Bonnet looks wide for a Ford?

Not an IH is it? Cab the wrong colour. :dizzy:

I thought Ford at first but can't match it to anything , specially big square wings .

How about a John Deere 410, i think, there is also a 3CX tucked up behind the lead machine as well.

Think you might have cracked it there Martyn , finding a good pic of a UK 410 not easy though !

Don't the Deeres have centre crowd rams?
