Next in line for a bit of a freshen up. It's been on the long finger a while and its well worth doing I think. She's perfect mechanical wise. I'll try and get some pics up as it goes along.

Good Year tyres are quite rare now . Lovely little tractor . It got a donor engine from an MF 40 loader .
Keep us posted .
 
Bit of a update on the auld 35. It's more or less ready to go back together. Needs new rims and tyres but it might not get them this year. She will be well tidied up all the same and a big improvement on what it was.

Just about finished, will get the wheels and rims sorted next year. It doesn't do a lot but I'd hate to be without it. The ex60 is next for some tlc. It mightnt be as thorough a job as @Endah done but it's needs doing...pictures to follow at some stage!

Well it's the original one to us. It was advertised as a long dipper so always persumed it was original. It gives her a nice bit of reach but manus the time ya wish she had a bit more. Its easy moved so that makes up for it.

What’s the pen dimensions?
How many ewes per pen?

Should have this replied to scoff, kept meaning to have tape with me.
Their all standard bay size, 15 ft 9" long.
One shed had 19ft 6" deep pens. Had 33/34 ewes in each pen one year. They were tight but kept plenty of feed in front of them and it worked grand.
The other sheds are 15ft 8" deep bays and put 25 ewes in them.
If they were sheared it would be a better job for more feed space but the weather in the spring here doesn't suit normally.
The pic is 25 ewes in the 15,8" deep pen.

Their pure lleyn, no Texel at all in them. Just always try and put a nice square lleyn ram with them, not one with his two front legs meeting.
Never had a beltex, often thought about getting one for the ewe lambs but then there's the hassle of lambing ewe lambs so I never done it.
