What tractors did you see today without getting photos

Recommended Posts

Saw them yesterday, but spose it still counts.

A truck carrying two Lely conventional small square balers. Didn't know any of the big manufacturers made them any more, or are they Vicon's with different stickers. Since I left the Ag business, I believe a lot of the individual manufacturers were swallowed up by bigger organisations. The name Greenland seems to ring a bell.  :)

Saw a Ford 335 today with some folding topper on the back. It was dark green so it could have been a Major. it looked as though it should have been on something much bigger though. :)

First time I've been on for a while....

On the usual trip home this afternoon, i only saw an ancient JD (26**?) spreading fertiliser on a field of newly-cleared grass next to the a55 near Llangeffni, then a MF6180 & simba solo working a stubble field off the M62 near Howden

If the weather is a snaff as forecast I'll put some pics up tommorrow....

A 6900 on like car tyres, as the other wheels are getting sand blasted and re-sprayed along with the rest of the tractor.

Our old rolled over 6520

And a neighbouring farmers rolled 6830 which is undergoing repairs.

John Deere 6650 forager.

Burnt out JD 3220 handler

Brand New Richard Western D*10 Rear spreader

My old 6320 which is still looking like a tool for the job  :'( Advert says 'In immaculate condition'

Fully overhauled, resprayed, the lot 2650  :-*

JD 6930, 50k, airbrakes the lot, on the dyno

Ermm. New Holland TS135a & Tanco wrapper

One or two things from my seat on a train from Kings Cross back to York:

Ford FW30 and trailed sub-soiler.

Case MXU leading wrapped silage bales.

Pair of 6030 series John Deeres leading silage.

Marshall 904 and Dowdeswell muck spreader.

Massey Ferguson 3600 series tractor leading manure

Lots of big square balers in a yard between Grantham and Retford train stations.
