Take a little look at this. Luddite tendencies mean I'm not able post the thing directly on here, if you like tractors you may be impressed.
I've seen that before.... However, still great to watch again 🙂

It is indeed the old a1 near Boroughbridge
brakes - some t20 variant and a Ford all-road?
I don't actually know the answer - I think the blue one said Fordson on the front.
got names mixed up, it's a Ford Roadless, not all-road.

Reckon this a hay turner, probably a modified horse drawn one. Possibly used to turn 2 rows into one for baleing hay of ole binder for straw bales/stooks
Seem to have a vague memory of my dad & grandad using something similar.
Will show photo to dad who started out as a village blacksmith before national service
You would think that living in a rural area, cycling 60 or so miles around country lanes I would be able to find plenty of tractor activity?
Nope not one! There was an old Fergie lying in a yard, it`s gone and all the other junk has been cleared away and a big new shed has replaced it all!!! Thought that was a dead cert 🙄
Best I can do this week is this JCB in a field near New Abbey with Criffel, a local hike in the background.

I learnt to drive on a Nuffield just like that.
it's still in regular use, with the saw bench behind it.
It's a bit quiet here at work, so I'm doing some catching up on things.
I've never actually looked at this thread, despite it running for four years! I can't see most of the pics, because of firewall stuff, so I'll have a proper look later.
One comment by redthunder caught my eye earlier on:
redthunder - Member
c.1942 HUBER 8ton 4cylinder diesel ROLLER
Serial No. 3400
Fitted with CAT D4 engine with petrol donkey start, rear scarifier and canopy. Originally imported into the UK by the US Army for airbase construction during WWII. Post war sold to West County building firm and used for road construction then later used as company display. Signed on canopy Downing Rudman & Bent.
DR&B were in Spanbourne Avenue in Chippenham up until a few years ago, their site is now a housing estate, they used to have an old road roller by the entrance.
This one isn't going to trump anybody, needs a little restoration work:

So, can anyone tell me what tractor this is? 😉

CZ - any chance of finding out what that saw-bench is?
A small one 🙂 or is this a rhetorical question 😉
Great pix 🙂
Actually they are all great pix ^^^^ above posts.
Has it really been 4 years since this thread started 😯
Its a green and yellow one.
@timber, bloody hell, that's a good question. I'd have to drive over there, it's actually an old sawmill at Honeystreet, on the K&A Canal, not far from Devizes. That photo was taken a couple of years ago, when they had a little festival there, and the car parking was in the field out the back. It's probably still there, and if I get the chance, I'll take a run over there Sunday, see what I can find out.
@redthunder, it's sort of rhetorical, 'cos I haven't a clue!
But here's another shot from the same place, but zoomed in:

Note the three deer; wonder if one's called John... 😉
I'd say a John Deere 6930 or something in the 6030 series.

Well bugger me! I was sort of joking when I wondered if one of the deer was called John! I was using maximum 20x zoom to get that last shot, from the road to Avebury from Fyfield; the tractor's pretty much on the edge of the Ridgeway, I guess around 1km away.
I've rather got the tractor bug now; there's a steam and traction engine rally at Castle Combe next weekend... 😀
Timber, I went around to the sawmill this afternoon, on my way to the pub. 😀 The old tractor is still there, but I couldn't see the saw bench. However, a bloke in a big tractor saw me and asked what I was looking for, thinking I was a pikey looking for scrap, and when I explained, he said the saw bench was, IIRC, an Archie Kidd, made in Devizes. He thinks it's still kicking around there somewhere, but a load of stuff has been moved from around the tractor.
Hope that helps... 😀

Cheers CZ, got something similar, but different.
Unfortunately parts are becoming bit of an issue.
Probably still in use anyway, remove some things, add some things and the old stuff keeps going on. Our old tractor with the sawbench is probably the most used and abused thing we have.
It's possible, tractor guy might have been the boss or Forman at the mill, he followed me along the lane that leads to the pub, then turned into the yard. Big place, too, so it's quite possible someone suddenly thought, 'damn, where's that old saw bench we had kicking around?', and went and dug it out.
I do feel sorry for the poor old tractor sitting there in all the brambles and nettles, though.
Still, it was worth taking the trip over, I spent the afternoon watching paragliders flying off of Milk Hill, nearby, and I took over 300 photos.
