New Holland 8060
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 6:22 pm
Been busy converting slides of some of our previous farm machinery to digital format. Thought they might be worth sharing as its no good leaving in a box for know one to see.
First offering is an 8060 with a huge 13' header off loading some OSR probably Jet Neuf, a single low variety that consistently yielded 30cwts acre and you just scattered it on the field and it grew. We advance 20+ years and still struggle to advance the yield much beyond this figure.
The trailer is a Martin Markham 4 ton with a 6 ton axle (fatter tyres) This was bought along with two others from the factory at Stamford. I remember the yellow paint was still sticky when we first used them. The tractor was a Ford 5600. Rustons supplied the combine, Power Farming of Stamford (John Philips) supplied the trailers and the Tractor came through PM Tractors and sold by Jim Bowles. The location is Butts farm, Glatton, Cambs.
I'll add the date later.
