Massey tractor and NH combine! What part of the country?

I'm in Cambridgeshire, all I've ever known is Massey tractors and new Holland combines and I stick to the brands religiously lol

Got several old masseys here
Got a 590 turbo, another 590, 690, 699, 3080 and a 8210 which is on corncart in photo

The cr980 combine is a great tool, taking it steady I easily do more than both 8070s we had combined output

A lot seemed to dislike the MF ,500 series but in the day it was a jump ahead of a 100 series. The first 590 I drove was fitted with an Opico turbo and pulled well, a bit slow on the road and sensitive on the steering. The second one had a turbo fitted after 100 hours and was a better tractor. When I first got on a 600 series I thought it a poor layout.
