Classics Earning their keep.

[MOG]

I had a red MF one and the bed completely collapsed last summer due to tinworm. I have now rebuilt it but made it wider and longer so no longer original :-(

I still have the bale extensions and dripples which would fit the Weeks Trailer too I guess (they appear to have been identical) if anyone is interested in them

They are identical, apart from the colour, it even says weeks on the front of the Massey ones

Yep, I even cut the pressed "Weeks" name out of the chassis and kept it. I was going to weld it back on the trailer after the rebuild but never got around to it. That lump is now sat on the scrap heap. Maybe I should rescue it, tidy up the edges and paint it to hang on the workshop wall

I like it looks good as new. Used one years ago behind the fleet of 4000s

Plough is a little small but just keep the revs low so Old Blue don't break it.

Got to drive the Versatile today. Rice is down and very slow harvesting.

The 4240 is also earning its keep on the mother bin.

@Steel

Thanks for posting pictures

what would the yield of rice per acre ?

And is the mother bin holding the crop waiting for a lorry to turn up ?

 

[Steel]

4 tones an acre is average, nany do 5 and you hear of crops doing 6, 15 t/ha.

Morher bins are used by most people due to the size of trucks. Our truck driver has road trains so we need 55 t for a load.

Sowing some lentils yesterday:

And then not mine, and not farming, but I saw this Marshall the other day on Hastings beach (where there must be about 20 Marshalls in various states of decay):

 

[Selectamatic]

@New Puritan we want to see pictures of your lentils and the like growing, being harvested etc!

Was that the one you were on about buying? and did you?

 

[New Puritan]

@Selectamatic - I want to see them growing too, once the dust-bowl I've currently got on my hands turns into something useful...

Here's a low quality one of the combine from last year's lentils:

And here's some of the 2016 crop growing:

Worry not, easier to sow into dust than mud, at least it's in the right place now for when the rain comes!

Claas Senator? We'll want pictures of it in action this year! Dad started with a Claas Matador, then moving on to the Protector before the Lely's arrived.

Slurry after first cut, the grounds very dry.
