Scottish County Tractor Club - silage making weekend in Aberdeenshire - now Back on for 7th and 8th June 2014

[NIGEL FORD]

Nice video from 12 yr old Chris....but who's idea was it to put music to it....CRIMINAL!!!! I was so looking forward to the "music" from the machinery....I can hear the music anywhere if I want....

[BC]

Ha ha ...Nigel I did email his dad saying nice choice of music but the video could have been been good and even better without music and just the sound of the choppers...anyway good to see young blood taking an interest in tractors and machinery from 30 odd years ago

Classic tractor has now been delivered to subscribers and is in the shop so here are the balance of my photos from the weekend 3 weeks ago.

That first bout was rather big and damp for Jim Cadger on Jim Stewarts' County and 719 but it handled number two with ease.

Thats it from me from the Saturday...come back later (if interested) for more action from Sunday

[BC]

Sunday got off to a slow start after the rain on the Saturday evening. As tedding was done by Tony Wood and Kenny Merchant the chopper operators had time to grease their machines and sharpen the blades. Even when they got going the grass was heavy going and there were quite a few stoppages mainly to replace shear bolts.

 

The pit on Sunday morning.
