Frank crowley took us to see that tractor. Turned out that my dad was related to them .ended up buying a 690 4wd after tho.my oh would be good friends with the 3 girlsYes, they had an 880.
is pip ryan still alive ? i remember him writing about trying to buy a new tractor and he got demos of the ones he was interested in and every week he gave his opinion on a different tractor , it boiled down to an international and a fiat in the end with the fiat winning out, tengtool tom was probably involved in trying to turn his head towards the international
i,d have thought it was before 1984 but i could be way out too, find out what the word on the streets is around newbawn on pip and report back to us :deyective::deyective:I'm not sure to be honest, It's always known as Pip Ryan's here.
The Fiat is still there I'd say or one is. 1984 reg I think, 880 4wd would that be her?
I've met Mr. McCullagh too and have the same thoughts as others
Came across him in the meat factories and found him to be a bull of man and liked jumping the line to get un loaded. If memory is right when he was BSE culled there was a problem with cohorts on one of the sons farms which he wrote a lot about. It was reckoned the wife wrote the article in the info. Have to agree about McCullough, the good lord didn’t give him to many brains and on ear to the ground was always running down farming and trying to show it in a bad light to joe public.
full time running down crossbreds also and his entire farm leased to a farmer with a crossbred herd :scratchhead:
Not his full farm, he has some land in hand for cereals and flowers. Or at least that's what he writes anyway.
