farmernick06 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Or is it a Balfour Beatty job Thanks Will, Nah not on the railway this one it's in the middle of the field with metal fences around theres alot of pipes and everything like that so yeah i assumed that it is a Balfour Beatty job. The guy next door works for them so i'll ask, didn't get any pictures of it again today because ... well you'll see later * the whole of FTF sighs at the promise of yet more photos * But you might like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two are of the Manitou just backing up from the Ford after dropping a load about 1 min too late really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 He said he would let me in the cab but there is hardly any room for passengers, he also said if he was offered a brand new John Deere Massey Ferguson he would always choose his old Ford as he loves the feel of actually doing the job and is sick to death with all the computers in the cabs \ Loading the tatties back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Nice pics again mate......Love that wee 4610...... Interesting way of loading tatties too......Looks to me like the seed tatties are being loaded into the small hopper on the planter and then dropped into the ground......Never knew they did tatties in bulk bags as well as boxes...... I would definitely ask mate......No harm in doing so......There's always something to do around the farm yard even if it is tidying up etc......
