The Tractor and machinery thread

A farm graveyard in Holcot.... RIP lots of old machinery!

I'm not sure if there's any more buried in the undergrowth..

Early 70's JCB 3c and a tracked 360° model.
Well worn with plenty of play in the pins and bushes I would suspect. Just north of Heckington

Given so many arable farmers haven't been able to get on their fields since early October 2023. It was pleasing to see that the Lincolnshire silt lands were running clean today. Proper job!

I learnt to drive in one of those, aged about six!

I know from Shed and Buried that those Fergies sith rhe gold paint are fairly rare.

They were probably only made for about 18 months before the merger with Massey-Harris and the change of colour scheme.

The earliest red MF35s had the same Standard engine (iin petrol/paraffin and diesel form) for a period before they started using the more familiar 3 cylinder Perkins as the Standard diesel wasn't really a success (especially on cold mornings!).
