T Minus And Counting

[Bathimp]

I saw a photo of about 5 of these in action in a vineyard but couldn't copy the photo to here. They are a thin tractor to go through the rows of trees etc. In addition to that I've found that you can buy a model of one at Amazon. There seems to be a lot of models of tractors 'out there'. I suspect there's more tractor nuts than us three.

I am getting a Massey Ferguson hat for Christamas. Could be the start of full MF fancy dress for next year if I can find some cheaper gear.

Ha ha, reading both your posts also rings true in the oneeye household; I reckon I could be in line for a tractor t shirt this crimbo from either my wife or daughter (only to be worn on special occasions)

I've tried putting it to them that we could have a 'his and hers' , not funny apparently

A lovely combine today; beautiful

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

It's a diagram of a combine harvester cleaning machine! There's a 236 in there somewhere!

The cleaning apparatus of a combine harvester has an oscillating sieve assembly and an oscillating pan assembly beneath the sieve assembly. The sieve assembly comprises a pair of superimposed sieves, both of which are mounted on the same frame for oscillation in unison and always in the same direction. The pan assembly comprises a clean grain pan and a tailings return pan both mounted on a common frame that is separate from the frame of the sieve assembly so that the pans oscillate separately from the sieves. The sieve and pan assemblies are mounted and driven in such a manner that the feed stroke of each assembly is in the same direction as its direction of conveyance, so as to maximize their ability to deliver materials in the intended direction. The clean grain pan, and optionally also the tailings return pan, is corrugated along its upper feeding surface with the corrugations inclined forwardly in the conveying direction so as to maximize the feeding action while minimizing retrograde movement of the materials thereon.

Well, I never knew that before!

Nice combine oneeye.

You can't go wrong with a Massey Ferguson.

Well impressed with the level of detail Yoghurt, you will be an expert soon.

Excellent combine Oneeye, one of my favourite bits of kit.

This is an Eicher EM 235 S 1967; she's looking angry

And this bad boy to set us up nicely for the weekend

[Bathimp]

This ones definitely ready for a Friday night out on the town too. Loving that cranked engine case. I suppose thats for the steering column.

And a nice calm baler too.

Another MF from me, but this one looks like it's been through the wars.

This one looks like its had a good night out in Shangri-La.

This one is too close to the scrap heap for comfort

Loud and clear to day in retro styling complete with dodgy Dutch jumper bloke and also bright and shiny on a frosty morning.

I don't have a picture, I just wanted the three of you to know I'm loving this thread and have developed a previously unknown interest in agricultural machinery as a result.

Thank you chaps! Keep up the great work! :-)

Small but practical from me today

Thank you Morse for the positive feedback; it is a team effort led (astray) by Bathimp - it's all his fault

It gives me pleasure knowing that the wonders of farming hardware are capturing the imagination of others

Loving the past couple of days posts Bathimp; dodgy dutch man looks like an old 70's school day out photo!

Great to hear you also have developed an interest Morse Code.

I was away at the weekend so missed posting. Here's a blue Ford in action;

Edited - It's not a Ford, it's a Fordson. Another new make?

Loving that. Nothing flash, just good old fashion agricultural practicality.

What have you lot done to me?!

Yes indeedy

Interesting that it's Reg. No. is BNL 232B; I posted one with Reg. No. BNX 232B, yet it's a completely different model, strange

It's a Doe Triple D; one of the 2nd generation built from Fordson Super Major units and fitted with the Servo gear change to the front unit.
