FendtFarmer Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, I thought I would introduce my self properly so am not just that guy that just lingers in the background and comments/post pics every so often like I have done for the past few years! My name is Ben, from West Yorkshire, I work on the family farm (arable, beef and dairy) being addicted to collecting models since I was a kid, had a couple years out from collecting whilst I went to do the 2000 mile harvest in the states. Model wise I focus on ford fendt and Deere tractors and implement wise anything that takes my eye. going to start a layout soon (when I eventually get round to it!) so please keep a eye out Edited December 13, 2016 by Agcofarmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Good to hear about you, Ben. I'm also back from an FTF sabbatical! I did the harvest in 2003, remember it like yesterday but it a a long time ago, now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go Chris, some of what I get up too in real life farming, With a model one for good measure and the beginnings of a small pedigree limousin herd 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Very nice Ben,looks like you have some decent dirt. Nice kit aswell, looks well looked after. Limousines look very nice, as you know, just don't turn your back on them!!!. We have about 50 in our 370 head suckler herd, and they are mental, so unpredictable. We mainly have saler's ( or salairs) as some spell it, and Sussex. We have 14 stock bulls which are saler's/ Charolais, Simmental. With followers and fatteners we are at about 975 head at the moment.
