1979 Ford 3600

Don't do pit silage and work with a neighbour / family friend to get a combine in to cut the barley.

Anyone else add to this?? :thumbup:

not bad for a hobby farmer:lol::lol:.

N/H TM175, 2005
N/H TSA 135, 2006
N/H 6030, 2008
Househam AR3000 -2005

and I really am a hobby farmer;)
 
T20 (semi deceased)
2x MF35
3x IH434
IH574
IH674
plus a few modern thingies that I don't understand :lol:
The modern ones are SAME and the most modern one takes me a good 5 minutes to figure out which button to press to make it go forward. Working out how to make implements go up and down is a nightmare.
Given the choice the MF35 is the one for me.

to be fair to ya apples, ya must be like a sacred heart lamp, and a credit to ya.

you do a hell of a lot more manual labour than most here, and id be thinkin your one of the ones thats actually makin a good few pound while at it.
no finance leases for you and your damn right.
 
Thanks
We are surviving, and that is as much as I think you can hope for in this game at the moment. The job feeds and houses 8 families and their kids (one family really, but you know what I mean).
It's not a bad lot, the work is OK at worst and a pleasure at best. The fact that it is looking after and keeping together what is a big family these days is pretty impressive.
The older ones have been retiring for a bit now, and the younger ones have drifted off elsewhere mostly, but we still manage to get 3 generations of the same family grafting in a field together from time to time. I'm proud of that bit.
 
had a bit of a rationalisation, down to sensible numbers . . . .

'97 NH 5635
'98 NH TS110
'01 NH TS115
'06 NH TM120
'07 NH TS135-A (on permanent hire off farm)
'09 NH T6080 (due to be swapped)

T7070! I thought the red influence would have been in by now :laugh:

I notice the yellow one is gone too - may I ask why?

would love a T7070, but we'll wait for the T6090 Autocommand end of this year.

which yellow one do you mean??

we still have the L115b,

Ah I forgot about those 2! No sign of the Volvo then yet :lol::lol:

I actually meant the Fastrac that I thought you had!

had a baby fastrac last year, hired with a view to buy, lovely tractor to get up in after a days work (at the office) comfort was great if you were tedding, raking, carting but it was just too much to say we'd buy it for comfort as and when i was around home. if i were connacht based i'd consider it again (sort of the reasoning behind asking about the smaller unimogs)

no Volvo, if its anything it'll be a 412s Agri, went very close earlier in the year to buying on from kingswood plant, but sense got the better of us. liked it well though.
