Deere-est Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Lovely photos Alex, not such a bad part of the world at all mate. Nice shots looking across the maize fields and of the cattle round and about. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 cheers guys not very machinery intensive, so i guess they won't appeal to most.... but best i could manage in 3 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Interesting pics Alex. The bog bales would be normal big bales just made shorter. We used to bale them that short for horse customers. You need to make them quite light that's why they stand on end. Great pics... a nice change from the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendthead Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Nice photos, Looking though the back window into the front of a 590 brings back old times, spent a few summers doing that, looks like be is banging out four footers...used to make my right leg ache all that stopping and starting .

Gav836 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 5 footers on straw or there abouts as the size registering bit of the control box was playing up The joys of Autopower, no need for clutching if I don't want to just use the brakes, although even the clutch pedal is very light anyway with it just being a switch And as for you Marky........I've suddenly swung more towards the blue tractor when this is replaced........oh and two words...the second is off ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 thanks for all the kind words! i don't really know what im doing with the camera, i just point and shoot, good old canon iXus 70! tempted to put a picture or 2 into that competition in classic tractor, but im worried that i think some of the shots are half decent but that it's just my bias....
