What tractors did you see today without getting photos

Recommended Posts

A road closure meant that the bus between Ellesmere and Shrewsbury had to take rather a long diversion, but it did mean I saw a fair bit of tackle out and about:

NH TM155 with furrow packer at Welshampton

Laverda 3750 combine minus header at Northwood

McCormick MTC ??? with Samson spreader Northwood

2 JD's at Loppington - one with harrow, the other with seed drill, Manitou loading (Were away across field so couldn't see what they were exactly

Possibly an MF665 combine in a barn near Burlton

Seemed to be a lot of JD's between Shrewsbury and Ellesmere - none particularly near to the road, but just on the outskirts of Shrewsbury was an older one (7810?) on a Vaderstadt drill, whilst there was a larger one further up the same field on the harrow.  A little further on, just past Harmer Hill was another pair, again couldn't see what models but one was ploughing (looked like Dowdeswell 5 furrow) and the other sowing with an Amazone drill

big old 7810 ford ploughing away on the side of the m4, a cat which may have been mf fans??? not sure, just past sindon, and loads of ih's and small cases, with 2 furrow ploughs on them all on low loader joinging the m5 at bristol, and several other makes inc fergys going north from the same jcn, must have been a ploughing comp nearby at a guess

Travelled across from Shrewsbury to Ellesmere today; not much to see today, except a smallish JD ploughing near Cockshutt, and not far away was an MF 3085 (I think) with a harrow/drill combination - not sure what the drill make was, but I think it might have been an Accord.

Then about five minutes ago, going up Swan Hill in Ellesmere was a Fendt 936 - quite amazed to see this, Fendts are rare as it is, I've never seen the flagship before.  It was hauling a rather small Lime spreader by the looks of it - overkill?
