This image of Pat Carey was taken by the late Steve Treacy it featured on the front page of the Journal on August 2, 1986. Check out the 1981 Massey Ferguson 620 cutting away in the background.

The same 1981 Massey Ferguson 620 recently restored by Brian and Michael alongside a brand new Class Lexion 650. This picture was taken in the same field as the above picture 25 years ago this month.

Three generations, Pat, Stephen, Michael and Brian Carey.

The crop was very ripe and cut at between 17.5% and 15.5% moisture.
