Willow-Hill Farm

Recommended Posts

Well I have finally got round to making a layout ..... Willow-hill farm. We currently have a small herd of belted Galloway and Charolias cattle and some saddle back pigs. We buy and sell a few sheep now and again to. we hope to invest in some other more rarer breeds of cattle later in the summer.  We do a little contracting work to local farmers and do all are own work with a fleet of masseys being the farms main work horses.

 

This is a birds eye view of willow-hill HQ at present

well we had a dry spell of weather and a right crop of grass on a few of the silage fields so we decided to get it cut and bale it up. The massey 8280 done the mowing with front and side mounted claas mowers. While the 7480 Dyna VT and the McHale F550 baled it up and the 5480 was on wrapping duty with the McHale 991 BE wrapper.

Sorry haven't been posting much hard getting time to work on the layout. But I have decided that the old yard at willow hill farm will be getting restored and we will be using the sheds to house some smaller implements, animals and some vintage tractors. Picture will follow when i get the time shed 1 is near enough completed.

The boss (Hector) was keen to get the vintage tractors into it over the summer months. A local vintage enthusiast dropped by in his old restored series 1 land rover to see the tractors which would all be attending the vintage rally next month.

We got the second cut of silage in few weeks back. All was going well until the 960 lay down. The rain was on its way so we phoned a neighbour to see if he could come in his restored claas 690 to put in the last 20 acres. He was delighted to get the 690 out a run and it looked well along side are 699 and Fraser trailer.
