COWBOY Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good job you have done such a great job replicating the real yard before it got knocked down. Great to have the model one to keep the memories alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Sean just a flat concrete yard void of buildings. It's between 2 schools and the kids are wagging off class and hanging around the yard. It's become too much of a liability for the owners.

Tractorman810 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sadly end up as houses I recon , such a shame to see places like that get gobbled up into the village/town. I am planning to go and look at ash tree in May when I am up there, and if I can the other bigger farm,see what's left, been a good while since I last visited them, at least 8 years, can't bear to go normally as its all missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cattle handling kit runs ect or just leave it open There's a cattle crush along the side of the old cow byre with a collecting yard in front of the slatted shed. I'll put some silage on the slab in the centre of the yard and some round bales in the lower part of the yard. I've got some plans to convert the old piggery at the bottom of the yard into calf housing. Going to add a bit of dirt and some weathering as it all looks to tidy at the moment.

smallclaas Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 The Landini was never really popular here just pockets of dealers in certain areas. There's a couple around my area, but not sure who's selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
