BC Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very nice pictures from the show. Like to see the classic tractors you don't see often anymore. Texas Glad you enjoyed Texas... it is nice to see them in action opposed to sitting in rows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 not sure yet Well I was there from 8.45 to 2pm and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not as many working exhibits as what we have at our local working day in May at the BA Stores at Dunecht but I can see Strathnairn being an up and coming event. Assuming it does not clash with Lanark next year I'll be back ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Some great pics of what looks like another enjoyable event that you have attended Bill. Is that a nice looking model Ford 7810 2wd pulling the Keenan feeder in the model cow shed \ I like your shots of the County's and the Ford 2000's both original and restored. Also there is a nice looking Ford Escort RS2000 lurking behind a dexta in one of the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yes it was a really nice show Mark given this is only the second year and although wet and muddy underfoot on the stubble field it was fine dry and sunny above which always makes these events more enjoyable to attend. Not too sure if the model was a 7810 or not but it was exhibited by a chap from Caithness and the buildings came from Graham on here. I can see you like Ford and Ford related makes so I'm sure you would have been in your element at the event. ;) Yes that was a Ford RS200 circa 1977 behind that car. That was my dream car back then test but never did get one on the basis I would not have been able to afford one let allow insure it. I wasn't so keen on the yellows ones it would have had to be a red one... Venetian red might have been the Ford red around that time. Anyway I did get a Ford and it was red and also S reg but it was a bog standard Fiesta 950 ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Great range of pics and looks like a good day for it too Bill........ The old Bedford * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks Martin it was a rather nice day out. I thought you might like that old bedford bus a 20 seater with a bit in the back for calves and sheep etc so it must have been a Highlands and Islands one ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it was made / converted by a chap who featured in the Classic Tractor magazine a few years ago but ... I can't recall that article... i get too many of these tractor magazines to read cover to cover. The tractor behind the 7810 is a Ford 6640 conversion by Martin Smitts of Holland.
