Ok, bit of a long distance shot, but he didn't get much nearer. Was on a drop off near Immingham this afternoon, and saw this stirring up the dust.

The rake might on paper be worth more than the rest put together.
But not to us!

44S is it? What we started with here. 2 orange lights on the front, one for bale ready to net, but can't remember what the other was for?

Oh yes! Reminds me of my student days. Not always the best sample but superb operator comfort. Great sound of the V8.

Back door open, maybe?

Yes. All three are 865's.

Not sure. It’s not ours. Belongs to a chap that rents a building from us to keep Dexter cattle in. He makes about 600 bales a year. I was helping him by rowing up with my rake. Good old baler though and very simple. Bet he could drive it twice the speed. But then it probably would go wrong.

How times have changed. I remember getting a brand new one to drive for the summer. It was the job. Driving a new big tractor. Now they are a diet feeder yoke
