fenryk Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Lovely sight on field out the back of my house: MF 5150 on rear duals with power harrow MF 6290 on flotation front & rear with Amazon seeder on power harrow MF 6170 with normal tyres and 4 furrow reversible plough. Beautiful sight and sound. Planting winter wheat and trying to get it in quick before the forecast rain. The 5150 was close up on the 6170 and the 6290 was close behind them. Took plenty of pics but they have to be processed and scanned. I'll put up a selection when I get them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenryk Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Cant wait the suspense is killing ? Just keep taking the deep breaths. They were certainly a sight to behold. Had to tell them I was compiling a record of the local farming year so they were not concerned about the spotter with a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to tell them I was compiling a record of the local farming year so they were not concerned about the spotter with a camera. I just tell them I`m going to post them on this site & give them the address, their interest immediatly picks up when their tractors are on a web site .

The one on its own was probably first cut whilst that mounted with the seeder unit would make the tilth finer. I'm just making a logical guess since I did not think to ask.
