@redthunder – a couple of photos from Europe from Septmeber

This was weird: an almost new big Unimog being used as a road-train style coach at Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. There is no dignity in demonstrating your towing prowess by dragging fat tourists between car parks

This was much better, a municipal forest worker pulled up outside the town hall in this beauty in Waldkirch, Schwarzwald. It was clean as it was being prepared for the festival where they bring the cattle down from the high pastures for the winter

Timberwolf TW280TFTR Chipper 7.5" (Tracked) by SGMTB[/url], on Flickr

Bloody hard work chipping. We use to have one of them at work, I preferred our older chipper as it could take bigger wood 🙂

Had to give back a tractor mounted chipper, realised we were felling stuff just to test the chipper. Things like whole 10″ dia. willow trees, just back the chipper up to the tree and hoist the tree into the feed.

Where’s the thread content gone?

Edit – Ignore the above its just re-appeared for me.

Spotted these while out riding in the “Beast From the East”:

A couple of recent sightings…

little grey v8 fergie

.
I have no idea what this is

That is a road roller, when the road is surface dressed with bitumen and loose chippings it is used to press the stone into the tar.

I was thinking more make/model. Anyone know?

According to DVLA it’s a Bomag – I’ll be damned if I can find it exactly but looks similar to the BW 16 R.

Fiat Agri F100

Spotted this beast last winter:

get ready to bid (hopefully no paywall) down under collection up for sale….just 1 or 2

and relax with a log drink to read this article…most Australians live in cities but national news covers tractoring:

Blimey, can’t believe this thread is still staggering on! I went to the Cheshire Steam Fair last weekend, I’ll get some photos up later.

Wow, it’s ten years old!

Where did you see those engines Matt?

Between Bentwaters USAF and MOD Woodbridge. I can get GR – there were loads of old things there.

Looks interesting. What does GR mean?

Grid Reference.

More old machinery, mostly pumps, and mystery massive ramp.

Loosely keeping with the theme…. Ancient turf cutter on Berneray

I’m pretty sure that turf cutter is a spud planter

Thought the same thing 🙂

Come on then. Post up some of your videos for everyone to see…

Well if my bro won’t post his videos I will 🙂

Just for reference. Some of these videos may indeed have been in South Gloucestershire as the farm he works on certainly does contract work all the way up past Lydney.

Combining last year

And some vintage action from 1995
