[QUOTE="MF-ANDY, post: 7816193, member: 426"] In the late 50s early 60s the biggest farmer in the village bought a standen cadet.(the one that wrapped around a te20. Single row topper on front lifter behind). His men said they couldn't get it to work probably because they could see it putting them out of work having been lifting by hand previously. It spent the rest of the season in the yard. Dad brought it and used it before moving on to a junior then a tanker both behind a major. After that it was a solobeet with a 135 which he removed each year. Then came a cyclone. It was the year when standens changed to metric so it was a half and half model which made spare parts interesting. Things came full circle dad ended up driving half a standen 3 row lifter/loader. Friday, in the next village I saw a 6 row holmer, fendt tractor and chaser bin, cleaner loader and a queue of lorries waiting on the road. The field was cleared in a day. What would dad thought of that. [/QUOTE]
