robbo Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Didn't see a Same all the time I was there. Mostly MF and JD with the odd Fendt and NH but only one or two of them, oh, and one Deutz as well. Not sure any of the Elefante ever made it to the UK, there were only a very few ever built mostly for road use as they were the larger big brother to the Samecar, more of an off road truck than a tractor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 As said before time seems to wait for no man but thought i'd best have her out the shed and clean down of the cobwebs now that the clocks of changed and we are in yet another lockdown..... at least the roads were quiet apart from the gangs of lycra-clad scum on 2 wheels......its always fun to make them sweat on the hills.... hahaha 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Had an hour up the yard with my better half (Gemma) as she was showing interest into wanting a drive of my 804, anyhows after a few laps around the yard she went to the top of the lane and back, seems strange seeing my pride and joy being driven by someone else, but i don't mind seeing its my Gemma but by the looks of it she's eager for another hour behind the wheel to get abit more practice in before hopefully next year and for a roadrun or show 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
