I find it amazing that there are so many machines like this lying around on farms all over the country, I am often spotting old bits of kit down here in Devon, trouble is it can be difficult trying to explain to a farmer that you just want to take pictures because you are interested in old plant & machinery!! They look at you as if you have just landed from another planet !!
