I spotted another nice set up the other day..

Large JD, pulling a 3 axle transport trailer (similar to the Chieftan triaxle on the modhub) with a medium sized excavator on the back.

Saw a massey dealer on a trip i was on. Could have sworn I spotted the dual tailights of a 4700 series tractor. My dad told me to try not to drool.
Massey Ferguson For Life. If it ain't red, leave it in the shed.

Not so much tractor spotting but I’ve seen poplars growing today for the first time in Lincolnshire today! The wife did ask how they’re harvested...my reply I’ll show you on oakfield this winter 😁

Most guys get distracted and almost run off the road when they see a pretty girl or nice car fk rolling by me no it’s when I see any kinda farm equipment doing work in a field my first instinct is to see what type of tractor and implement it is and what he’s doing not exactly a safe thing when you’re driving haha

I saw an usual sight on the way to work the other day, A fairly large New Holland with a trailer, parked on the foot path. It struck me as an odd place to be given there's nothing even approaching a farm in the area. He must've been having a bad morning as I passed I could see he was trying to move and I could see it straining against it's own brakes. No wonder it was badly parked as he probably just tried to get out of the way of the rest of the traffic.

I saw a tractor working in a field the other night, but part of me wishes I hadn't. A John Deere was muck spreading and seemed to be going over the same grassy ground. As I'm cycling up the hill I see him heading for the gate. He got to the road just ahead of me and I was wishing him to turn down the hill as I could already smell it. Just as I got to the junction, he turned up the hill and went off presumably to refill so I had to continue cycling in his wake!

Thank heavens that smell gadget was an April fools!

I can still smell that muck when I step out of my door and it's some distance away :hmm:

Passed a Rogator the other day. Huge things. Have seen many different brands recently. NH with a massive liquid sprayer on the back, a Claas pulling a load, a Challenger, and a smaller JD with a front mower doing the local large playing field. Spring is here !

Saw a challenger mt900 (not sure of the exact number but it was a 4wd) I’m starting to see a few challengers start to show up once in a blue moon around here in eastern Arkansas
