Had a nice day at Plumpton Agricultural College open day, weather was good and nice to chill out and wander round looking at stuff. heres a couple of photos of what got my attention

A different venue for a South East Marts collective sale today, Lime End Farm at Herstmonceux near Hailsham in East Sussex Not much vintage to see, young Harry was eyeing up the early Howard Gem.(photo 7).. All I purchased was a breakfast roll and a cuppa (Yes Norm just the one) Here's a few photos of what was there...

I'm often on the look out for early light plant, but due to the harsh environment and health and safety, its survival rates seems quite low. well today after a bit of a road trip I picked up this very early version of a Belle cement mixer. i don't think the engine is the original( I do have a more inkeeping one in my shed) and the drum although good for a mixer is still a bit battered. But I've never seen another survivor, only original photos from the 60's. Anyway here's some shots, hopefully will make a nice winter project for me once my Gems are complete, and at least the colour is right!

Hi all This is my Clifford mark 4 rotovating a mill lade at my friends garden making it ready for shady lawn grass seed and wild flowers also Kiri and Kara not watching Emmerdale

I did actually buy the Howard gem😀

From 10am both days at Highbridge Farm, Highbridge Road, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SO50 6HN. A mixture of Steam, Vintage Tractors, Machinery, Horticultural, Classic Cars and Bikes and more......

I bet it won't look like that this time next year.

Can't beat a good bit of period literature

Thanks Paul. I fancied a change from always doing Howard's, plus my father was a dealer for them in the late 1970's- 1990's. i have just purchased an original sales brochure for them off eBay, probably more rare than the mixers themselves!

Looks a good project Gareth, useful too !

are you intending to do night ploughing now see you at Newby Hall

Yep. we're going with a bigger Ohlsson Rice display than last years (bought a few more)

Erm.... I think I might be able to make it???
