Ford Ploughmaster & Masseys

flaming-ace · Nov 9, 2008

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and i would like to share some pics with you! My family and I have gained a fair few tractors over the years and now we use them for forestry jobs. I am at college studying forestry at the moment and hope to become a self employed contactor once i have finished my course. I help my grandad at the weekends and in college holidays, falling trees, cutting firewood ect.

(sorry if the pics are too big)

Heres 3 of our tractors:
Ford Ploughmaster with Forwarder trailer

Massey with saw bench

Another massey with saw bench

I'll post some more pics soon of our other stuff.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. The only thing I would do is put them in thumbnail form. There are still people on here that use dial up and it takes forever to load.

There sure are a lot of hydraulic remote hoses between that Ploughmaster and the forwarder trailer. How many remotes does that thing have?

Is all the plastic sheeting over stacks of wood or is that covering old tractors? It looks like I can see one tractor wheel showing in that final picture.

Good luck with your studies and career. Welcome to TBN.

the whole arm on the trailer has 5 hydrolic movements, so there is 10 hoses all together.

All that plastic is covering wood, it rains so much over here and it gets bloody annoying ha.

Cheers for the support!

Hi from another UK member.
I'm sure I see a Fordson in the last picture. Nice machines, and I can relate to the rain issue. The mud is getting a little tedious, I've had my Ferguson up to the belly.
Where abouts are you, up north somewhere?
