Richard de Florennes Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 All right then, let's come to the last station of my UK holidays allowing for taking farm pictures: Having left the Fens on July 7 (Saturday), we arrived at mid-afternoon at Brize Norton, some 20 miles west of Oxford. I was very lucky, as this day featured not only totally dry weather and even some sun, but just by pure chance I saw kind of a forager between those beautyful but sometimes annoying typical English hedges. I asked one of the tractor drivers leaving the - of course - fenced field for permission of entry, and after this was granted I got the chance of realizing a child's dream and making pictures somehow resembling me of my first old Britains toy boxes, with the towed forager and the blue silage trailer most of you know. Anyway, the beautyful landscape and some sun allowed for some nice shots I want to share with you collegues driving on the wrong side of the road ;-) By the way, the end of this topic "foraging with John Deeres" will also mean the end of this topic from my side, as there are no more pictures to post then ? Now I will let the pictures speak for me, good-bye!!! Just in chronological order: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 One of this farm's five fabolous John Deeres was used for tedding the grass. Would like to have such a modern 2fwd wheel tractor as a modell - any offerings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Now that old 4755 looks absolutely fab - would mind hearing the roar from her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Now that old 4755 looks absolutely fab - would mind hearing the roar from her I love her too, looks like a steam locomotive, and has a real deep sound (would like to have her as a modell too, is something of this kind available anywhere??? Maybe as FTF tractor 2008, please!!!). Could try to send you a small video of her via pm. Further pictures will follow after a one-hour meeting (and maybe lunch); of course the 4755 will also be featured in detail ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Lovely collection of pics You struck lucky finding those Deeres at work - Love the 4755 I bet she sounded sweet. The little 6020 SE 2wd is a rare machine and I think looks like an interesting candidate for a 1/32 conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 thanks for the link and pics!!!, enjoyed them!!! ;D ;D the place is about 15/20mins from me. A guy in a JD was killed on the railway line there a few years back :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 An amazing set of photographs and a very wide selection as well. I enjoyed reading all of your posts and looking at all of your photo's. I hope we get to see some more from the Cotswolds, a beautiful area of this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I must dissapoint you, unfortunately: There was no chance for taking pictures of farm vehicles in the Cotswolds due to the following reasons: - more activities with family - virtually almost no farming activities visible - unfriendly farmers So, this was my complete report from the UK, cheers!

JohnP Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Richard, they are super photos ! When I first joined FTF, my first questions were about access to fields to get good photos - it really can a problem due to tresspassing and safety considerations, until you actually speak to someone there. I too have nearly come adrift around Lakenheath/Mildenhall area, usually cos I've been in a rush to see the planes (especially in the good old days of the F-4's) or "rubber-necking" those flying over !!
