Not tractors in the agricultural sense, but two machines associated with the forestry in mid Wales - seen on the approach road to Sweet Lamb Rally Centre in early June this year

This came past our house a few weeks ago. I think I added it to the 'Picture of the Day' thread, but I'd forgotten about Tractor Trumps at the time. It's a Fowler Ploughing Engine, 'The Chief' model, built in Leeds in 1875, and it was grinding its way southwards through eastern Shrops on 19th July, presumably on its way to some agricultural show. Sorry about the exposure being a bit dark, despite the small amount of blue sky in the background, the day was actually quite gloomy.

Forest Monster is an HSM, know a guy with one, very useful bit of kit for getting out big trees.

The other two forestry machines look familiar to me, especially as the Tigercat appears to have it's back open for repairs 😆.

I was stuck behind what I thought was a tractor towing a trailer full of bales doing about 30km/h on the B310 in Allgäu yesterday. After about 5-6km I managed to overtake it on a straight section of road.

It wasn't a tractor it was a 1960s Unimog driven by what looked like a teenage girl with her grandad.  It really made me smile.

I'd like a cool Grandad with an old Unimog and I'm in my 50s

The bells are in case you don't hear the tractor coming.
