Dublin Airport Tractor

Drove to a farmer, N, in Kildare to stock up on hay. This tractor was in his yard. He told me that it used to be one of a fleet of tractors in Dublin Airport, and though the David Brown 990s are normally white, Dublin Airport painted them red. The next owner tried to bring it back to its original colour by painting it white again, but didn't do a great job. So the result is a bit of a mix.

I took the last of his hay. He's getting ready to cut for this years stock, but the rain at this crucial time is a bit of a disappointment. Let's hope the sunshine returns in time for his hay and my holidays after this week.
