A toughie today; this is a Bandit 159(0) chipper

[Bathimp]

Very tough today. Here is a Bamford Super 159 Conventional Baler

The number is a bit difficult to spot will try and find close ups

[Bathimp]

Number clear on this one!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Apologies as this isn't numbered - again! Apparently it's a Track Marshall 90 (new make!). However, it was lot no 159 in an auction. The best I can do today.

More cheating with a Case 1594 Tractor. The number visible on the rear wheel arch.

Plus for good measure, although not machinery, a clear farm reference with the number 159. Another tough day!

Just to add variety to the forms of transport

Good question; having done a little internet delving it appears that his tractor of choice is a New Holland

“Love the Farm, leave no trace”: a mission accomplished by eleven blue tractors powered by 100% biodiesel

From May to July 2010, eleven New Holland tractors are at the Worthy Farm, the working Somerset dairy farm

that hosts one of the world’s most famous music festival,the Glastonbury Festival, helping to set up, and then break down, the event. The relationship between Glastonbury and New Holland dates back beyond the beginning of the festival, in 1970.

Michael Eavis, the owner of Worthy Farm and founder of the Glastonbury Festival, explains “our aim throughout the history of Glastonbury has been to make the Festival as green and sustainable as possible. It’s an ideology shared by New Holland, a company that fits in well with the Glastonbury ethos of ‘Love the farm, leave no trace.’ But of course, it’s not just during the festival that we use our New Holland tractors: they’re here working on Worthy Farm all year round carrying out state of the art agricultural duties, helping to produce masses of milk for the liquid milk market.” says Mr Eavis.

He owns two T7040s and a T3040 and at festival time eight additional machines are hired from the local New Holland dealership. Over the years, the Festival has grown more sophisticated, employing improved sound systems, staging and laser shows, to which the New Holland’s tractors have been adapting.

The tractors, which in the beginning were only used to haul trailer loads of stranded festival goers across the site or to tow cars out of muddy trouble, today can be fitted with a special four metre wide magnetised front attachment which can pull out rogue tent pegs and other metal objects from the deserted festival fields – removing a potentially lethal threat to the cattle that graze there when the music has stopped and the people are gone. This method has been improved with the help of IntelliSteer, the New Holland GPS guidance system.

Up early today to fight my way through the snow to Manchester

Here is a mighty Massey 158 to start the day

Not sure what going on here?

Also does wheelies

[oneeye]

A JD 158 loader; may be needed today

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Can only come up with another shot of a MF 158;

Probably looked quite flash in it's day but is a far cry from some of today's tractors. That cab looks very rudimentary and un-streamlined.

Nice number plate Oneeye I had my eye on that too!

Believe it or not there is a Massey Ferguson 157 manufactured under license (or something) for Ebro.

Loving the Grunge look

A case 157 (0) today; the lovely number plate model is Yoghurts posting not mine Bathimp (I also had my eye on it ha ha ).

There is an American Bicentennial version, although the 157(0) has been painted over
