Abandoned

[milkloss]

There's loads of gear getting grown in, lots trying to get their hands on it but for some reason they never get anywhere.

There's a feature in practical classics magazine every month called 'rust in peace'. I wonder if there's a similar magazine for plant that would be interested in these pictures?

Edit: wonderful pictures by the way, I love things like this.

That sheeps foot roller could be good on a silage pit.

There was a Nuffield 10/60 and a grey fergie parked in a wood along with loads of other scrap not far from us. When scrap was worthless they were parked up many years ago, we got the arms off the Nuffield for my dads tractor and someone bought the grey fergie, it's a sad sight.
I don't think I could ever abandon any of my machines like that even if they are worthless
