nashmach Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 As some of you know, over the past 3 weeks we had a study break from college and it coincided perfectly with ploughing and sowing so plenty of pics First off one of our fields flat rolled and everything - next thing to do is check the MF 30 did a good job when it emerges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 My father finishing off a headland on a field - the job he really hates as the 4610 is very slow backing up and you are literally thrown everywhere in the cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Oh yes before anyone asks why there is so much left at the base of the ditch - it is because we are in REPS something like the English Country Stewardship Scheme I think \ Anyway the faithfull 3000 out on her annual jaunt with the trailer with seed on it - the fertilizer was already after being spread at this stage using the Vicon and Ford 3600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Is that the full fleet Colm -3 Fords.How many acres do you farm? F Yeah that is the full fleet mate - only had the 3000 and 3600 up to 2 yrs ago and then we bought the 4610 - used to have a Fordson Major up to 12 years ago but we sold her probably the worst thing we ever did :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Well as promised some more pictures this time of the 4610 flat rolling the barley really flat out in 7th gear as she had a puncture but more on that later... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
