ford4ever Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 some lovley pictures there mate i must say, have to ask mind, whats that mf 26?? on tracks set up for then? i guess a drainage rig looking at it a mf 2640 and for bog work What a mass of interesting machines. I love the bleak shot of the big Ford on duals in in the blizzard with a rather peeved off looking dog to the left of shot. taken in April when we got that day or two of snow, he used to run 6 or7 sg cabs deeres and bubble cab fords Great to see this topic open again - your cousin has a fine place he'd be a tasty enough farmer with about 300 acres .not the best for looking after machinery as you can see from the state of the same and deutz. got a new camera so expect lots of photos for the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claaspower Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 A contractor who is supposed to have lost 100k(rumoured) on last years harvest appears to be gone mad taking conacre.He runs a fleet of cases and well known on the tractor pulling scene And those rumours were true too,was a disaster of a year to startalso bought a brand new combine that year too. Those pictures there are of his Case Magnum 310,she was the most comfortable tractor I've ever sat in,unfortunately the nose on it wasn't very friendly for west of Ireland gates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4ever Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 That was taken over near Castleblakeney which was a good bit away from Dunmore.Thats the problem for West of Ireland Tillage growers ,very weather dependant. I gather Flynns of Lackagh were owed a good bit by various tillage farmers the year before last but got a good bit of it back last year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claaspower Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I doubt if Flynns would be on the wrong side of the debt somehow but I suppose nowadays you never know He rented that land of another lad he knows that bought a place up there but yeah it was a bit far away. He has it closer to home the last 2 years,in fact I gave him a hand to sow it this year,he sowed 120 acres of wheat in under 3 days with the one pass system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The Buttle brothers are farmers and businessmen in Wexford. Back in the 80s they had a big business importing 2nd hand tractors, diggers, combines and other machines. They often put their name on the cabs of machines like that.

Correct - still involved in the business too. I believe that combine has also come from Wexford - I am pretty sure I have been looking at over the past few weeks up in the North of the county.
