SPN Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Not only will they get 2140, they will all be pre-1977! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Bit late Stan ;D http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=13346.0 Not only will they get 2140, they will all be pre-1977! We will show ye how's it done properly and according to the rules - no mickey mouse lawnmowers or local contractors brininging in 07 plates with us - oh no all proper pre 1977 gear here Will definetly try and get there as a spectator (hint hint will NEED a tractor to drive then ) - otherwise might the 3000 up but wouldn't fancy driving her up all the way up to Louth with her dodgy brakes and I value my ears more :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I've been to Cooley, nearly every year since i was no height!!! Its excellent and definately worth a day out!!! Would it not be a good venue for some of the Farm Toys sellers to attend? The next model show im aware of is in November would be nice to see/buy some models/conversations at Cooley.

ihatepoundland Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Why pre 1977? 07 tractor is still a tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smish Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 because its a vintage tractor working day, all tractors must be registered pre 1977. see the irish like a challenge, but this is a real challenge getting over 2140 vintage tractors with implements!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ah well that does sound like a challenge, imagine being 1 tractor short of the record with a field full of modern machines sat waiting to take the oldies home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 The last time they did it in Cooley (and I stayed at home that morning - to my shame ), they had 800 tractors registered on the Saturday. They didn't bargain for the 1000 that just happened to turn up on the Sunday morning. This time out it will be properly organised! I have three lowloaders organised already - now all I need are the tractors to fill them with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 er, 650, more because some will break down Think of those 1884s etc that you'll be missing out on, you could totally demolish the record if you opened it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I know Mark, trying to drop you in it like that I'll hold off because of my percieved mistake invovling the 1500 ( I was of course refering to the series, everyone knew that ) although if someone imports one and turns up, i'm in the clear (hint hint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
