Gav836 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Today I went to the NORMAC event near Thetford here in Norfolk, mainly to go plough shopping, and met up with Pingu and another mutual friend of ours there. Thought I'd get a few pics to share with the rest of you, very light sandy soil so no problems with it being too wet there. If anyone else who went wishes to add pictures then feel free Quote
graham Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 some nice stuff there gav looks like a good day out and the weather held off [ thats what you call a furrow press and plough the gus does not look to bad on the front ] Quote
Gav836 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 Last 5 pics, hope you aren't too bored Thats it folks, just one video to post up as soon as its uploaded Quote
jdc Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Good line up of machinery, Gav - thanks for the photos. Ol would like that ground - seagull's footprints! What plough is it to be then? Quote
1/32 farmer Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 very nice pics gav looks looks like you had a nice day Quote
Gav836 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 As promised, one video (with sound) of the big Massey and Kv plough with Packomats setting in at the end Quote

Cheers John I'm actually favouring a Dowdeswell, Rabe is ruled out on price I would imagine but the Overum is a strong contender as well. Dowdeswell would be nice though as I like the twin shin idea on the front of the mouldboard so you can change the bit of the board that wears the most. Prices given to me today vary between £14.5k up to £17.5k after discount for a 5 furrow manual vari-width with rear discs and a press arm Quote
Kris Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Great pics gav. Thats the sort of show i like. NOt the ones were theyre just parked up. Will have to get myself there one year. Quote
Rhysmassey135 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 i would have loved to go to that show ,I especially like those masseys Quote
texas Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Great pictures. I like the kverneland group equipment. Texas Quote
NewHolland2 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Nice pics Gav........Is that a Vogel&Noot plough on the Fastrac in the third set of pics mate........ Quote
Gav836 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 Yes it is Martin, considering it is was a 4 furrow it must have been heavy as it was lifting the nose of the Fastrac up on the headlands despite it having a set of weights up there....must have improved the build quality on them :-X Quote

BC Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Some nice shots there. Interesting to see a Marshall trailer with a blue chassis. Never seen one in the flesh despite driving past the factory every day. It is still dark in the mornings now though ;) Quote
