus and it looks as though the conditions were very good and you had a good day one. Do you know what sort of tractor the really old iron one ws with the mid mounted mower next to ths small John Deere model B ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that a Bamfords Kverneland or MF. thanks for the vote as for the plough , i know it's worth a groan at the predictability but was thinking of keeping it massey , maybe a 3f ferguson of maybe a later red 41 Excellent set of photos there Marcus and it looks as though the conditions were very good and you had a good day one. Do you know what sort of tractor the really old iron one ws with the mid mounted mower next to ths small John Deere model B ??? thanks ,the conditions were good although i thought some could have gone deeper a few inches to get a bit of moisture for the tops as the top edge of the furrows tended to crumble easily, i think a bit deper would have helped hold the crowns sorry bill didn't find out what the old iron was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I knew you'd want a fergie plough but go for a red one age related to the 168. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I knew you'd want a fergie plough but go for a red one age related to the 168. i think the decision will be related to my bank account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Great pics Marcus... not many 821's about either - lucky find that mate... As for the plough... if it's just a bit of fun then choose an MF... if you want to be at all serious... then it's got to be a Ransomes.. TS59 (with the big land wheel) Nice little MF260 reversible would suit your 168 mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 nice pics marcus, love the horse ones to, my mum can remember the horses and kit on our farms although they were near as finished with them by then, they still had 2 shires and the ploughs ect,know all the harness's and tackle was hung in one of the barns right up till they sold up,along with all the implements in the bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
