East sussex maize ground preparation


Fenside MF

Recommended Posts

I got home yesterday after work to find (I think) southover contractors muck spreading 3 fields down the bottom of our garden ready for ploughing and planting maize. :)

I think the kit was

Jd 6930 with bunning spreader

jd 6910 with I think bunning spreader

Southover Contractors used to have bright orange signs on the front of their cab roof with the name on it.

They were affectionately known as the Mc Clusky's. The real name of the two brothers is Rick and Chris Moderski.

    Just to confuse things, there was a company called Sussex Contractors who specialized in muck spreading. That was run and owned by the Thomas brothers. They ran JD's in spite of the fact that they were previously Sussex Tractors (Ford) employees. Jus' fort I'd mention that....... ::);):D

Southover contractors usually harvest the maize as I have seen the roof plates on the deeres but I am sure this was the same jcb tm from last year and there 6930 didn't have a name plate last september ;)
