Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Buzzer:
“DEANB”

Dean the O on the keyboard is a long way from the A, my nippers nickname is Horry so called because as a youngen when he came home from school he was always to be found on the settee in the horizontal position, got the nickname and it stuck, Buzzer

Need new glasses chap ! :laughing: :laughing: :wink:

Be no trees left soon the way they are chopping them down in Wareham forest. I imagine the price for timber must be
through the roof as its trebled in price in builders merchants.

I think McCormick is something to do with Case,but i am sure Buzzer or Wrighty will know. Dont see many of them around my
area and John Deere still seems to be number 1.

Interesting thought Dean. In the forest nearby where the Forester machines were busy, I had the same feeling. The productivity of these machines is quite something. The forest got a thorough clearing out. I guess this is necessary now and again.

Just to take you back in the history of VTA 872S the F88 we ran all over Europe in the early 90’s, Buzzer

perfect, just simply perfect buzzer. something special about the f88/89’s. :exclamation: :wink:

Hi John, Marlborough brings back memories, for many years, I passed through Marlborough quite often when
travelling from up here in the North, on my way to my deliveries at Porton Down, Winterbourne Gunner, & Poole.

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

Busy on the farm yesterday with 2 tractors pulling tanker’s to keep this spraying machine going. Not sure what the correct term
is for the sprayer ? Clever bit of kit as neither driver had to get out when it reloaded from the tankers.

Had to zoom in as not very close.

Hi dean thanks for the pictures and the operation going on there is slurry spreading on ground about to be ploughed, big farms have large tanks to store liquid manure then they have tractor powered stir blades and pump it into the tankers that you see. This is a controlled operation and can only be done at certain times of the year and it is also a money saving fertilizer as well as Nitrogen in pellet form is at an all time high, between £600 & £1000 a ton. Good to see you out and about again enjoy your walks, cheers Buzzer

Yeah i thought it was slurry spreading. That sprayer was some machine but it did not take long for it to empty a load. Mind look how far the
sprayers extend each side. I never knew that it could only be done at certain times of the year.

This modern farm machinery is so impressive and the time saved must be unbelievable even going back 20 years ago. :wink:
