texas Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 not often i see a fleet of them running , but they are getting quite popular , especially the smaller ones for loader work , yet to actually deliver to a farm that has one though Thanks for the answer marcus. Overher you don't see also often claas tractors used by contractors. texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 There are quite a few filming locations up that way. Another farm between Box and Melksham was used for a period drama last year starring Dawn French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 i know what you mean mate , if they were trying to match the colours to the fleet of deere's they had then you'd have thought they would have specified yellow wheels as well, if not mf red would have done , seems odd doesn't it i think they were built by marston anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 indeed they were mate, mf700's are a basic marston trailer, so when were you at rivverford then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
