Some more scenery photos from my tractor seat . These are taken in Co Armagh, Northern Ireland.
1st pic you can see from this just how difficult our harvest was, I am still having trouble getting around stubble fields that were tracked by combines and now lying wet.
2nd pic is over looking a moss or bog near my place it is about 700 acres and was once where the locals dug turf to burn in their fireplaces, It is now overgrown with willow and is a nature reserve.
3 rd pic The next field I worked in runs right down to the bog The drains grow a lot of weed grass and if you don't know the territory you could very well end up in one!
4 th pic is just a look in through the bush
5th pic some Limousin cattle still grazing
6th pic scenery
7th pic some of the fields I cut hedges in last week
9th pic some of our holstein heifers
10thpic Saw this field baled and wrapped on my way to another farm on Thursday....4th cut and 17 bales off 2 acres
More photos later!

As always, pictures of agr. around the world are appreciated.
I think it was the later 60's, I was in high school, when Dad bought a little three point hitch backhoe. It was orange. Came from the UK, made by the same company that made the Howard rotavator. I believe it said "Howard Power Arm" on the boom. But it seems like it said "McConnell" somewhere also. Possibly the same company shown on your "arm"?
 
Just did a little internet research- and it looks like it's Alamo Industrial- not the car rental firm.
Based in TX, they have bought up many of the specialty mower companies.
 
Sam! First pic looks like frost in the shadows... tell me isn't so! You are suppose to be livin' on a wee bit a heaven there...
lots of old cows, but no more Kennedy nnalert grazing in the meadows? Must all be in the pub....
 
Not frost that morning,Tony , but we have had some frost this week....Friday was unusually sunny and made it hard to see in the shadows...1st pic ...but my shades helped! 2nd pic .It is so much easier to see what I am doing in the dark 3rd pic and there has been a lot of late night cutting this week as we have rain and maybe snow forecast for this incoming week, plus we will catch the tail end of your storm in a few days!

OK. 2 Irish sailors walk out of a bar in Boston. All night place, so they have no idea what time it is. One says to the other, 'Hey Patrick! Is that the sun or the moon?' Pat says, 'got no idea Shamus, I'm not from around here'.....
