Fendt Fahrer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I love these photos, hard to believe all the changes in equipment in just the past 20 years or so. yeah you hit the nail on the head. It seems the last 20 years have brought on a huge change in ag equipment. bigger and bigger and the computer age has revolutionised agriculture. leaves me to wonder what the next 20 years will bring.

Ghost Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Great photos from an era where you could easily jump into a tractor and go off and do your work with the emphasis on driver skill, rather than press this button, hold that lever forward set up the gps etc, good to see tractors actually working for a living rather than you see these days such as 150hp £30000 - £50000 tractors pulling cambridge rolls or dragging a trailer around. Bring on more pics please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 These kinda photos id love to see more off. I love looking back at 80's & 90's era silage gear. Any one else have a few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Fantastic pics always good looking at times before i was farming full time Great photos from an era where you could easily jump into a tractor and go off and do your work with the emphasis on driver skill, rather than press this button, hold that lever forward set up the gps etc, good to see tractors actually working for a living rather than you see these days such as 150hp £30000 - £50000 tractors pulling cambridge rolls or dragging a trailer around. Bring on more pics please Think that's a little unjustified still a lot skill and new skills involved in it setting kit up adapting to conditions. And I'd like to see anything smaller then 150hp pull 12.5m rolls and 18ton trailer of wheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillview Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 BD Contracts managed to get some photos from his friends for me to scan. There are lots of old photos lying in houses around the country. Here are a few from JMC. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
