You see, it's not just me! Not #TractorCommentary, but near enough.
I am always here for your #TractorCommentary posts, Adam.
I like the tractor with the early roll cage in the background. I wonder what sort that was? As supplied or aftermarket add on? #TractorCommentary
Given what the tractor is pulling (the red tinwork and grey wheels make this a Massey Ferguson 35, I think), it's fair to say that the various corvids and woodpigeons are eating 💩.
This might put a different complexion on the scene!

A nice observational piece, showing what I learn is a ‘Ferguson Potato Spinner’ in action. Part of a suite of potato machines (mum took turns on this sort of work in the ‘60s - generally women’s labour then), i guess this shows how partial mechanisation was. #Skystorians #TractorCommentary
That the wheels seem to have spokes is a bit odd but some early motor lorries were like that.
This was probably a well-capitalised farm pre-war, and we can tell because of the tractor: it’s a Standard Fordson. Pre-war? Yes, because it’s orange. #TractorCommentary [cont.]
A snowy fieldscape. A woodpigeon in flight is the clearest feature - a grey bird with a wide fanned tail, white collar and pick chest, but the subject, by virtue of its colour, is a red and grey tractor and its towed muck spreader, distributing manure on the fields. Other birds feed on the manure.
We can't be sure of the model of tractor, but the make - grey wheels, red tinwork, is obvious: Massey Ferguson, probably an MF 35, the continuation of so many farms first tractor - including Brookfield, in Ambridge (one for #TheArchers crowd there), 'the little grey Fergie. 🗃️ #TractorCommentary
All good stuff - and a fine poster (Fordson with a reaper binder #TractorCommentary) - to illustrate it.
