Just goes to show how well it has been made. it was the angle after looking again,I'll be off to specsavers then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Recent additions to the collection via eBay and some from my mate due to a change in his model farming policy. Dads tractors fuel bowser, Murdoch Howard rotaspreader, UH taarup forager, an atlas dexta and a lovely DP1 built by ken Davies couple more tractors but want to take some better photos of them but one of them is to match with the plough....... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks mate, she would stay afloat a lot better than the rear discharge that's for sure, one thing I don't miss with the barrel spreaders is half the tractor being plastered up with crap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 A good idea that Sam, I wouldn't like the job with no cab. The last barrel spreader we had was a twin axle bamford on bogey axles, don't know what model number was and it never had any paint on it as long as I can remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it on a Nuffield 10/60 with a lambourne cab. It was the Howard 100 like the model I did with narrow tyres I bet it was a pain on the fields we have... one has a natural spring in it and it even bogged the big john Deere down with the bigger 150 we had. Dad had a full load on got bogged down. So he emptied the spreader unhooked it got on a dry patch and dragged it out with a chain. Then got the old parmiter chain harrows out and dragged his load around the field L o L. I would imagine your spreader was a red one when it had paint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine your spreader was a red one when it had paint Have done the same many a time in the past, trying to cover the bit dad said to keep off as it was too wet. Come to think of it there was a bit of red paint left under the chain guard where it was always oily, would like a model of one if I could find some photos to get it accurate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
