The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Good to see the 6910 and 6930 Patrick. Lovely updates from this year so far. Really enjoyed my trip up to the Vale of York recently and it was great to bump into Andy aboard the 6930 drilling. Such a fantastic area for finding machinery at work.

Jdeere6910 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks for the reply David, they just need a clean now It seems around us that everyone seems to be doing land work at the same time, I suppose its because we have land which is very heavy so has very short working windows. Very good for yourself though I imagine, lots to photograph in one outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good for yourself though I imagine, lots to photograph in one outing. Really should of had photographs of a lot more machinery whilst I was up near yours, so much variety. I still had a fantastic day and noted a few other fascinating tractors and farms for future reference. Even if it doesn't work much i'd still really like to gain some photographs of that big old Ag - Gator on a future trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Few of the older 6490 and Hi-spec 3000g tanker, when empty its a bit of a handful as it gets bad road bounce, the tail wags the dog slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I should have popped over to see you today mate, a task i've yet to photograph. Tractor and tanker look very smart together Terrington, East Heslerton and Foxholes have been my ports of call today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever up our way just drop us a text, theres the off chance something might be going on. Some good scenery around that part of the wolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure i'd be too wrapped up in trying to take some half decent photographs to worry too much about the smell. I totally agree with you too. Masses of potential in slurry spreading action shots. Especially with splash plate tankers / umbilical spreader bars. Thank you, I certainly will do next time i'm out and about. Had fantastic day today. The two fields I was in near Foxholes were brilliant places to take photographs. It was also the first time i'd taken pictures of machinery belonging to B & F potatoes ( Bannisters ), Rookes and Stockdales being the other operations i've been with today.

Jdeere6910 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well bit of an update, though I might have gone overboard on the pictures. Mowing a wheat crop that is full of grass, Andy decided it would be best to mow before the grass goes to seed so we have fewer problems in next years crop. The oppertunity to try the camera n my new phone. Anyway here's the pictures, 6920's and KV mower. As always thanks for looking and hope I didn't go over board on the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Finally got chance for a bit of an update. Last month while I was out in New Zealand I had chance to stay with forum members Ol (Light Land) and Dew (Newhollandchick). As well as being great hosts, I learned a lot about farming in NZ and got my first experience of using GPS (scared me to hell to begin with) Anyway enough talking, here's a few pictures from that week. Ol's NH T7070 with the p/h drill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 The 7070 again this time with a Simba SL500. Definantly the straightest driving I'll ever do. Finally the spreader tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
