The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Looking great so far coped with the sun better than i did , how did you remeber all the names off the owners Thanks Taz, i'm using information from the program I bought. Thanks David for all the photos. Not any DB 1412 either - the one and only prototype for the DB 1690! Your welcome Colm, lots more photographs of several other rarities on the way. I was without phone line / internet yesterday, should have the rest up by tonight. great great pictures mate Thanks Erik, still have a few more to come. Well David it looks a very good show and one I must try to attend some time the future. Som enice shots although it looked very packed which always make taking photos that more difficult. Like the French Farmall Cub and the poppy the the front grill was a nice touch for Rememberance day. Thanks Bill, I found it quite surreal at times moving through each hall seeing them packed with many rare gems. A brilliant show despite the difficulty in getting decent clear photographs, lots more nice "nashes" on the way. A fantastic show this year. Thank you David for the images. I managed to get a few early on the sunday before it opened which I will upload tomorrow. Your welcome Andy, look forward to seeing your photographs too. If I attend next year i'm definitely going to make sure i'm there for the weekend and not just one day, given the amount of exhibits to take in. There is quite a good thread over on BFF about the show, not only with pictures but also with some explanations about some of the DB models on display, one of the members was a judge at the show and he has brought up some little known interesting facts about some of the tractors. http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=41560 Decent thread there Mike and a few tidy photographs too.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Before moving onto the tractors contained both outside and inside the Friend's Of Ferguson Heritage marquee I found this rather smart looking Unimog and trailer combination in one of the unloading areas. Followed by the "Fergies" starting with a forestry equipped FE-35. 1958 Massey Ferguson 30. Narrow vineyard version of a 35. Nice looking 2wd 2640.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 After witnessing all of those red machines I headed over to the centre piece George Stephenson Hall to view the nominated and open entries. Starting with a selection of the John Deere tractors on show here. 1937 stream lined AOS. Neil Green's 1950 AR. Henry Dixon's stunning 730. Ben Craig's equally impressive 4020. It was great to be able to photograph one of these monsters too, a 7020 artic. Very smart 1040. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 However you didn't have to look too far to find another selection of very well restored red machines. Geoff Dunn's 135 followed by Colin White's 4wd example imported from Austria. Another of Colin White's tractors was this equally smart 178. A tractor that garnered more attention than most in this particular hall was John Hayward's "Natco 130+," a contemporary improved version of the Doe 130. Built from two Ford Force 5000 tractors joined in tandem the front half is powered by a 401 4 cylinder turbo charged unit whilst the back is propelled by a 6 cylinder turbo charged industrial Ford BSD 666TI motor. I had to be very patient to gain opportunity to take an unobstructed photograph of this tractor. Whilst this is Graham Cluley's 1970 County 754.

Lord Ferguson Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 David... I don't want to interupt this thread... but I must just express my thanks to you for taking these pictures for us to enjoy. Not only are your shots superbly framed... but to get them 'people free' is nothing short of remarkable - you have the patience of a saint I think. Anyway... thanks and please keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway... thanks and please keep up the good work Thanks ever so much Mark, enjoying contributing them to the forum, i'll post the remainder of my photographs over the next couple of evenings. I waited quite a while on some occasions in my endeavours to gain unobstructed photographs particularly in the George Stephenson hall, but I think it was worth it, there was just so many unusual and historically significant tractors i've never had the pleasure of seeing in the flesh before until my trip to Newark. Thanks again for your kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
