I’ve seen a 7s on a strautmann forage box in north cornwall in summer, and couple 5s’ here but not spotted any of the 8s. Not popular here at all 

Alan Snow or what ever their new name is , in launceston had them in , was one there the other day .  But mostly 6’s and 7’s in  there  with a lot of 5’s , if its who i think it was they were running a big nh 7??  And a fendt 824 . Thought i saw them parked up on the way up but it was a fleeting view as i was foot down heading north 😆😆

I saw a lovely JD either 4755 or 4955 ripping up the headland of a field when travelling home today.  The farm has one of each, as we'll as five newer Deeres.

Quiet possibility the largest tractor I've ever seen drive past my house today as I was out in the garden having a kick around with my youngest daughter. Even she dropped the football in awe... 😂. A Fendt 900?? Vario MT tracked machine with a large trailed Kuhn Performer behind it.  Certainly not a local machine and where it was heading... If no idea. Possibly a demo machine from Atkins.

I passed a lorry on the M6 this afternoon with an interesting cargo. Front was an MF148 four wheel drive, the back was an MF135 narrow/vineyard model and in the middle was a mint Marshall 100. Couldn't get pics as I was driving but looked to have been on their way home after a show somewhere

Seen  the first of the new 7S Massey's this past week, a 180 on duals with a Kongschilde cultivator working by the road and today the first new MF hire tractor for G's pulling a fuel bowser, a 7S.155 and as usual it looks much better out on the road than a picture on a brochure or online.

Rare for our parts, I saw an Agrifac Condor sprayer go past today, closely followed by a 23 plate JD 6R 250 which had a tiny mounted sprayer on the back.  Must have been 800/1000 litres tops.

[phil phoenix]

I now have heard that the MF 7S I saw on Thursday was another 180 machine, this is because Pretoria Energy had just received 2 new ones this week with another 6 to follow!!  Not sure what got replaced as they have 10 x 8700s & 10 x 7719S plus a number of older New Hollands.  Its only a few years since MF were hardly selling anything locally, now we have Pretoria with 25+ and Gs about to take 30-40 on hire and some purchased😎

Part of Gs fleet pictured at Kennet branch.

Was planted in October post maize. Was going to put back into maize after cutting but I don’t think they are now. They’ll cut it for the second time when everything else is on its 1st. Only about 40 acres anyway iirc

A surprise interloper on my patch on Saturday, a metallic grey New Holland T7.270 pulling a trailer full of potato boxes. No idea where that came from or where it was heading.

I am sure i saw that Friday morning parked in one of the BP garages on the 142 road as i made my way up to Cheffins , had to keep eyes on road but it had trailer load of potato boxes behind  it , as i went around the roundabout the garages was on my left   

[phil phoenix]

Well done Smithy,  I saw it coming down the A10 near Downham Market maybe from Kings Lynn or more probably Wisbech way. So must be planting near Soham I suspect,

[phil phoenix]

Quite a few new tractors springing up on my patch this past month. A few new Fendt 724s, JD 6R 145,185,215s & MF 7s 180s. Also green & black Valtra Ts on white rims and a blue one with black rims! Plus a couple of Case Pumas and a yard full of NH T7210s going out on hire locally.
