SPN Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I needed some extra space to park a truck on a job. Was told I could access the shed in the yard. Inside was a TE20, 65, 165 (203) and a Super Major. In another shed was a Nuffield Universal. Went on to the next place we are going to be working to figure out the logistics and there was a 7A1 6600 with FIECO cab. Also saw a shiny new Tumosan 88-95 on the way home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 A lot of ground has been ploughed in the last 48 hours over here as the land starts to dry out. Lots of tractors out everywhere. But what made my day was meeting a farmer who still runs (since new) a 1978 FIAT 780 2wd, 1978 FIAT 1300 4wd, and 1980 FIAT 780DT Pininfarina. He also runs a JD3650, which he'll have out top dressing tomorrow with an Amazone spreader. I'm back that way next week, so if I see him in the yard I'm to pop in and get pics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ireland's Grass and Muck event is on this Thursday, so lots of nice kit coming off the ferry today. I met three JS Reid Scanias with Claas kit on't back. First one had a tractor and a very big Jag. Second one had a loading shovel, which was much smaller than I expected the Torion to be. Third one had a tractor and a Cargos 8400. I also passed the CASE show wagon which had a couple of references to Steyr on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Saw one of Pretoria energies 5 new NH T7315 /18 row Horsch maize drill rigs working locally this week, unfortunately I had no camera with me. And after many years of John Deere getting the lions share of G Shropshires 100 hire tractor fleet for summer work across their 10000 acre+ salad & arable land, this year they have surprised everyone and gone for 50+ Masseys instead!! Most are the tail end of the pre S series but Ive spied a couple which have the fancy new grille and lights..........................And Gs have also got a fleet of NH T7.210/ 190s just arrived.............................its all Red and Blue again just like when I was a kid before JD muscled in and took over 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutz few and far between this way, though I did see a new one (6xxx TTV?) at a distance pulling a Silage wagon a few days ago. The farm it was working from is mainly Claas so wasn't sure if it was on demo or something. There are odd older ones about, but its almost a novelty to see one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have not seen them myself but combine been cutting winter barley since Tuesday this week at Darmsdon , which is right next to the land that I rent at Baylham and I have barley on that land and it possibly could be cut but tramlines are very green 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
