Can't move around here at the moment with tractors with corn trailers and hay bails/bailers and wish I had my camera for the combine working at 11:00pm the other night with all it's lights on. Would have made a good pic 🙁

Got a combine 🙂

Something I filmed out the window a few weeks back.

@dougal

At first with the initial shadow, I thought an independence day moment was on the cards ;_)

Fendt….. Whoof Whoof.

Testing the new camera…

ALMOST.

The “The Game” nearly ended today. An Allis Chalmers was spotted on road :-)…. However it was in Somerset not South Gloucestershire. So it dont count.

Is that a 3 cyl Perkins 35?

Porsche?

Seen much better days. Probably been sat on that spot since the population were moved out in ’44.

You could be right on that Fordson.

The first Model N’s were made at Cork in Ireland from 1929-32, in grey.

In 1932 production transferred to Dagenham and the paint scheme was blue/orange. The mudguards changed too – they are useful in dating Fordsons. Were they both missing?

From 1933 to 1937 they were produced in blue (this tractor?), and at the start of the war they were Harvest Gold. They had steel wheels for war production, and were replaced by the E27N Major in May 1945.

Just so you know 😀

Is that a 3 cyl Perkins 35?

I will ask tomorrow for you.

It’s not a MF35, it’s a Ferguson TE20 (or similar). Surely?

It’ll be a TEF 20 4 cylinder diesel. I’ve got one with a MIL Loader.

Mine is a bit rougher around the edges

Nice tractor. I can’t wait until I move back up the Highlands and can justify a Fergie (plus a transport box and a wood splitter) – being a Northern Irish man it’s the only choice 🙂

Little grey Fergie, the little rats of tractors.

I’m going for Fordson Major. Whats more interesting is they’ve got a horse drawn mower that hasnt been modified to be hauled by a tractor. Must have been people around and about since the building is newly sheeted.

Dont mock the might of the Fergie, first machine I learned to drive. I was seven and have has a soft spot for them ever since.

It looks like 3 cylinders to me

Is that a 3 cyl Perkins 35?

It’s a TE20 with a P3 conversion.
The other option was the infamous gold seal diesel engine (basically the Standard petrol engine converted to diesel, which is what mcmoonter probably has), which was renowned for it’s poor starting.

The P3 conversion kit was supplied by Perkins, and was that succesful, it resulted in MF using Perkins engines as standard.

This kind of makes you want to stand to attention and salute.

seen darn in the deepest darkest corners of the sw.

and working

Another type of tractor busy in North Notts.

Trailer added for ny desktop farm 😉 Mini Rolls Mmmmmm

An old rusty one spotted at a disused NZ gold mine

Tidy L-plate 3*50 Deere, one of the last. We used to have sequential number plated 3050 and 6400 on the farm where i worked and they were k-plate.

First time taking part in Tractor trumps. No idea what it is, just spotted it last winter on a snowy ride.

Is that a 3 cyl Perkins 35?

No, it is a home-bodged 3cyl apparently! Spoke to one of the tractor buffs and aparently he had all sorts lying around so built it up for fun – and has been runing it for 20yrs+ now.

Some tidy gear there LordonOne.

My 35x is a Perkins 3; it starts after a night indoors with a Shogun jumpstart!

Todays frosty offering. Something different a Valmet.

And another. All they seem to day around my area is cut grass in ditches.
