Enjoyed latest Classic tractor but two points @rorsday ;

1. What's with the weird exhaust on the big JD8640? Goes over the cab roof. Couldn't find any mention of it. Might be being stupid..

Brilliant Issue...

I'd clocked the Exhaust over the cab aswell... re-read it to make sure I'd not missed the reasoning behind it.

There was a fad for a while to inject exhaust fumes into the soil while working land or drilling, cant remember why but maybe its left over from that system ? I am on BFF and TFF but aint used BFF for ages actually. Hope my article read well, i thought Sandy did a great job.

I meant TFF sorry. Don’t think it was for injecting exhaust fumes as he had a vad box drill but I may be wrong. I enjoyed the article on your tractor very much.

Brilliant job, Spotty Dog, thanks for spending the time with Sandy, he really enjoyed driving your MF 4840 and I was delighted with the outcome of the article. First rate machine. RD

 

[Spotty Dog]

Thank you.

The 4840 article brought back some memories. Myself and another chap drove one back from a dealer in Lincolnshire to Suffolk for a demo. Our lorry collected the dual wheels. We arrived at the farm on a Saturday afternoon. The farmer unloaded the duals and managed to chop a tyre valve off. We agreed to get it fixed Monday morning. We then got a phone call from MF saying another dealer had a broken down 4840 and the demo one was to be taken to replace it[emoji21]. iirc the demo took place the following week. I may have some photos somewhere.

The guy with 5 very tidy john deeres for the price of one new one was good article. Makes new tractors look ??

 

[40 series]

Some would say he's mad but the way new prices are going his kit is going up in value every year. I can't see how all the new kit can be justified.

What ever happened to Dave Davies i thought his articles were good.

 

[rorsday]

Vincent - Dave is still out there running his contracting business, but I think he felt the time had come when he had said all there was to say, and it was time for someone new in 'Farm View'. Like you, we miss his reports. RD

 

[msheep66]

I agree with @Vincent Dave's articles were very interesting all the best to him.

 

[oakleaf]

The farmview columns are actually my favorite part of the mag and the first section that I read each time.
Even though I ve never met any of them , all the columnists seem like my friends.

I really enjoy the issue on combines,
Like arable farmer who made older combine into a chaser bin !

Didn't he buy that new Holland with 428 hours on it ?

 

[holywell farmer]

Profi is good this month , the article on the fastrac was very good , concise, good and bad point all well made and very interesting overall , odd that the operator off the machine was i think not mentioned by name but referred to in the article but if anything the way it was written helped the article very well done to the journalist that wrote it quite refreshing

 

[JohnDeere8530]

Yes particularly liked the in-depth features on the 6y range of Ford tractors. They should do the 7A1 series and onwards soon to complete the picture
