bluegreen Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Personally I would ruthlessly auction off most of it and just keep the items I would want on a new project for 2019..............And then restart with a fleet of Kubotas or something 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the Kit has changed now including the John Deere 8530 replaced with the Challenger, the Vaderstad has now gone in place of a Muzuri, Bateman for the JD R4040i, most of the tractors have changed for 6155r’s except for one 6930. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi all! It’s been a slow start to the new job spending most of my time since starting on the dairy unit covering for guys on holiday, firstly doing the feeding and then actually in the cowshed learning how to use the Lely robot milkers. But today I finally got on with what I was employed to do, in the R4040i stretching it’s legs putting the first dose of liquid N on the wheats. Regular followers will recognise the blocks done so far, Eames Mill, Blackdown and started at Selvinge. Back on it Wednesday to go up to Bondip. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 A few more pics from around the yard. At the moment I’m applying 18% N on the osr, everywhere at home done and hoping to get up to Bondip on Monday to get that on before coming back to finish off 400 acres on 26% N on the last 400 acres of wheat, by then T0 will be staring me in the face! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Evening all! Hope we are all ok, it’s been a while! Today was the release of the new monster of a Claas combine, the Lexion 8900. From what I’ve seen it’s an absolute animal and Claas now regain the title of worlds biggest combine. Has anyone heard any rumours of models of this? Much appreciated of any info. Leaving you you with a little teaser, if Wiking bring out the new Lexion 8900tt, Oakley will have 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 After nearly 3 years, Oakley Farms is back with a fresh new look. Welcome back everyone, after the forced break from modelling due to buying a house it feels good to now have an opportunity to get going again. I wasn’t sure 3 years ago if I’d be able to return or not and if so in what capacity as things financially are very different now. Now with a new spare room and winter approaching I hope to start rebuilding a diorama again. The sad part is that it will be different, all of the former buildings and machinery had to go as payment for boring things like house deposit and carpets! I will keep you all updated with the progress of the new build and re start the storyline over the coming days, bringing you up to speed with what’s been going on in the last years and how Oakley is set to change for the future. Great to be back…. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
