farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi guys, as a few of you may well know i was in France for a week last week in the Limousin area near the Dordogne. Quite an agricultural area so i took a few photos for you to all enjoy First a few pictures of the beautiful cattle in which the area is called Limousin, that is practically the only cattle you see around that area the only others i can recall are one herd of fresians. These are quite tough beef apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just down the road in the village there was a few vineyards or orchards and quite a loud noise so i thought i'd check it out and found a lovely John Deere 5720 The driver spoke to me .. but in French Would of been a stimulating conversation otherwise More after dinner guys put some more up in a few mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Those sprayers do sure make alot of noise, the B&B owner said they try to do it once a week Quite a few compact tractors in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 In the area you may be happy to know that John Deere are kings, but that is mainly because in our village there was two John Deere dealerships Not small either, but tractors are very mixed over there, Fendts and Renault are also very popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Saw this from the garden, got an extremely funny look but hay. The trailer was full of logs, not sure if you can see that in the picture \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Now my favourite set of pictures, have never really seen any classic Deeres apart froma 2650 so this was lovely ... and it was practically in our back garden. This paddock was on the back of our garden and there was only a small fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Not sure what that is on the front but he was just killing weeds and things.
