farmernick06 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well some interesting times have occured on the farm i walk over with the dog, the source of 80% of my pictures. They recently have hit bankcrupcy, there boss fired and they've had to sell of most of there machinery. Bad times. Ever since i've been a nipper watching them they've used Deere, im in love with Deee tractors. But with the farm in new hands ( well im not sure whats happening ) they have brought in new contractors. And my first real look at them today at work, with these two little beautys. One a Claas Ares something or other and the other a John Deere 7930. It does look strange what there doing. Basically something bent on the drill, i think it was the markers but im not sure and they've got it off the drill and using the Ares' front linkage are bending it back straight They seem like my kind of people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks all JCB123 - Definetly, got some more bits to go on tonight Kiwi nick - Yeah they do, im just happy they're still running dark green but the light green is certainly a bonus Mart - Yeah it's nice to see new people but as you said i've lost some good friends and alot of great characters over there. Which is definetly a shame Naschmach - Yuhuh Ben - Thanks matey, yeah we was very worried that developers would be interested in the land as they've got HUGE plans for practically a whole new town just over the motorway. Keep posted everyone, some more action tonight Just go to finish some coursework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well lets get tonights show on the road, they were back out in force again today. A total of 5 tractors working in close proximity. Four of which were NH .. whats going on I spotted this and fell in love with the combination. Still favouring the Claas tractors however but the NH do look quite stunning design wise See the irrigators and machinery in the background, ready for sale Then just as i've turned round to leave .. SMASH And that was the end of that I also noticed that there was a small fire underneath a trailer near by, im not sure how it started but this driver spotted it and stubbed it out. Strange \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
