It is amazing what is lying around farms all over the world, and some machines still run fine, just not used and the grass grows around them and a tree starts growing through them.
I used to work for an Ag wrecking company, and you'd be surprised how many farmers still won't sell them when they have been sitting for 10 years or more going to waste.

The common reply was " I'll fix it up 1 day"

so true, why are those farmers always so keen to keep hold of rusting crap all the time.
weigh it in boys, weigh it in

Because Dan perhaps one day some one will come along and buy that "rusting crap" and from that it can be restored to its former glory .. one mans crap is another mans treasure ..

And great pictures Marcus, shame about the tree growing in the middle of that JCB4

Martyn

thanks martyn , a few people have said it could've possibly be a 65 or Hydradigger so at least i now know !

agreed martin, but them old boys do seem to love to leave stuff to rot, they should move it on before they get even worse.

hedgerow hero's & forgotten friends

Does this forum have a link to it, or could you post it, Marcus?
Sounds fascinating..some of my favorite pics are the "before" shots of machinery, with the tree growing out of them.
What really gets me is how long some of this stuff can sit, then one day you drive by and see a trail of rusty dirt clods leading away.
"Huh! I didn't know that still ran"! You get the idea....
