OK I'll match your singular tractors and raise you by a whole train of classic chuggers, encountered on a club ride on the Isle of Wight. They were very friendly, but wouldnt give way!

Almost the exact opposite side of the county!

Very similar tractor and location, though.

My gf's cousin (a professional tractor and various other kinds of farming style vehicle driver) is going on an all-expenses paid trip to the Claas factory in Germany, which coincidently I used to live about 100 metres away from!

Smiffy... Pure Claas?

You guys need to visit Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk. There's a Claas depot there with lots of shiny stuff. Mate of mine liked combines for some odd reason and was always loitering around it.

Mr Willard,

an old friend of mine farms alonside Claas at Bury, and his nephew is a sales rep there.

I don't really do the big prairie arable kit, give me a little stockman's machine anyday. Climbing welsh mountains with 2WD and no roll-cage sharpens the nerve, I find.

"Might not strictly be a tractor"
By being something providing tractive effort I think it probably is
Its far from useful as an agricultural tractor though, having started life designed as a dumper? A slightly odd choice of vehicle to adapt

Spotted this one on the ride into work yesterday morning. It must be about to tow the crap on the trailer off to a landfill site 'cos it's not a proper boat. It's not of wooden construction and it ain't got no mast or sails ;0)
