They are obviously just work horses, but you don't have to watch em rust away to nothing.

not really abused, but the salty air and sea water isn't kind to steel.

I learned to "drive" on a Massey Ferguson 35!

Whilst out walking the dog on one of the regular routes (& also a sometimes ride-route home), a chain of 7 tractors came through
Led by a Fastrac
Going by one of the implements on a front PTO, I think they were off to cut all the corn that’s grown around here now

I was just around the corner after the bridge; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3675566

The above machine was working yesterday
I’d ridden along the river (Calder) bank, & through the woods, to see it lifting potatoes
Damned greasy in the woods, l was almost off a few times
It’s at that point where it’s not very muddy, just that slippery layer on top of a firm base

I remember as a youth , we had a very small machine that went on the back of tractor and lift a single row at a time, When I say lifted, it turned the soil over and hopefully deposited them on top. You then followed up on foot with a scuttle, filled it with spuds and emptied in into a sack and onto a trailer. Back breaking work! Sowing / planting them was much more fun!
