Six Tractors and a Forager

This outfit has three carting (Deere, MF+MF) one chopping, one on Buckrake (Valtra) and one rowing up (MF). Colin took me to the Clamp, Willy and Ben were also carting, while Stuart (the boss) was chopping with the MF 6180, and Gibson on the Valtra. This was a community effort with at least four farms involved. Forager was a Reco.
Working - MF 6180, 4370, and JD 6420 and 6920. Valtra was a T130.

Theres something better about watching the farming done the old way :P

Im guessing your favourite tractor is the 6180, cus its the one you show the most?

Ooh aah! In my young days we used a MF 35 and Lundell 40" forager! Took ages, and left me with thumping headache (no quiet cabs then). But it worked, and used a lot less fuel. Contractor told me today he uses £500-worth diesel in a day with his Jaguar 870.

We have an old MF35, still going well :D

Only £500? Boy up my road uses nearly £2000 to keep a Jaguar 870, 6 Deeres, A massey and a JCB going :)
