thats a fair run up then marcus i know where you are have they still got the post office on the farm , ;) lovely 168 fella looks a nice i bet that is a nice farm ;) ;)

funnily enough graham , unlike eastbourne i can do that run in my hours ! as long as i get a good early start to get the M25 clearedi can make good time . as for the post office ? not taken much notice but the pub down the road looks pleasant enough.

What were they buckraking with, with the forage wagon?

Love that 7810 too  :)

got a JD handler about doing other jobs & just coming back to push it up every now & again

Very nice selection of machines there Marcus. I'll echo the previous comments on the 3650, gorgeous looking tractor. Ford 7810 spraying oufit looks mighty fine too, reminds me of a tidy Gem based setup around the same type of tractor that used to operate just down the road from me, the farmer has since replaced it with a New Holland TM130 and trailed Gem.

Just pop back and pick up that 3650 for me would you? What gleamer :-*

Good selection again, what dealer was the John Deere stop and where were the TX68's in they old nissen style stores?

the 3650, 7810 spray unit, TX's & the Track Marshall 70 all come from the same farm , around the havant /chichester  area also got a this chap waiting for harvest

Image014Small.jpg

also has a 4600 & 5000, TM165 & a C-IH 956  but couldnt get near them  :(

As Tris said, lovely looking 3650 there Marcus, somebody is certainly looking after that one.

they were all pretty well looked after mark , i think there's only a few workers & they treat all the tractors the same

starting to see more & more self propelled sprayers about now , usually a contractors machine rather than a farm owned one

Thats interesting to note, there's a number of contractors around here now using bigger self propelled machines too and most of the big potato growers near where I work run big Househam machines. Although there's still quite an eclectic mix of other combinations near where I live from Fastrac demounts, smaller self propelled Frazier Agribuggies, John Deere 7530 and trailed Knight to a Ford 6600 on a Ransomes mounted/front tank sprayer. Plenty of variation to look out for :)

nice collection definatly nice ford spray rig ;) and would like to see those two tx's side by side pacing through a field :o;):D

yes i thought the 78 was in good nick too, not much rust around the windows where they usually start deteriorating

unfortunately , the chaps feed usually comes from dorchester mill every month , so i can't see me getting back there any time soon to see the harvesters working  :(

Nice collection of pictures there Marcus - most mint too which is good to see ;)

yes got to admit colm, they were all pretty well up together & i too like mints  :-\

ohh the farmer said the 290 was the best tractor he's owned , used to be the farms main tractor also had an 85 loader in the yard for it ,& thats why he has in now on the slurry pump, it's not man enough to handle the bigger kit he now has , but he also doesn't want to sell it , thus a good retirement on the pump, still a shame to see it sat there .

not up on the diggers mate , knew it was a 50 something or another  ::)
