Tommy Gough Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) The 2 new tractors that will be arriving on the lackham college farm soon: a Massey Ferguson 6480 and one of the models from their new 7000 range. I belive both will be fitted with RTK guidance systems and Autosteer but not sure if that will be a MF product or another brand. I believe the guidance system that the students use is also going to be upgraded to use the RTK signal and an Autosteer feature may also be fitted to one of the 'workshop' tractors. And dont worry Massey fans, I'll get some pictures when they arrive. I can also get some pictures of the older models that run around the workshops if anyone wants to see them?

SPN Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Finding a Challenger MT765 in my collection (which I had completely forgotten about). Not finding the gable ends of my machinery shed didn't please me though as I want to set it up for some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Today the Council tax notice came in and I was quite pleased to see it was the same amount as last year. It must be the first "renewal notice" in a long time that has come through the letter box and hasn't increased in price And yesterday I had to pick up a parcel from the folks at Kemnay so I went via Kintore and looked in the butchers window and the house furnishers / tea room window as I passed and I was pleased to see they had displayed posters for the second Aberdeen model show in May. This was a new village I tried this year to help promote the show when I was visiting my uncle. Although folk say they will display a poster well some say that but never actually get round to putting them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 while hedge cutting today on roadsides around farm i had to pull out of my work to let a bus through, he only had to wait a couple of minutes but as he came through he made a few rude jestures, which i duly returned. about an hour later the same bus came back from the opposite direction, and i again moved out of the way. the funny thing was, as he passed me i noticed he had smashed his near -side mirror to pieces, obviously the farmers up route dont cut there hedges!!. as he passed he woudnt make eye contact with me, priceless. i nearly wet myself laughing!!

Leakeyvale Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 The other week I reported the male goldfinch had come visiting, He came again yesterday and this morning his lady arrived! Spring is definitely in the air - two cock pheasants were having a territorial dispute in a neighbours front garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring is definitely in the air - two cock pheasants were having a territorial dispute in a neighbours front garden. hello sue. last week here in essex we had two nights of -18 and -12. isnt it amazing how such small species of wildlife survive nights like that. nice to see that the food we all put out is doing some good. as you say , spring is in the air, nights and mornings are starting to pull out now.

Leakeyvale Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think these two have a hidey hole in a hedge that is close to the house and faces my kitchen window in a very sheltered position. There is a tight clump of yew growing over and around an old stump there, next to my huge yew tree, and which I KNOW has a hole in it although I can no longer see it. Great **** used to use it as a nest site (and maybe still do) and I know smaller birds congregate in such places as many bodies mean more warmth. Lovely to see them even if they are a distraction!

Gav836 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just had a parcel arrived with my garden seeds for this year to find I have more than I ordered. I've used a new company this year who supply the market growers as the seed shoud be better quality and it is vastly cheaper than the garden suppliers. It now seems that I have enough sweetcorn seed to supply a whole village as they didn't have the small 500 seed packet I ordered they sent a 2500 seed packet free of charge at a cost of £12.60 to themselves......result! Sweetcorn seed anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
