Classics Earning their keep.

Taken a couple of years ago.
First proper workout after the model D was laid up for 40 years.:)
Not me driving but a mate who was desperate to have a go.

1977 David brown 996 does all the topping (10ft topper) manure spreading (2.5t) silage fields rolling (10 ft) and is on the 4 rotor Tedder too. Leaves the bigger tractors to do the tougher jobs. Will try get pics up ASAP

We bought an old Leyland for veggie patch for shop. Gets a job through spring and summer sowing/scarifying and spraying needs/ carrots/ beet root etc. Also gets a job at lambing time with transport box. Comes in handy and makes you appreciate power steering in modern tractors and how quiet/more comfortable they are.
 
@Tha Ulsterscot, Is that a Jones Balers Mini Tedder behind the Marshall?
Yep, its a mini tedder, just found it this past winter. Dad had one years ago, so I knew it would be good for what I wanted. It is to replace a Bamfords Whuffler, which was just a wee bit narrow to leave a full width sward for the round baler.So far its working a treat. Keep the posts coming, there's bound to be a lot more oldies still working:cool:
