Hedge trimming was where we came in, wasn't it? My M-i-L's cousin is a contractor, and these are his current and first-generation self-built trimmers.
Also, being the talented chap he is, what he did with an old mobility scooter for his Grandson. MasterD thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen...

When you see some of the crude adaptions coming out of Russia you begin to realise how hard their agricultural industry have it. They must be desperate to come up with some of their creations.Looks like a really fucked up version of a menzi muck.

No, he made his own sheet ally body on an old mobility scooter chassis. Currently in the process of making a "barbie car" for his grandaughter.

I can relate to these. My neighbours had one of those Cases. Come from a cropping family way down South, so all nighters were very common when the season was on.Rural sculpture
Used to do similar things with bales toomade thousands of the buggers, wore out two round balers. Harvest time was always a curse; easiest way to become a walking zombie
make hay while the sun shines...yeah right most was done at night
First tractor for me was an old Farmall petrol. Carby use to freeze up in the winter and she would idle at a 2000 revs till the sun came out.
Next one was a real flash Fordson Major. Pure luxury!

Actually when both 970s were sold they went up north, the one with duals went to one farm & the other was brought by the neighbouring farm, think from memory was around Pukekohe actually. The 1270 & 1200 went to a collector somewhere around PalmyI can relate to these. My neighbours had one of those Cases.

Used to average 85hr weeks during the harvest season....did a 7wk stretch one yr without a day off, 16-18hr day then a couple of hrs off then back into another 16hr or 24hr shift was normal
Found this old paper cutting from the local rag.....was a bit of cheap advertising for the boss; he had be scalping jobs in another contractors area

Doug Hood!!! Brings back memories. My cousin use to work for him. He was a local icon around my area, and yours by the looks.
Lake Hood (named after him) is where the family does all their boating these days. Fantastic spot!
We used to have this little petrol Allis Chalmers that would do a million miles an hour on the road, but then it would get the speed wobble and head for a fence. took a bit of getting used to.
My brothers are still active crop and sheep farmers up in the Ruapuna region if you know it.

Very Very Clever man was Doug
Mary is still the director for the earth moving side of things and Peter his brother in-law controls Mountain View deer processing plant; have spent quite a few hours Salmon fishing with Peter and his mates
gravel alley, used to do a bit of work through there & Carew, almost toasted the round baler at a job at Ruapuna
Had a race with a bigger model Allis when we were doing a squash contract and yep they go damn quick...I was on a 830 Case with a backlift still managed to beat him but the 830 was rapid once we'd fiddled the governorsthey pull neat wheelies those ones.
In the early 90s Lincoln field days when the tractor pull was still a novelty the students built up one like that Allis with a 265 hemi chucked in it
