The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Few more pictures would be nice though, eh? A few more from the "harvest brigade" would go down a treat, although i'm quite taken by the Quadtrac yoked to the Simba pointing skywards too.

graham Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 did you work there mark .is the office just there to mark alongside 303. what i remember is a track leading up to a range of old buildings and liquid fert tank up there looks a nice place ,velcourt like them quadtracs dont they a few they run down this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 No Graham, but I'm born & bred in that area. Farm office is at Berwick St Leonard, about a mile south of the 303. I wonder how the quadtrac's tracks get on with the abundant flints to be found in the area ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I wonder that aswell, Mark. Another neighbour of Fonthill runs a 9380 Quadtrac - at Hindon actually so expect you may have seen it. All big farms along there, Graham but it could be one of the yards that fall under the Fonthill umbrella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellarian Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think the yard Graham is thinking of is Brown's at West Knoyle, sits beween Pertwood & Fonthill. Used to have a Versatile Ford 976, now has a Challenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Think so, met him at the Claas do. He was running a 9380QT, US import up untill 2008? He used it to pull his artic bowser for me when I was spraying there. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 did you work there mark .is the office just there to mark alongside 303. what i remember is a track leading up to a range of old buildings and liquid fert tank up there looks a nice place ,velcourt like them quadtracs dont they a few they run down this way I wouldnt say Velcourt like Quadtracs its more a case of liking the deal they have going with Case. Ive done work on 3 Velcourt farms and the problems they have with those Quadtracs is unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
