Classics Earning their keep.

[Skintagain]

Been around a while that one.

Just on a similar note, we used to borrow 2 Howard rotospreaders back in the day, both identical except for the tyres, they were the same size but one was straight cut like the old JD 1360 mowers & the other was the zig zag pattern Avons.

The spreader with the straight cut tyres would do the same trick coming out of the field every time & slide across to the ditch without trying, but the zig zag never did even if you tried

Old 1350 mower was a bitch to keep straight

To be fair it has been quite pleasant to sit on this for a couple of hours over the past few days in the sun harrowing orsey paddocks. Easily overlook the no brakes unless you pump away like Michael Flattley and the lift arms that need a bit of coaxing by jerking the clutch to help lift the harrows when needed

Our 4610 and Massey 30 seed drill sowing spring barley last week

Sometimes wonder how far we have come. Our neighbour has a Massey 30 on a 956 IH and gets a lovely even emergence in most of what he drills.

My ED 40 with the MF 30 drill. Great to be in the open for a little while.

 

[William james]

I’m hoping for lovely emergence as we haven’t used it in over 20 years

 

[William james]

I wonder is our 2 Massey 30’s the only 1’s going in the peninsula?

Classic combo

Consider a light footprint with a sip of fuel. Once said 'if you need 4WD, you shouldn't be on the land'. Power harrows force a seedbed with a diesel cost. A wet Jan/Feb became a dry March/April, adapt.

A lot of truth in that.

Jethro Tull said a massey 30 drill was way overkill and massive expense just to put a few seeds 1" deep in a row when it was launched!

Off my old coal merchant
