An Interested Spectator Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Was walking the dogs this morning with my father, who was bemoaning the fact that so few people make small bale hay, and good quality hay making is becoming a lost art. Later the same day on taking my son home from school i came across a local farmer making a liar out of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allis8550 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The 65 is as orgional and honest as they come. Simon M should know these machines. Those rear wheels certainly are not original, I've never seen that type of square centre wheel on a 65 before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 FANTASTIC... what a wonderful 135 as well :o - I bet that is a real rare lady... and she's a red wheeler as well... one of the first red giants in the UK I would guess.... And the 65 looks like a gem as well... great find... thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Those rear wheels certainly are not original, I've never seen that type of square centre wheel on a 65 before. Nice pictures despite odd looking wheels on rear of 65. I'm no Massey expert but doesn't anyone know where these wheels would have came from??

SIMON. Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I do indeed the bincknell family nice to see it made the old fashioned way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Great pics Adie. I hope to have some like it in a week or two. I help my mates lot out who grow hay for commercial sale but use whatever is in the yard at the time (a tractor exporter) so we use anything from MF188's to Ford 8340's. Stacking is usually either a Ford 5000 or MF165 with a Farmhand loader - the best even to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeerMeadowFarm Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 We still make and sell small hay bales...but we don't have a nice way of lifting them onto the wagon like that; we do it by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
