Deere-est Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nice close up photos of the ploughing, some pretty sharp old boys there. Also, next to that Kobuta Hobbit Special, that's a red Collins Teleshift isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Some nice looking ploughing going on there Mike. I noticed a couple of tractor have horse shoes attached to the front grills is this an English thing....I have never noticed that before. That Grey Ferguson with the 4 cylinder engine and the front weight box and side (belly tank???) certainly looks different It has the Perkins badge on it but normally these Fergies were fitted with the P3 engine. I'm wondering if it is a 4 cylinder if they have managed to fit an L4 instead The L4 was normally used as a replacement diesel in the Fordson E27 N's.

robbo Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I don't get out onto farms anywhere as much as I used to but occasionally I manage to see something of interest. This wasn't a farm, more of a breakers yard and most of the stuff was vans and cars but he did have a few old tractors hidden amongst the rest of the metal. This is still used to haul wrecks around the yard. Whist this one was hitched to a roller Apparently this Leyland was a recent purchase from a farm sale and looked in good condition for its age 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 There were a few old Masseys where the cabs were on the point of disintegrating And an equally tired David Brown In the shed was an MF35 with the 4 cylinder engine, this was a runner when it was put away but hasn't been started for a while And then deep in the undergrowth was a Fordson Major 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If Bill were there he'd take the old majour home on a car trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I would need a heavier trailer and my Nuffield to pull it Ol... but to England and back would be a long way Edited June 1, 2014 by BC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Had to call at another farm today and saw that he uses nothing except John Deeres, mostly classics. Apparently at one time he had 7 JD 2850's but now only has 2 left This was the newest one I saw JF 6430 and loader Then a slightly older loader tractor JD 2850 in immaculate condition Unfortunately that was all I had time for but I could see a few others across the yard :'( 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 They're some really smart older deeres Mike, shame you didn't have longer to have a poke round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Stopped at a service station on the A580 near St Helens and saw this rather nice modern New Holland ploughing at the back. I was amazed how quiet it was you could hardly hear the engine running at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicksy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Really like the jd 3650 and the 2850 would like to trade my 2130 in for a 2850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Big red beastie cutting hedges today, seemed like an awful lot of power just to drive a hedgcutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Slightly smaller hedgecutter today, I wondered if this one actually had enough power for the job? Edited September 30, 2015 by robbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Its been a while since I added to this topic but I saw an outfit harvesting fodder beet today. Unfortunately I was wearing my good shoes and I had another appointment to go to so I couldn't go into the field and had to take the pictures over the hedge but you will get the idea. Matrot 6 row beet harvester and NH 7.185 with Richard Weston trailer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Also in drawing away from the harvester was a Valtra and trailer with a Ford 7600 parked up seemingly as a spare 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Bit miffed today.The local garden centre had a tractor event on today and I almost forgot about it. Suddently remembered just after 1 and then had to run around getting things organised to try and get there. I pulled up in the car park just after 3 and it transpired that at 3pm they were all off on a road run so they werre all driving out as I was driving in. It was a great shame as there were some real beauties there as well. I did manage to get a few just before they left as well, (but at least one of them was a Same ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Same manufacturer Pete, but much older than Sam's at Rillington, he has just bought another one over from Holland. Becoming very rare over here now the older versions like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
