TM190 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 was it an open day through college-impressive place F No not an open day, Our course manager just organinsed a trip down for us, Does every year wow he has got lots of kit and trailers etc I asked the son how many silage trailer he has, and he said F**k knows But he reconed at least 25 of them That is one interesting outfit. I presume the older tractors are in retirement? 8 small combines keeps 8 farmers happy at the same time. Good pictures Blake, real interesting place to have a look round. Does he not do trade ins, or are the older Fords a collection he's gathering. The way he works is, He gets a new fleet of tractors every 3 years and sends back the ones he has, Any tractors in the yard that are older than three years he has kept because he likes them and thinks he can more out of them In the shed, were we went back in time (all the fords etc.) are just tractors he takes to ploughing macthes and shows etc. The Major in that shed was the first tractor he ever owned and the one he started contracting with, more than 50 years ago!!! Some difference in 50 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in the middle of restoring another Roadless 118 at the min, she was sitting all stripped down in the workshop only a small set up then ;D ;D , thats a scarey hedge cutter not seen anything like that for a fair while Only a part timer but really he is the biggest contractor in N.I.
