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 ???

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?

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
You cant see me right! 😉

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.
