SPN Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I reckon we have less than 10 days of this dry weather before it breaks. Is the Valtra a 4 pot or 6 pot? Looks nice in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Busy times for you again Smithy, good to see the 4/65 back on the go, although the farm with the 4000's looks to have a few bits slowly composting away. Nice to have a tie to a an article or book, a bit of nostalgia for you and something to link you back to how things were 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The 78's not mine Smithy, it belongs to a friend who I do work for sometimes, but she's a tidy old girl and even though I'm a red and green man I'm still full of respect for her! That's just a baby load to be fair as we're just leading a short distance, when we take it a few mile down the road there's more stacked above the sides of the trailer than there is below! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
