Tractor Trumps – South Glos Rules ;-)

[redthunderMember]

🙂 You don’t want to see my tractor 😉

[redthunderMember]

Today. Whilst a passenger in the car.. Driver thought I was mental 😉

Trying to explain this madness to a unbeliever is quite a feat ;-). However, by the end of journey he was up to speed on basic tractor ID’ing 🙂

If anybody’s in Cardiff this weekend there’s a load of John Deere’s parked outside the castle. From the early ones to the latest. Would make a great picture. Sadly my phone was dead as I went past 😥

I didn’t take many pictures but 2 weeks ago we partook in the national steam plough championships, you are now in the midst of a champion ploughman! 🙂

I’ve got a few photos which I’ll sort out and get posted up, we were using our Z7’s a matching pair that were back from Zimbabwe in the 70’s.

We had a total of 22 steam engines ploughing our farm were pulling them around the place with our Allis Chalmers crawlers.

Well, if we are allowed construction and forrestry equipment can I have this?

[redthunderMember]

@andrewh

You bet 🙂 Great pic. Chieftain ?

I had a Corgi model Chieftain when I was a kid…. Still got 🙂

[andrewhMember]

Yes, I think it is a Cheiftan, not certain though.
It was actually right next to the cyclo cross track I racd on last Sunday, we went passed it about 5 yards from the right of the picture each lap.
Pictures here include an amphibous vehicle of some sort http://www.andrewhowett.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/winter-sports-in-summer.html on the same racetrack

Chieftan Tank, that would be the Ancaster Cyclocross course, run by Sleaford Wheelers. Are you riding all the lincs league AndrewH?

[andrewhMember]

That’s the one Benji.
No, I’m not going to ride them all. I’m in Australia at the moment for the 24hr World Champs, so will have to miss a few. It’s a tough old life. I will be back at the end of the month, might do the one at Woodhall as I’m told that will be a good course. I like the ones in the trees, but 16 laps of a playing field doesn’t really appeal to me.
Will you be doing many of them? I might watch and cheer at a few more. Come and say hi if you spot me (I will be in the Sleaford Wheelers kit, with a beard and orange helmet. Just ask for Crasher…)

Morooka Tracked dumper.

Case 210 long reach

Case 9007 long reach

A fair few Ash and Field Maple came down to make room for the machines. Still it kept the ones with log burners happy.

Both of the above belong to Girlfriend’s Dad/the farm, I get to drive one of them, you guess which one…..

[anagallis_arvensisMember]

Has this one been done?[video]http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=pixNWRO1bxQ[/video]

[ourmaninthenorthSubscriber]

@slugwash my parents have two of those old Wheel Horses. They were second hand when they bought them 30 years ago. I used to mow the lawn and paddock with one. Flaming noisy!

I live just around the corner from a John Deere dealer. Will supply pics of both small and large shortly!

[PePPeRSubscriber]

I’ve fired up the Nuffield as a homage to McMoonter!

I’ve got about 4 beech trees to cut up and split over the next few weeks!

I reckon it’ll give me enough wood for about 3 years, whoop whoop, treated my self to a new Stihl MS251c and a new pair of chainsaw trousers!

First trailer full!

First tree I’ve got to bring in!

If anyone want a lovely little Stihl MS180 with an Oregon Powersharp 14″ bar, give me a shout!

Mrs RT’s young’un gave me the set 🙂
