That’s the 1060 model, 1260 is a much bigger forager. Like the video 👌🏻👍🏼

Maybe I should have went to spec-saver’s your right this is a 1060 🙄😅😅

🙈😂😂

Brilliant George!!.... thanks

I used to Buckrake on the silage pit for many years 🚜 still alive and no neck pains at the age of 73 🙋‍♂️

Fendt 🚜 reverse drive would be nice 👌 however it would cost around 40 -50 thousands pounds extra 🙄🙋‍♂️🤔

Not yet as my wife is back in hospital again 💊it’s difficult to find the time at the moment 🙋‍♂️

@gtritchie5 oh no!!.. Hope she's ok mate

Found a trailed chopper 20/5/2024😊

@gtritchie5 nice one mate!!.... I'll watch it in a bit 😁

Yes still to edit video 🚜🚜

I asked Roy Broach the farmer I worked for at Thwaite Farm Ruthwell. This was his reply. My great grandfather moved to Thwaite in 1877 , I have no record of previous tenant; however I believe that the McKune family farmed at Ladyhall Ruthwell before moving to Slethat Farm near Mouswald. Best Regards George T Ritchie

Thanks for the message 😊 nice to see a very tidy farm 🐄🚜🐄

Thanks for the invitation to come and video at Smallholmburn Farm 😊🙋‍♂️

@@gtritchie5 You’re welcome anytime George. Will let you know if I see anything going on and give you a shout.

Hi my wife is back home at the moment, but going back to see if she’s fit to have pacemaker fitted 🤷‍♀️next Tuesday 🤞

Unfortunately I can’t please everyone 🤷‍♂️thanks for your comment 🙋‍♂️

Thanks for the message my wife is now at home but she has to go back on Tuesday to have gallbladder drain removed & hopefully the pacemaker fitted the following Tuesday 😊

Aye you’re right we had 2 Massey Ferguson 390’s it was difficult to diesel up 😮as you had to stand on the front axle 🚜

Thanks for the message hopefully get to video silage next week 🚜

Yes we had a nice day today 😊

I don’t expect that the MF 165 has been started for a while 🤷‍♀️my wife has been very ill 🤒 with her gallbladder infection Waiting for a pacemaker to be fitted when she’s strong enough 🤔

Good to hear from you 😊I hope to video on this farm again 2024 🙋‍♂️🚜🚜

Nice to hear from you again""

I agree the Entertainment wasn’t great 😢however the hotel staff & meals were okay 🆗

@gtritchie5 my wife an myself used to go before shearing got there hands on it....buffett breakfast, comfy and warm, now I'm afraid it's all too a budget, we still go back to whitby but not at the royal,but we do call for a drink when passing..

@@alanwilkinson9487 We went with Caledonian Travel & I would certainly go back again 😀

I really like this series of Ford tractor ❤

Thanks for the information (a very expensive mistake I would presume ????

@gtritchie5 I was surprised to see the sudden change to Claas machinery . Spring cultivations should be underway here soon once the land dries out. I'll see what machinery he's got this year as one of his bigger fields is behind my house. He may still have the Puma as I haven't seen that on Paxtons or Rickerbys website for sale yet.

Really surprised I don't get more views as I cover everything there is to see at the Rockery Spring Shows.

I remember going to Annan with my parents when I was young in the late 60s/ early 70s and looking through the gates of Rickerby (it was down a side street off the main street on the right hand side) and seeing the new tractors then which were probably an International 434 and later a John Deere 20 series with a Duncan cab. It probably started my lifetime interest in tractors and reading your comment I can picture them as if it was yesterday!

Yes it was Oppisite Corner House Hotel down Lady ST, Offices, Showroom and Workshops ,Rickerbys were partners with Duffs our Boss Wullie Duff had an Ironmongers shop on the High ST I remember the day in the late Sixties when one of the Rickerby brothers, i think it was Joe Rickerby ,was Killed in a Car Smash returning from a Exhibition abroad, the Driver was Wullie Duff!!@@davidwinthrop7077
