Light Land Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Awsome 399,one of the nicest MF's made I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hody21 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm guessing our dad prefers the 399 to the 5455s our one in college doesn't squeal \ is it hydraulic clutch or manual linkage ones as the one in college is hydraulic and has the t bar gearbox \ He used the 399 as it was already set up for the fert spreader. I'm not sure whether its a hydraulic or manual linkage, Ive driven it and the noise drives you mad, as soon as the clutch is under load it makes a terrible moan/screechy noise.

Light Land Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 One of the finest representations of English farming and of course Massey Fergusons I thought that as well Tris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hody21 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks for everybodys great replies. Since these photos were taken the nut bin (in the photo with the Mf 5445 and West spreader) has been replaced with a new Collinson one with a new auger to the parlour. I will try to get up and take more pics soon. Also in the not to distant future a new cubicle shed is being built to nearly double the herd, I hope to take a photo diary of its build from the groundworks up until the cows move into there new home.

hody21 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I popped along to dads farm today whilst on a day off from work. He wasnt at the farm so I knew he would be down one of the fields. I could see one of the 5445s was missing so I new he would probably be rolling or harrowing whilst it was dry. I found him as he was just starting one of the fields.

hody21 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 A bit of an update... Dad got a phone call on Sunday afternoon from my uncle asking if he would mind doing a bit of rotorvating for him as his son had to go and do a spot of relief milking, and as one of the rotorvators was hired in he didn't want it stood idle. I went along with him and captured the action on camera. First up the two tractors for the day, my dad is on the Case and my uncle is on his Deere.

Deere-est Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Smurf needs to see that Laverda, he'll wet himself with excitement!! Not many 7600's to the dozen any more, looks like she is in good nick too albeit in need of tyres. Nice seedbed they have got there, do you know what will be planted?
