Last few, for a first attempt to try to hold a tractor show at Beamish they hadn't a bad selection there but maybe could have done with a few more to bulk the job up abit, and break the chains of Fergys and Dextas and Majors, a few more browns and a Leyland or two, would have helped break the line ups abit....

Looks like it could be the start of a new yearly show ,looks a nice meadow to have them out on show and weather is on your side by the look of it 

It's a good location and added bonus of being about the museum too gives added attractions to those not 100% into tractors, hopefully bnext year it'll be a bit better supported with a few more exhibits

 Not today but recently had long ride with 30' Convio-headered Lexion 6700 driver (who I found is a customer of mine!) in peas and yesterday eve caught up again in lovely clean wheat of Cathy's uncle. Same threshing system as the biggun but walkers instead of rotas.

 Note the tank extension extensions!!! Oast house cowls, unintentionally caught!

Hope to catch the MASSEY(HESSTON) big baler later.

 Oh! and some new red thing, not sure what it is?......

Very lucky boy today, i was at a friend of mines who is helping me to get my 7710 up to scratch and fix a few niggles and he has just completed a full nut and bolt restoration on a Roadless 115, which was in fact Roadless's demonstrator tractor. It didnt take being told twice to go and have a play around the field! Absolute beast in its day, despite its huge bonnet the turning circle was impressive and a lot better than any county ive driven! Hopefully soon i can post some more photos of it
