How things change over the years. Years ago before the big new yard when they just used the farms yard and buildings. Fax machines and Mobile Phones weren't allowed as I think to use them they consider it was Blasfemy ( spelt) to use them as they used air waves instead of a wire to carry the...
I believe the David Brown Hurricane Forage Harvester marketed and sold in the 1960's was manufactured for them by Russell's of Kirbymoorside at
Kirbymoorside Yorkshire. Russell also made quite a range of equipment which was sold through appointed dealers throughout the UK. When we had the work...
It was used by lots of farmers to windrow two 5 foot swathes into 1 row.
Acceptable in most cases on small farm to save the purchase of some thing like a Vicon Acrobat Rake or a Bamford Trailed 6 wheel rake.
The Vicon Lely Fan Ted never had the sales volume of the Blanch( British) Lely Cock Pheasant, certainly not in the UK anyway. I started working in 1968 for Blanch Lely which was there trading name at the time. The Vicon Fan Ted had quite heavy tines bolted to a heavy Belting this made its...

Sincere condolences to his brother Nigel and all the family.
Rest in Peace Jim.
I was at the Cranleigh Show in Surrey last Sunday both as a judge and vintage parade commentator.I enjoyed the day with lots to see in glorious Weather. However tractor owners and visitors to the show were very disappointed when looking at the good and various models of tractors ( about 50) as...
Mike Walsh top man and still with Mchale. Some of those miles in the early days was towing a trailed Mchale bale wrapper everywhere including up and down our Motorways.
Secura cabs we fitted from about 1968 to 1973 to the S A M E tractors imported and sold by Cornish and lloyds at Bury St Edmunds and then by A C Bamlett at Thirsk when they became the importers in 1971/72. The cabs were fitted in this country from cardboard box flat packed kits.
