TW-35 was always my favourite tractor, ever since I was about four
Couldn't see that on google maps, looks like it moves around a bit more than the Ford...
Case 2388 this morning. Loads of combines parked up in various fields this morning - clearly the end of harvest.

Grey Fergie? at a bay in Pembrokeshire

Spotted these a couple of weeks or so ago, in a field just outside of Biddestone, the crop is usually grain, for food use, usually beer! Next time I went over it had been completely ploughed over.





Not the best photo but I was stuck behind this huge beast for about 4 miles on Anglesey in the summer.
It was very impressive. The front tracks were interesting

Some Weardale monsters here




I forgot about this one from up near Allenheads a few month ago. It's not a tractor but should interest a few on here.. LR 101 Forward Control

Q: is this the oldest thread still running on STW?
Ransomes MG - this one was at a show near Tavistock, one of my schoolfriend's dad had one on his small holding orchard. Useless little thing, the old grey Ferguson did all the work.

I've studiously ignored this thread for the last 4 years
But it suddenly occurs to me it might be some sort of secret Tory grumble linking thread ???

I spotted this little guy at a vintage vehicle rally at Carlisle Airport yesterday. First show I've been to since lockdown #1 😎

Still going. I hope the tories have not truly discovered this secret thread 😉
A tractor rally went past my house yesterday, and I missed most of .... so vexed.
Got a couple of pix

Tractor Run 2022


Forget 'you could buy a car for that', classic tractor for price of a house.
I still find it odd to see these with glass in and no home fabricated frames.

last one from the South Glos Tractor Run 2022 from me today.

There must of been at least 50 of them.
Remember with your eyes as they say!

Did someone say shed queen?
Did anyone else see this last week?

County Tractors, wot made the one in the BBC story, were made in the town I grew up in. The most interesting thing Fleet ever did. I remember the yard where they had shiny conversions parked up. <goes all misty eyed>
A dash of WD40 and it'll be ready for work

Big yellow rusty thing at Boulmer..I guess it's an ex-lifeboat launcher

Thats a Muir Hill IIRC,,,,, nice.
It was Killin ploughing match this weekend.
Thigh rubbing filth on C5 on Friday.


and the Valtra .... Stealth Oil Slick. Imagine that paint job on a bike 🙂
VALTRA Pic nicked from the TV.

The old Redcar lifeboat tractor spotted outside Kirkleatham museum store. Also needs a quick squirt of WD40.
Heddington Traction Engine Rally last weekend, always a few interesting bits and bobs, and this tractor caught my eye, along with the item it towed…


It was actually driven to the event, and I can attest to the fact because I was sat outside the pub by the event entrance when it left and drove off down the lane. As did the Sherman tank they had at the event as well!
There were some interesting smaller tractors there as well…



@redthunder - any one in particular, or all of them? Actually, they’re all pretty cool; my best mate lives on what used to be the family farm, (they still own one ten acre field they rent out), but his dad used to have an actual Caterpillar track.layer, he reckons it was nearly twice the size of those two little Internationals!
He still regrets his dad getting rid of it.
The military one is a 1943 M4 High-speed artillery tractor - 18 tons, can do 35mph. Underneath is a shortened Sherman track system. The gun is a 1943 90mm Anti-aircraft gun, made by Chevrolet.
I shudder to think what the fuel bills are like for the tractor and the Sherman.

We were up in Northumberland a few weeks back. Popped into Northumberland Country Zoo and they have a little tractor museum.

They also had one of these there (not my photo). Quite ingenious how it's basically the same core chassis and engine just linked together.

As an aside my wife works in a junior school with a large rural community. The kids were making some model cars and testing them on ramps. One of the cars kept crashing. It was red and had bigger rear wheels and a cab over the back. So looked a bit like a tractor.
One of the farm kids mocked it for crashing by saying "That's what you get with a Massey". Properly made me laugh. Apparently he's a John Deer fan.
Was Three Cocks Steam Rally at the weekend.


Makes a change from the Fordsons you usually see like this.
Obviously, forestry stuff gets my interest.




This just popped up on Captcha when logging into my Alpkit account:

Armoured Fastrac?
A bloke on our village facebook group has bought himself a quad copter, and isn't afraid to use it. The proper close up photo's of a local windfarm, I reckon the owners would have been less than impressed! However, I digress, he took some pretty impressive images of some local field work. Lime spreading?? Dunno, I'm no expert.



That is indeed Lime. You'll see more of that with the NPK prices through the roof.
Could also be dried sewage sludge as that looks similar but smells a lot different.
Some interesting tractors near Murat, Auvergne



End of last week was the APF show with loads of forestry kit, plenty of tractors, especially the expensive stuff like Valtra and Unimogs.
