JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 You may have notice me moaning about the lack of photo opportunities for a while.... anyhow, I seem to have collected a few recently, Starting with this Ford5610 at the local haven compare it to a similar machine with a header trailer in a wet cornfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 these were taken on Monday evening down near "Sunk Island" on the banks of the Humber (nearer Grimsby than Hull !) There's some big landowners there with some impressive kit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 this JD had the most lovely growl...(running to a JD975 on twin wheels which had been stuck several times as the ground is still so wet after the June floods) and a "chipped" JD8200 (I'll have to catch this one at work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I tried to be artistic and get an "end of a long day" shot, but it's not that good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I was on the way home from work this lunchtime and saw these 2 in a field above Brough.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 trouble is, they were working away from me (and I don't like to tresspass without talking to someone first) otherwise, I could have set the angles to get both tractors, the river, the line of power stations west of Drax, sun angle etc. Thats it for now Fingers crossed for more opportunities !

TS135A DRIVER Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Fantastic pictures John I know what you mean about not wanting to trespass on to fields, but I am sure that if you waved at the driver with your camera and point to it to let them see you wanted to take pictures they wouldn't mind in 9 times out of 10. I've seen holiday makers stop at the side of the road to watch baling and wrapping and have been only too happy to get my picture taken while working, have even spoken to some of them to tell them what is being done. Look forward to seeing more picures soon. P.S. Isn't the Ford beside the boat a 6610 model ? It looks like it has the larger air intake on the bonnet as is found on 6610 and not the smaller style which is shown on the 5610 with header trailer picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The P for Pro returns and brings with thee a wealth of golden goodness!!!! Cracking photo's, especially the first of the two vally shots with the lnog horn looking away from the lense. Nice on is that. TX62 and the 2wd 40series is a nice combo too. Glad you found something to keep the shutter going John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
