If it’s bulldozers &/or/on hilltops it’s a shame it starts until tomorrow as this was my bulldozer on top of a hill today. 🙄

Defo Bulldozers. Just a poor cun&paste performance.

What’s happened to MidlandstrailquestGraham?
Has he flounced?

this thread looks like a ded un’

Bugger better get my bike out and take it up the farm tomorrow 🙂

We have a Hoooge collection of Caterpillar and Allis Chalmers Bulldozers around!

Ok, my bike’s not in shot and it wasn’t taken this week, but I thought you’d like to see this Moules Harvester anyway.

edit – will try for some forestry machinery tomorrow at Llandegla.

Right just so it isn’t totally bare, here’s a couple of ours including our Fowler!

Here is the Fowler on our trailer with our Zed!

And here it is just after being switched off.

This was used to lift the Ariels at Rugby Ariel Station.

If you’ve ever listened to the Pips on BBC Radio, or telephoned the speaking clock then this Fowler was the tool used to lift the 800ft ariels into the air.

Perhaps this type of thread doesn’t really need the bike in it rule. Nice if you can but who really cares.

I’ve been too busy, I was going to drag one of our Challengers out of the shed today and put the bike against it, but I really haven’t had time!

PePPeR you seem to have a very interesting collection. More details and photos please!

Have you just got the one Fowler, or a pair (it is a ploughing engine isn’t it?)

Shouldn’t there be your bike in these pictures? not just random machines or have the rules changed?

Sod everything else, we need a thread just for Pepper’s Ploughing Engine!!

Although neither are transmitted from rugby, it was used for an atomic clock but all the tall stuff was dismantled several years ago

I’m only going from what we’ve been told, and all the tall stuff has gone hence why we now own the Fowler. 😉

Here’s a picture of a few ploughing engines.

and here’s the road loco with my boy and dog taking lunch in front of it, not quite a bike, but hey ho!

Sorry John, but no one had posted any pictures up at all, so I thought we’d at least get a picture of a bulldozer into the thread.

No bike in this one, but the operator (me) is an avid rider.

Heavy plant, earlier today. IGMC…

Heavy things that lift heavy things.
