Classics Earning their keep.

Nice to see one of these out doing what it was designed to do. Can’t think where I’d go to find another.

Many years ago I used to have a toy version of that JCB, a Corgi I think.

So did I. There was a red knob at the rear that turned to raise the front arm.

Happy days.

There are or were good machines until you had a pipe or a wiring fault and it is still the same today the first things to go in to a J C B chassis is the pipe work and the wiring.
They have not changed a thing

Spent the day on this, not sure its quite a “classic” yet, but the MK3 Agrotrons will surely be considered classics in the near future. 1 of 2 my brother has, this the 115 and he also has a 120, both MK3’s

Maiden voyage yesterday for my "new to me because its otherwise going to the scrapyard" Hardi Master. New set of nozzles and a good clean and all good (thanks @SimpersTradeCounter). Spraying off some overwinter stubble.

Another piece of the jigsaw in place for starting a bit of farming this autumn.

Forget about the sprayer,what about the tractor Is it a 674? They were great in the day,pocket rockets!The first with Q cabs,and great power to weight ratio.

It's worse when they push you out of the way and say let me at that, your too slow.

This one broke me down to cut over half term I wasn’t to sure of the weather
I just gave in the constant weather updates were to much and this ones cutting that ones cutting he beat me into letting him and his brother at it
Starting to feel a bit left out

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I suppose you have to let them make a start sometime. As long as they will accept their mistakes!

Nearly, it's a 574, new on the farm here in 1973. Has a loader too which is handy. It'll be the main machine next year, pulling a small cultivator, discs and the 4m MF30 drill I just got hold of as well as the spraying.
I do need a front weight frame for it, it's small size does go against me with the sprayer, 500l is about my limit.
