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.

Used to go through here twice a day and back in the 80’s with ISR rubber bound for Yatesbury on the old airfield and it was in a Mandator, Buzzer
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.
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.
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.
