The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Found this impressive beast today, the result of mating an old Horsch Terra Trac to a redundant tub mixer to create a self propelled diet feeder. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad actually john, there was a decent breeze keeping everyone cool so sheep travelled easily and dogs weren't as knackered by the end.

Definitely, I'm not as keen to carry a sulking swaley half way across the moor as I used to be! Just gathered them today, didn't get up there till after lunch but they are to worm and mineral and the lambs will get their first dose of hep p and nip the tups.

844john Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Don't you just love sheep! I've spent my afternoon at the mucky south - end of north - facing sheep, a few days in a fresh fog and some of them look like they've had a heavy night on the beer and curry, got finished with hands and arms starting to resemble the colour of the Incredible Hulk. Needless to say, I was none too popular in the house at tea-time! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Oh the joys. Haven't got that problem yet, the cows get the fog and so lambs have to wait another month before they come down to some half decent grazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Day off today with the family, had a ride up to Alnwick Gardens, never seen as many people in my life, wouldn't mind their takings for the day Funny, in the photos it looks deserted! Lots of combines rolling, and between Hexham and Rothbury saw for the first time in the flesh a Steiger Quadtrac cultivating stubble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Didn't have to be asked twice to do some baling this afternoon aboard this JCB Fastrac 8330, loved every second of it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a Quadtrac before, not even at a show, so it was nice to see one, just wish it had been closer to the road so I could have got a photo. Alnwick Gardens is a wonderful place and the kids love it every time we go, kept an eye out for the Duchess, but unfortunately never saw her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
