CX820Joe Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Have spent ages trying to set up a new printer/scanner and finally got it sorted, and found a few old prints I thought I'd share. The first two are the very first combine photos I ever took, I think c1985/86 and are not exactly David Bailey quality, but are of 2 of Contractor John Roberts' NH 8060's in the same field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Some more combines: 1) JC/MW Suckley's Dominator 106 working at Bagley around 1991 2) An MF 440 captured near Haughton, Shropshire c1994 3) the last Dominator 85 I saw in the flesh, at Rowton, on the Shrewsbury - Welshpool road (from about 2003) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Last for now, one of my favourite tractors, a Fiat 1000DT that belonged to Mr E. Jones of Hordley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is the ruins of one of the newer DB's still in the farm yard to this day. I keep looking for the 85 whenever my travels take me along that way, not seen it since though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whys the Fiat 1000DT one of your favorite tractors? that farmer at the time had a really interesting fleet - 3 Leyland 270's, Leyland/Marshall 802, Marshall 802 and 804, Deutz DX120 and DX6.30 and the Fiat; it was the oldest tractor in the fleet and I'd never seen one before (or since for that matter) and it was always a real beast, even though it seemed to end its days working the Kaweco irrigator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
