Loved looking through them Marcus, a proper blast from the past. Who did all the 7010 series Deere's belong too? And great to see the 6800 & 6400? Silaging with the Norton trailers! Thanks for posting the 7710's were at a farm near dorchester luke , upcerne estate. 2000 acres of cereals & 500 acres of woodland & some real evil slopes on chalk & flint brash, also had a few pictures of the combines & the county 1004 but cant find those , i must have them about somewhere ? the 69 & 64 silageing was a good shot , i do like that one the noton trailers were on oversize tyres & were great to pull as they were on a wider track width than the marstons & would follow the tractor round corners flat out whereas the marstons were weaving all over the place Neat pictures Marcus,love the good old pictures. digital camera's are great Ol, delete what you want & are instant & cheap , but the proper film camera adds that bit of extra character to the scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Great pictures, yes today we're spoilt with digital cameras. What's the name on the side of the Claas selfpropelled? they were called WILLS PARTNERS from yeovil marsh / ilchester area. don't think they're contractors anymore , they had quite a big farm & utilised the kit they had. they first ran 120hp SAME tractors then moved to JD 6800's not sure what happened to them , but it was two brothers , i think one took the family farm on & the other went as a head driver on another farm , last time i saw martin wills he was driving a fendt 612 for another farmer Great pictures, it is always good to see the older stuff Erik. always , i'm familliar with machinery like this , went for a ride round in a few fendts the other day , i think i'd get used to it , but i felt quite left behind by the ammount of technology used Lovely pictures Marcus , i prefer to see the pictures like that.. gives it a more realistic feel i think deffinately low tech stuff mate , from a time when the drivers didn't need a phd to drive them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
