Blue Nuffield

A Nuffield DM4 in blue next to Nuffield Universal Three with front weight. Not sure why the DM4 is blue. Possibly a fleet colour. MIL Loader brackets still fitted although rest of loader absent. Has a tale to tell!

Easter Offerings

Our recently rescued Leyland 262 with safety cab. Seems to have an addition next to the oil filter which doesn't seem to appear in the options list in the sales brochure. Could it be factory fitted? It looks nearly as old as the tractor and the occupants are long gone!

Rolling rolling rolling.......

Rolling with our Marshall 702 and Cambridge roller at the farm a few years ago. Keep finding the old photos!

Man & Boy - Baling with Leyland

Another photo from the archive. Me and son Ben with our Leyland 272 Syncro in 2012 hitching the baler. You can see the lugs for the dual wheels in this picture and the wide front tyres. Not quite needed for baling but in this field necessary for rolling in the Spring.

Spitfire and Ferguson at Duxford.

This picture was taken at Duxford in Cambridge. Thrilled to have a picture of 2 of our favorite things! Well worth a visit.

Useful Marshall 602

Taking advantage of a fairly mild autumn but needed our Marshall 602 pulling out our slightly stuck MF590. The 590 is fitted with a Bomford Flail hedge-cutter which has 'grounded'. Called on Sue to be behind the wheel of the 590.

Marshall 602. Spot the cats!

Our Marshall 702 with loader & trailer. Spot the cats. No prizes though!

Tern Valley Vintage Rally 2015

Great weekend at the Tern Valley Vintage Tractor Show. Congratulations to all the winners in the tractor categories including this winning Leyland 154 in the Leyland/ Nuffield category. So hard to choose from over 90 tractors. A few more pictures to follow on this blog. Many thanks to all.

MF65

Here we have a very early 1958 Massey Ferguson 65 MK1. It is unusual as it is still with the original owner who farmed with it. Note the early 'wedge type' sump which was supposed to enable sump removal with the engine in situ. A feature that was discontinued with the Mk 2, possibly due [...]

Three from my collection. Nuffield, Leyland and Marshall.

These are three tractors from my own collection. They cover almost 30 years of Nuffield, Leyland & Marshall and are still used today for odd jobs around the farm. The Nuffield was new to a farm in the Uttoxeter area and I acquired it from a farmer just outside Uttoxeter. It was one of the first [...]
