Lovely updates and probably one of the best for variety..... What a range of manufacturers and machinery to see around Cheshire. Love the Steiger, looks like that Knight wants everything the Strived can give it too! 8)

Whilst this isn't exactly tractor related .................this area is the old Burtonwood airfield and hasn't really been wild grass for a long time and hasn't been sprayed or fertilized, as a result there are a few lovely wild flowers

Vetch (I think)

Went for a trip out this week to the Massey dealer, Pughs, I was looking to get the new UH 7624 but they didn't have it in stock, I got these instead though ::) ::)

Then a bit of a disaster show, first a JD 6400 that got a bit hot and then a big cultivator with a bent drawbar

Back to normality now and a NH tractor and baler combination that has been hired in.

Considering this area is quite flat I was surprised to see a hillside combine but the operator assured me that even a 5 degree slope can make a difference

Unfortunately my camera battery went flat after that which was quite disappointing as I came across a NH7.220 and forage wagon a short time later, oh well, I will just have to go back again.....

Nice updates, Mike. I like those two Sames working the grass ground. Nice big area they have got to get on with. Sky doesn't look to great over the other one though while he is busy ripping the ground up! I take it someone driving something big turned with the Simba in the ground did they?

I set off today to go to Southport Air Show which featured a display by the Red Arrows, (who I have loved since childhood). This is normally a 25-30 minute journey from my house but traffic was horrendous. After 2 hours we had only just gone through Ormskirk and it was still queuing with 7 miles left to Southport. We then made the decision to abandon the day and turned round and went back the scenic route which is when we came across a ploughing match at Rainford so at least the day was not a disaster after all.

Thankfully I had the camera and although there was not much out of the ordinary it was still a good day.
