The Tractor Twitcher Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi a few pics of spud planting at Camblesforth nr Drax power station on 10/05/13 -- 4 fendt & a mf working away on job -- Due too it raining & blowing like mad pics not too good , im afraid was taken using me old camera - Think David will know of this spud gang I'll be honest Jon i'm not sure who that particular gang is working for. I know of at least three growers with land down in that direction. I've had a couple of trips up and around the Drax area earlier in the year on my way to see other machines working. There's certainly plenty interesting things lurking in farm yards around that area. I remember taking photographs at a ploughing match near Camblesforth back in 2003, and also had a tour of the Drax power station when I was still in Young Farmers Club. The weather has been very patchy around here recently, lots of heavy and blustery showers in amongst the brief sunny spells. Not the best for photography. Great to see those "archive" photographs of the tractors you used to operate too Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had half the field dedicated to horse ploughing, whilst there was also a vintage hydraulic class in attendance. All my photographs that day were taken on one of those cheap plastic disposable cameras. Fun day. I still don't think there are all that many people taking photographs of working machinery in North and East Yorkshire judging by some of the conversations i've had with farmers, contractors, and operators i've spoken to whilst taking pictures. I've managed to accumulate around 40,000 photos in the last 3 to 4 years and even now it still feels like i've barely seen the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Lots more fascinating machinery to discover I hope! That's certainly a fine list of tractors you've driven John. Really fancy another trip to the York sale. In amongst a huge amount of "scrap" there are a few gems to be found along with a whole host of older classic implements and machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
