Point of interest
10 August 2010
RE August's edition of Tractor, the article about Bob's Masseys; the yellow MF 20, reg MEC 938P, as supplied by PV Dobson; Cumbria County Council ran some of these, perhaps this is one of them.
Star Letter: Deutz tip tank
10 August 2010.
RE your article in the July magazine on Deutz (Intrac 2003A). In the early 80s, we had a 2004 which did us good service. Enclosed are a few photos of drilling spring barley.
Sandwich gearbox
13 July 2010.
HI FROM a rather wet and soggy Cornwall. I have just been reading through Jo Roberts' article about the Llandudno Transport Festival and in particular the Ferguson shown in the picture on the bottom right of page 47.
Lightning strike!
13 July 2010.
THIS photograph shows test pilot George Aird ejecting from English Electric Lightning XG332 at very low altitude on 13 September 1962...
Unleashing the power of grape prunings
8 June 2010.
THE Running on Gas article in the March edition of Tractor reminded me of a recent experiment carried out in a vineyard in Marlborough.
When the going got tough
8 June 2010.
I WAS interested in the short article about Bomford ploughs in the April edition of Tractor (Tractor Talk). As a young and newly married man, I went to work on a large mixed farm in Herefordshire in 1964.
Back on the radar!
11 May 2010.
I AM reading the May edition of Tractor and have just read Peter Small's article 'Off the radar' about the Massey Harris 82 and see from the last sentence you wish to know about others. Well, I have seen one, but not here; it was in New Zealand.
Wood's reaper binder
11 May 2010.
I READ with more than my usual interest the April 2010 issue of Tractor. Page 71 shows a Walter A Wood horse mower. My grandfather bought a reaper binder of that make in 1901 for £30! I still have the bill of sale.
Ploughing memories
13 April 2010.
IN the April 2010 Tractor Magazine, Alan J Cox recalls the ploughs that he has used. He also asks about a 'Wilnot Durnall' plough that was being used to reclaim some very wet boggy land, behind a Fordson N, driven by a land girl.
Sea Horse 2, sunk by cost!
