F8N Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It's a great idea although I think it's also a shame to do away with it as it's excellent.. I love the nostalgia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 For me Zac, it's so much nicer to see these older layouts rather than looking at brand new 300hp tractors with huge spreaders on the back! Mind you, it's still a bit modern to what I remember as a littlt'un of about 8 or 9,....me plonked on the seat of the dexta and carefully steering it across the field while Dad stood on the trailer and spread the muck off it by hand with a gripe. We only had a little spot, but looking back, we were still a long way behind the times in those days 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 like john i much preffer the older stuff, hence why ash tree wont go beyond 2000 tractor and kit wise, when we sold up. i just appreciate that kit more , its all different between the brands etc, mf was red, jd was green, even fendt in those days was just green , huge amount of implements as well brand wise, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Don't worry, it will be staying old for a few years yet there's plenty more to come it's the 70s and 80s that will be the interesting years when the gems we know and love today will be Frontline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timf Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 ...my first drive was at about 8 years old on the Dexta with Dad standing on the 9 hole drawbar, leaning on the mudguards. Probably towing a MH spreader on kale stubble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendtenator Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 My first drive was when I was four, my dad's John Deere compact tractor he used for cutting grass for the council. My mum and dad woke early one morning to the sound of it driving away, and thought it was being stolen and when he came out he found me driving up the drive away to cut some grass! I used to go to work with my dad and I had watched him and taught myself to drive it. I can't remember too much about it but IV been told the story many times haha. That would of been about 1988. Have fond memories of steering the combine sitting of my dad's knee aswell. Great times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
