dont see many of those massey loaders now do you?

That's very true Jordan... the last one I saw in the flesh was at MF's factory in Beauvais  :-\

nice photos m'lud! i'm sure you'll do some retail therapy of MF merchandise tomorrow to get over the day of those other coloured tractors....

Thats not a bad idea at all Alex...

Does 700 mean 7t, Mark? Exactly the same under the paint as the 10t AS Trailers at the farm I am on at the minute.

No they were all numbered the 700 range Tris  - totally alien to MF's usual numbering system.  It's very similar to my 10t Griffiths as well - but they are all one of the same I think.

I've visited a few more of my customers to do some baling this week... here's a few images for you...

The JCB is a nice machine to drive once you get use to it.. but not the easiest thing to hook up to a trailer... you can't beat looking out of the window at the hook and ring...

155hp ? Fendt.. not rated particularly highly by the owner either interestingly enough  :-\

thats a great find, looks in fairly good condition, does it run well and what does he use it for

its used regularly for cultivation mate mainly I think... I think it's got a bit of a brake problem... but that's only minor

hell of a machine aint she, what does he usally pull with it?? saw a big valderstad drill there in april as we went past

as for the other one, on the right, is that his to?? looks a different model, but a big artic non the less

same model... but on singles I think mate.. he pulls a one pass thingy with it - not sure on the make.. the valderstad goes on his quadtrack mate I think.

So you are now a terracotta fan then Mark ;D

Only plant pots mate  ;);D:P

how many acres does he farm to justify 2 artic fiats and a quadtrac then mark??

Not too sure mate... but he's got quite a lot of very heavy land

That's the farm at Longstanton where they put the by-pass through isn't it Mark? where Jacksons had there compound ;)

That's the one Paul

Nice pictures mark, i lost my pictures of the one on the way to your place, just sent Ol a picture, he loves you and wants to kiss you later

I think I'l pass on this kiss... thanks all the same... he can just give me a peck on the cheek if he really insists..
