Deere-est Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Can't be too many of these still working, this may look past it but I am told in conditions at either extreme - either too wet or too dry this thing earns it's keep. Quote
TS135A DRIVER Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Not seen one of these working for a long time But I do know of one that has been parked away in a barn for many years. Not sure if it till in working order though Quote
super6 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Where do they store the two operators, in the barn? :D ;D Quote
Gav836 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Must be a good 17 years or more since I last saw one of them here. They did live on under the Underhaug name into the 90's in red and grey livery once Ransomes finished with them as well Quote
Deere-est Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 It is in the yard so I hope to get some better photo's of her when I've time to pull away the various bits of bonfire fuel lead up against her!! Quote
MJB1 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 there's a few still at work in the bromham area tris Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 According to the pictures this is one of the rare cases where a (Britains) modell looks much better than the original item ;-) Quote
Deere-est Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 Would you believe Marcus. . . Went up past the Bromham Growers ground and what do I see? One of these hooked on a Davey Brown by an old shed! Quote

One of these hooked on a Davey Brown by an old shed! , there's also a DB885 with a super de-lux cab on a sprayer in desperate need of a re-spray ! also across the road from the garage , there's a grimme continental harvester in need of some tlc as well , i like driving up there as all the kit is outside Quote
FB Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 i think theres one out this way under a pylon along side the A10 near Littleport, well looks very similar not sure of colour. Small plots of land there too so prob use to work on there \ Quote
Deere-est Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah loads of stuff up there Marcus/Steve.Always something being done too. When the mist clears there are already a dozen people picking crops out there. Ive seen that sprayer tractor up there. Quote
nathan Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 great little lifter, i used one in the 90's but we modified it so the spuds went in to boxes ,it was some thing fitted to the n/s wheel that could take this frame work that had pallet forks on. used to do abought 500 ton a year with it. britains got this one right and think it was the only one they have got right Quote
