The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Went on a "bus man's holiday" all suited and booted to the small store at Stokesley for a model store visit, followed by a pint and pub lunch when I returned home and now i'm having a relaxing catch up on F.T.F on my actual holidays.

Deere-est Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Heh much smaller scale I'm guessing but they do have a FMV-type log crane/trailer (Farmer C6,OD my camera says) + (?)Posch Leibnitz vertical splitter alongside other bits and bobs. Gah I want your life Tris, when will you be selling it on Ebay? :laugh: Not yet, waiting for it to go up in value!! Today we went off to Devon to pick up an MF590 with an 80 loader on it from a dealer near Tiverton, then on along to a farm near South Molton that had a sale a month or more ago to pick up a John Deere conventional baler and a Welgar RP120 round baler. We had to get the tractor so that I could load up the balers. Back at the yard we unloaded and then loaded up the lowloader with a 698 2wd, a 290 cab, a 590 cab,an engine, McConnel rear mounted forklift (a bloody tidy one too) and some cages full of spares, all destined for Cheffins, Cambridge. I am leaving at 4am on my tod to take it all up ready for Mondays sale and bring back the last two tractors from last months sale. Night all!

Deere-est Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Trip to Cheffins went like clockwork. Was up at the sale ground in Sutton, Cambs at 8am sharp but it did take three hours to get unloaded. Passed Captain Capon on the way up, just missed him on the way back though.

CMB Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 TB test part 2 and all pass. I'm amazed at the vets's ability to spot the lump from a distance and when the animals are going through the run at speed. They all behaved very well today and we were able to seperate then into their correct barns/pens for the winter with the minimum of faff.
