Here's a lovely Nuffield Universal I found by the roadside near Grantham today! its older than my Nuffield DM4 I reckon and it looks like its a petrol or Petrol/TVO model. Uncut Axles as well,(mine have been gassed off which saves a lot of gate posts but doesn't look as original)It also has a genuine Nuffield front weight which my friend has one of sitting on his Fordson but won't let me have!
What a great weekend again though...

That top photo of Marko's; poor wee thing!
Looks like it's been picked over by vultures, it's terribly sad. 🙁
Can I join in?

Not technically a tractor I know but still pretty ace to see on your commute.
Well I liked it anyway...
I like it too Sam, proper bit of kit
So from the local fayre the other week, they had a number of classic cars, which I studiously ignored, but took some phone snaps of:

Now these may actually be traction engines, but there where tractors come from... these 'miniature' ones are amazing, as they must be built from scratch. Impressive.

Tractorists! So then thinking of getting an old tractor for a bit of work towing wood trailer up and down hill. Recommend something cheapish and simple. LOve the look of MF35's but they seem to be getting a bit pricey.
I love those miniatures. Fingers crossed Puffing Billy will still be sat there on the way home. Shame the weather will stop me getting some better photos.

I'm fully expecting the arrival of a baler today to pack and wrap the hay - apparently they could have done it the same day it was cut in this heat!
And as if by magic...

From the Severn Valley Railway.. The "Catch Me Who Can" replica.
