We have been taking photographs of tractors and machinery since 1984 and in this new series of Down Memories Furrow we will be looking at Jonathan's photographic collection starting right back in the summer of that year and then moving onwards in time. Back then neither of us had expensive camera equipment - the first were taken by a Polariod Instamatic camera that was given to Jonathan by Stephen's grandad! Next came a very old 35mm Agfa camera bought from a jumble sale for 15p complete with bike lamp! Most of the pictures were taken around the village of Gisleham in Suffolk focusing on three farms in particular and then further afield as time went on.
We are staying in Suffolk and the 1991 harvest as a farms Claas Dominator 106 is joined by a brand new Massey Ferguson 38RS combine on demonstration. The wheat is carted away by a Ford 6610, 7610 II and Massey Ferguson 3080.
We carry on as the demonstration Massey Ferguson 38RS and Claas Dominator 106 finish the first field and move onto another as the evening begins to draw in.
The demo Massey Ferguson 38RS and Claas Dominator 106 continue to harvest into the sunset. Later the same farm begins autumn cultivations with a big Ford TW35 II and Kongskilde Vibro-Flex cultivator.
